Day 210

04/01/2016 Springfield - Crystal Lake (USA)

Marty Maier (also an old friend of Klaus), Jake Kamphoefner and Micah Fryman, three Delorean drivers from St. Louis, appear today in the morning at the hotel, to attend us for the day.
The Deloreans stayed at home (unfortunately), the gang appeared with Lotus Esprit (Jake and Micah) and Lotus Elise (Marty). Today Bill Schafer and Jim Leones were with the Deloreans there.

On the way from Springfield to Crystal is Piper City located , there Rich Weissensel's Delorean-collection  is stored in a barn.

We could live admire the legendary modifications, the D-Rex is ready, limo and cabrio need still some work...

After the goodbye of the St.Louis-Gang we went on to DMC Midwest in Crystal Lake near Chicago.
There owner David Swingle and his wife Julee welcomed us.
