Re: DeLorean Tour Oct 27 & 28

PJ Gradys is about 40 Miles outside Manhattan.
There are currently no problems with traffic here on Long Island
(aside from the usual congestion) as a result of the recent tragedy
at the trade center.

People coming from the south should use the Varrazanow Bridge, which 
has remained open with no appreciable impact.
If you are coming from the north the Throgs neck and white stone 
bridges have been heavy but ok on the weekends. 

Typically I would not recommend gaining access to Long Island Via 
Manhattan at any time and I would urge people to avoid Manhattan
rightnow because that area is still a traffic mess.

Ferry service is available from New England, e-mail me @ 
turbodmc@xxxx if you need that info.

The event itself will be about 100 miles from the city, you will be
no where near the trade center or the city.
The part of long Island you will be going through is like nothing you 
have seen in New York before.

It was suggested to me that we all display American flags on our cars 
and I like that idea.

I was not going to preach about the tragedy but I will say this and I 
hope the moderators will let it through.

We as civilized people must not succumb to Terrorists and fear, I
have not canceled this event because I think as a New Yorker and an 
American we must go on and live our lives to the fullest and not in 
fear. To do anything less is letting the terrorist win and succeed in 
their mission.

I hope to see many of you there, last year we had people from 7
states show up, it would be nice to have people from more then 7 
states this year.
