I asked him for a price and he said 42 pounds per PAIR of struts. That
is including return international shipping. Simply send your sagging
struts to Dave with a cheque for 42 pounds (which equals 69 dollars -
slightly more than the cost of ONE new strut from DMC Houston) and he'll 
send you a pair of re-gassed struts by return.
(SNIP)
I was talking to Ron Grady about this and he said this topic came over the 
weekend at the tech seminar at the SEDOC event in Atlanta. He talked about 
the lifespan of the regassesd struts as about one year ONLY.
I talked to Steven at DMC Hoston and he said the same thing, that the 
problem is the shafts on the struts get pitted over time, microscopically 
pitted, but pitted nonetheless, and thats why the gas leaks out. I can see 
thats why re-gassing would only last a year, where new struts with new 
shafts would last longer.
Seems like re-gassing is a losing proposition to me, especially considering 
its $70 per pair, plus I have to pay to send the olds ones to England...what 
do I do until they come back, build up my arm muscles opening the doors 
without a strut on it? And if he only does them in batches of 30, it may be 
awhile before I get them back, too!

Does anyone here know how to go about finding a book that's only
availible in the UK? Recently I went to the university looking for a
copy of "Start Up" (see the archives), while I was at the library, I
logged onto the international card catalogue, and there I a more recent
book available (1990), but only in the UK titled "The DeLorean-Chapman
Conspiracy" by Robin Wright. If any could offer me some tips on
locating a copy, I would greatly apperciate it! Thanks in advance!

ok, a couple quick questions for you all
1. The wheel bearing thing, I listened more closely and I think the
buzzing noise is coming from the rear left, right behind the driver. 
any answers?  I just changed the sparkplugs and gas line recently. 
Could I have messed something up around there?
2. when I reach 65MPH or so my windshield starts to vibrate near the
top by the driver.  anybody have the same thing?  anybody know what to
do about it?  I don't know if it IS the windshield, but its coming from
that area.

While looking through some DMC memorabilia I have accumulated over the past
15 years, I came across a newspaper article from the late 80's that
indicated a man was preparing to be "entombed behind the wheel of his
stainless steel Delorean sports car." The title of the article is "Man plans
to be buried in his own fast lane". The 67 year old man of Port Orange,
Florida, Philip Miuccio, "a retired commercial pilot and stock-car racer" is
(or was) "building a $30,000 marble mausoleum with amber bulletproof windows
on a hill overlooking a runway at Daytona Beach Regional Airport". "Who says
you can't take it with you when you die?" the man said. It goes on to
identify David Collins, General Manager of the 20 acre Cedar Hill Memory
Gardens as saying "This is the strangest request we've ever had". I'll bet.
Any of you Florida DMC owners (or anyone else) know anything about this or
if it ever happened?
I apologize in advance if anyone knows or knew this person and is offended
by my posting these details.

Well after 9 months on the shelf and 4 months in the shop.  I got out on
the road
this weekend.  What a great ride.  My wife thought I had a girl friend
because of the ever present grin on my face all weekend. I also got to
put the car in my new 3 car garage!!
FYI
I have had the good fortune to drive 3 very nice cars since Labor Day
1970 Corvette Stingray, (20K still showroom fresh inside & out) - Red
1997 Corvette T5, (7K Brand New) Also Red
1981 DMC-12, 29K very original automatic
The 70 Vette is a beauty with great power.  The 97 Vette is a monster, I
had it up to  110 mph in 3rd gear (6 speed). The Delorean is mine and
although its an auto, the most fun to drive. I put 300 miles on it in 2
days last weekend.
For those of you who don't like the automatic its understandable,
however,
even here at 5,000 feet in Denver it has plenty of power for me. I just
don't drag race anybody, and as you know it loves curves in the road. I
would probably just hurt myself, and the car, if I had Rad Dad's twin
turbo manual set-up. btw - Rad Dad if you would like to get together
some time send me a note and so can work out details.

I have recently started investigating purchasing a Delorean.  It really
seems like there are a lot of maintenance issues with the car....if i
were to purchase a bone stock car, how much money would i have to spend
to
replace all the things that should be replaced, meaning all the
comments i
see about "You should replace that hose with a steel braided one.."
etc...
is this impression of there being a lot of maintenance issues well
founded?
i don't know if i'm interesting in purchasing a car that will have
something
wrong with it most of the time....but if i've got the wrong impression,
please
let me know.  
Thanks in advance,
Bruce

I recently successfully cured a rattle that had been driving me 
bonkers. It seemed to be coming from *everywhere*, I couldn't 
localize it. Finally, my 12 year old son said that he thought it was 
the roof.  Bingo! The place where the lip on the front of the 
T-shaped piece of stainless hooks under the body piece above the 
windshield was loose enough to allow the stainless to rattle in the 
wind. (This is just a lock-fit--there are no fasteners between the 
roof and the car at this point.)  I removed the stainless T-panel, 
glued a thin piece of soft foam rubber to the bottom front of it (the 
whole width of the front, just behind the lip), put it all back 
together, and we're now quiet as a Lexus (well, almost).
As a side note, if you decide to remove your roof panel, note that 
there is a screw on each side (accessible from the top of the door 
sill, near the torsion bars) that is not mentioned in the removal 
procedure in the service manual. You won't be able to remove the 
panel until you loosen them.

Responding to your question that Deloreans need a lot of maintenance:

 problems and up-keep that seems to be required.
The Delorean is an excellent automobile that requires no more maintenance t=
hat any other automobile provided that you give it the care and attention a=

The Delorean is a study in design, granted it has it's quirks, the same as =
any other piece of machinery and therefore, requires it's tweaks now and th=
en.  To be afraid of the maintenance requirements is to be afraid to own an=

As my friend and I concluded, we questions the remarks made on the bulletin=
 board, from a non owner's point of view that we may be painting a very dim=

Have been wanting to make this comment for sometime and I thank you for giv=

Aside:  this might be a contributing reason for the price of such a wonderf=

 national pricing indicated and if you can get one now on today's market, I=

The car shown on the pictures called Z9 is a vision from BMW designers of a next
generation 4 seat sports coupe. You could open the doors in two ways. Like
standard doors if you want only access to the front seats and like gullwings
doors if you want access to the backseats to. The car is actually displayed at
the International Car Show (IAA) in Frankfurt and it seems it never went into
produktion.
But it seems this kind of doors will have a renaissance. Mercedes-Benz is
premiering its new futuristic high-performance sports car called SLR. The cars
uses a kind of jackknife doors like the lamborghini.

It seems BMW and Mercedes now know what DeLorean knew twenty years ago. These
doors are extremly "sexy" and are always good for turning heads
