- And it's official!
We can announce the dates that the Delorean Time
Machine will be rentable in Columbus,
Ohio:

- To say that at no
time did I ever believe this would happen is to state
the obvious. There's absolutely no reason to spend
over $2500 to ship your car to and from Ohio for a
gig. There's closer cars and most corporations would
never pay for that. So the fact that my brother just
HAPPENED to build high performance racing engines and
I took yet another leap of fatih? This was possible.
And now it's official. So yes, I'm thrilled to be able
to drive this around my home town and have fun with my
friends and family. In my mind these were two
completely different worlds. It's incredible that the
same roads I drove in my early 20s will be redriven in
this car. Kickass.

- It's also a
bit of pressure on Kenny, but it's a good month
further ahead than we've estimated. I will indeed be
coming out in February for a weekend to help him work
on the car and get some video of turning the engine
and doing a dyno read for the first time. That should
leave him another full month to test and get this bad
boy ready for St. Patrick's Day. As well, we're going
to be doing the 1/4 mile stretch on March 26th, as
I mentioned in the previous entry, and Don
contacted me as he wants to be there. How freaking
cool. He may not be able to work that all out, so I'll
give him an out, but man - that would be awesome to
have Mayor Goldie Wilson in the pits as we go for the
record.
A phone call to CD101, sorry, CD102.5 and we will
absolutely be doing something with them and hopefully
the Columbus Blue Jackets if all works out. That's
actually the biggest reason for this little video. A
big press push to get the word out. And
things are coming
together at record pace. As well the cost of this
modification is double what was assumed and, whew,
it's taking a bit of a toll. I have it - I'm
still doing it - but now the onus to book actual gigs
in Columbus during that time is very, very real. Plus
there's family obligations - people who have never
even MET Cameron... fitting this all in is going
to be extremely difficult... but it will be an
adventure.
-
- What an incredibly
fun way to start a new year.
