I too am nearing my one year anniversary of having a D (in October) and understand how exciting it can be. Even with having the hassal of needing a lot of work over the past year (not the least of which was replacing the auto trans computer/governor TWICE) I still must say that you remember the fun times a lot more than the bad ones. Especially if you have a good mechanic to take care of your work for you if you are mechincally retarted as I am. Alas, the year flew by so fast that I didn't have time to do some of the other work I need, so that will have to wait over the next 6 months. Has anyone else noticed how that first year of DeLorean ownership seems to fly by? I too would like to that Dave, Aaron in TN, Robert in Vegas, and everyone else on the list who has sent help my way and been VERY patient and helpful with all my questions. You have all been such a HUGE support that I can't see how I would have made it through a year of DeLorean ownership without the list. And I forgot your name, but whoever helped me in that AOL chat room with my first little project of connecting my door lights, THANK YOU! I know it was a simple little thing, but it really helped to show me not to be afraid of problems and that many things on a DeLorean can be easily dealt with. Again, thank you for all the help...I have saved many posts and will continue to refer to them in my repairs for the upcoming year, Richard Modesto, CA
