    Great photos Z, as usual.

    I haven't seen a Delorean in years (of course moving to the edge of nowhere five years ago probably has something to do with that.) I had a client in Silicon Valley who owned one. I seem to remember he didn't drive it much.

    Looks like you had a great time. Hey,...where's the girltorage?

    Outside of California, I'd wager that the Houston area has the largest concentration of Deloreans! In 1997, a Houston company acquired the tooling, inventory and distribution rights for the DMC12 and is sevicing and restoring, as well as building new cars here.

    I was missing my wife and the Girltorage! They were spread out between the Houston Rodeo and a big Sci-Fi con in Dallas.

    I didn't know someone was building them again. Are they only selling locally, or are they starting to move into the national market?

    Three events,...you have to spread out to cover them all. Thanks again, for the great photos.

    Had some probs with my server so if this is a duplicate, I appologize. Anyway, being a Mazdaspeed owner and kilt wearer these parade pictures struck a chord. Looks like lots of fun and thanks for letting us participate vicariously. Our parade in Salt Lake was pretty soggy and they put a limit of only 6 cars per club so I haven't been it for a few years. Also, did you know there is a registered MX-5 Owner's Club Tartan? (http://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tar....aspx?ref=5070) That would make for some awesome seat covers, not to mention kilt. Happy St. Patrick's Day, I'll tip a Guinness to you all.
