Gentlemen: Ladies too: I still don't own a D, but I own/have owned many classic/special interest cars over the last 25 years. Believe me Parts and Up grades for the DeLorean are cheap in comparison. To be honest, I am surprised at the low prices for nice D's I have seen. My Amphicar transmission costs $2700 to $3800, if you can get one!! This Forum is also incredible... I do not know this guy DMC Joe, but he is an invaluable asset obviously dedicated to the DeLorean, as are many others. You Folks have a Good thing going here.....keep it up! Dennis "Mike" Drake
