1.2. Gigawatts ?!? What was I thinking..<\/p>\n

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 !!!!<\/p>\n

Actually.. hanging out with Peter was a treat in itself.. His\u00a0\u00a0is a very funny and brilliant guy.. our conversations zig zagged between work , cars, the club of rome, you name it. He\u00a0\u00a0made 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<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The car was even signed by John Delorian himself !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We took a quick spin on the highway out to shiphol airport.. it was great watching everyones reaction as we drove by..<\/p>\n

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’\u00a0\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Peter arranged A fun impromptu \u00a0photoop by running in to the student event and yelling that everyone should exit the building.<\/p>\n

people didn’t quite know why.. but as they poured out, they saw the beautiful and iconic car and loved it..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

i was suddenly feeling like an introverted Doc Brown<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here’s friend Andy \u00a0from England taking the wheel<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and my freind Fiona from Ireland.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

what a treat.. Thank you peter.. you are one cool dude..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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 !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

now flying home to burlington after more than a week away… \u00a0 gotta say its strange flying on 9\/11\/\/ my thoughts are out there for all the folks who were affected<\/p>\n

who wasn’t ?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

nite all, nite sam<\/p>\n
