1.2. Gigawatts ?!? What was I thinking..

I fulfilled a life long dream today,. i got to see the flux capacitor ! I actually got to drive around in my friend Peter’s mint condition 1981 Delorean !!!!

Actually.. hanging out with Peter was a treat in itself.. His  is a very funny and brilliant guy.. our conversations zig zagged between work , cars, the club of rome, you name it. He  made a special point of bringing in the time machine.. which he got with 0 miles on it.. .. into work. It has only 5000 km on it now. .. It was a thin

 

The car was even signed by John Delorian himself !

 

We took a quick spin on the highway out to shiphol airport.. it was great watching everyones reaction as we drove by..

we were moving fast.. but I can only assume that we never hit 88 mph.. since i’m still here and it’s roughly ‘now’ 

 

Peter arranged A fun impromptu  photoop by running in to the student event and yelling that everyone should exit the building.

people didn’t quite know why.. but as they poured out, they saw the beautiful and iconic car and loved it..

 

 

i was suddenly feeling like an introverted Doc Brown

 

Here’s friend Andy  from England taking the wheel

 

and my freind Fiona from Ireland.

what a treat.. Thank you peter.. you are one cool dude..

 

I had just 5 min to bus around the event and say good bye to the organizers and my friends.. I managed to get a quick pic of Rolf’s sausage cooking device. He and andy were speaking this afternoon. I wish i could have heard them both !

 

now flying home to burlington after more than a week away…   gotta say its strange flying on 9/11// my thoughts are out there for all the folks who were affected

who wasn’t ?

 

nite all, nite sam
