Very very good J. As I tell everyone, no matter how well you think you know the DeLorean there is always new information to be discovered. I always figured that Lucas must make at least one good product; you may have discovered it. Now that you "let the cat out of the bag" you need to give us a model or stock number. Thanks for the info.
