Chronicles
DeLorean World Tour
Three men from Germany, have meticulously put together 5 years of hard work. Work that came from a spontaneous dream to share in an adventure that will circumnavigate the world. The idea of travelling the world isn't so new but in Deloreans now that's different, after all this is a thirty year old car enduring the snow, the rain and the heat.
They restored three Delorean's to a standard fit for the world and put their dream into action. I had the pleasure of meeting with the team; Wolfgang Hank, Andre Springer and Klaus Steiner and enjoying a day escorting them around Dubai for those much needed travelling pictures. It was without doubt an amazing day. Caught a little sun to the head but it was being with a team of guys that are and will be inspiring people to do more with their lives, not to mention travelling with these incredible classics. Every bit of me wanted to grab a bag and join them for the rest of the world. In true UAE style the sun shone without interruption of cloud, without that much wanted breeze. It was beautiful! I led the guys to a few places in order to gain those much wanted pics. First stop an uninterrupted view of the Dubai skyline. Escorting was quite something, three cars all the same following in convoy, attracting the interest of other motorists at every kilometer. Camera phones were in hands, with many slowing down to grab a snap of a car that has quite possibly never been seen on the roads of the UAE before. We also stopped at |
Jumeira beach, the attractive Burj Al Arab overlooking. Tourist
and locals alike were curious to see these cars, ask questions and have there pictures taken. The team with great smiles of delight and enthusiasm stood with many sharing there passion for the tour. Why even a Northern Irish family happen to be walking along the beach. You could see their proud and amazed eyes looking at the cars, after all they were built in Northern Ireland and what better to see fellow land classics in a place like the UAE. The team have many more months in front of them and many more countries to share these cars with the cultures that they greet. From the UAE they will head to Mumbai and cross India in the direction of Nepal. Track their progress from their site and Facebook, watch the adventures continue until the team reach their goal and the goal? Northern Ireland, ready for the 30th Anniversary of Delorean.
