My De L'european tour of 3500km in 3 days
Posted: Sat Nov 29, 2014 10:36 pmThis was an interesting ride...
To think that in my 38 years of touring the globe I never encountered a Delorean. The first one I ever saw was mine, coming out of that container 18 months ago...
Last week I took a road trip from Augsburg Germany to pick up a Mini for a friend.
That bloody thing is quite fast for a diesel!
The only reason I took that trip is to drive to Ed's and pick up a new windscreen for my delo.
(you may hardly see it but its there!)
It was a very long drive for 3 days time but I played with the cards I had been dealt. No more time available...
What I found utterly interesting is that I encountered the most deloreans EVER!!!
Meet 1 (not scheduled)
Augsburg..
I drove by Deloman's garage and saw the two DELOREAN WORLD TOUR cars.
Apparently Deloman was on his midday break and I hardly go him to open the garage door for a hand shake. He then offered me some coffee, but the moment had passed for me.
On to eds place. Arrived there just in time (17:30) to pick up the screen. Ed was away so I missed to meet him. The fellas next door helped me get my screen.
Here are some shots for the masters place in europe:)
(pardon the poor smartphone shots)
This is a time machine made by a friend in Germany for who I made all the internal parts.. It is now sitting in Ed's Showroom.
On my way back, I met my friend ( owner of the TM) who owns another 5 Deloreans for a brief chat before I drove back to Athens.
main point.. screen made it safely to my garage
and the joke of it all..
Had I know Deloman was in augsburg, he had winscreens for me to buy... and I would have saved that long drive to ed (the extra 2000 KM!!!)
