Thankyou all for the warm welcome.

Paul, I'm from Swansea in South Wales 3/4hr away from Cardiff.

Chris, I certainly would like to join the club, and I will.
It'd be nice to sit in a DeLorean as I have never actually been close to
one! Closest I've got to a DMC-12 is a pic of my Dad in one in Atlanta on a
garage forecourt in the early eighties!

spk to you all soon,

-Tristan

Hi all - I get the daily email as well, and I would agree with Pauls
request for posters not to keep copying the the email they are
replying to -it really multiplies the size of the email received.
You get a copy of the original message, the reply with the original,
then another reply with the first reply and the original......and so
it goes on.

Best Regards

Subject: gear change

I have just replaced the Shifter boot on my 5 speed. The new one has the
metal frame around the bottom as opposed to the plastic one.

The problem I now have is I have difficulty getting it into reverse, as I
can't get the gear stick over to the left enough with out pulling Sharpe
into the side of the plate the boot sits in.

Looking in the manual at F:07:01 on gear change tube, It sounds like this
simple adjustment, will move the entire shift pattern towards the passenger.
Is that all I need to do, as there seems to be plenty of space over that
side??

Cheers

Paul

Hello everyone,

My name is Tristan Carroll and am from South Wales.

I do not currently own a DeLorean, but hope to do so in the
near future.

I've spoken to one member already who's been ever so helpful with lots of
information on the car. This is a dream car for me and one I've always
wanted. I will own one, one day!

amyway, thought I'd introduce my self as a new member on this mailing list,

-cheers guys,

-Tristan

Subject: Site update and thanks

Hi all

I don't want to be accused of keep flagging my site, This will be the last
time, however I have now brought it right up to date on my restoration of
#6463.

I even did a brave thing tonight and totalled up all my parts invoices to
see what it has cost me so far......ooo err and it was not as much as I
thought :-)

Prices are at the end of the page.

Thanks to every one who has helped me get this far with the restoration, and
answering those sometimes trivial questions.

Paul

Tristan,
Glad to have you on board. It would be nice to properly sign you up to the
club. I can then send you lots of printed info, including rallies shows etc.
where you can get to see (and sit in) a proper DeLorean. It costs ?15 P/a,
there is a "Join" section on the DOC website.

All the best

Chris Parnham Hon Sec. DOC UK

Subject: Test Track Preservation Project - Calling all DMC owners and
enthusiasts!

Hello all,
As you may have heard of, there is a rumour that the current tenants on the
site where the old DeLorean factory was are planning to expand their
business and eventually destroy the old test track in this process of
re-developing the site. For those of you attended Eurofest last May, you
will surely agree that if the test track is to disappear then there isn't
much left of the birthplace of our DeLoreans...

A good friend of mine Ian Foster (from Northern Ireland, currently living in
Hong Kong) has already taken action.
To cut a long story short - you can join us both in writing the Mayor of
Belfast and the various comittees which will definitely notice our interest
in preserving the Test Track. If no-one writes, then we can't be sorry
later. We may not succeed in saving the Test Track, but then at least we
have tried! To use Marty's words from Back to the Future - If you put your
mind to it, you can accomplish anything!

If I understand Ian correct, we can have our voice heard but we have to act
within 6 months! That is the absolute deadline! Time is running fast so
start writing today - individuals, DMC Clubs etc.

Me and Ian suggest that the Test Track "should be preserved as part of our
history and heritage" of our beloved DeLoreans - in other words, every
DeLorean owner and enthusiast should be proposing that the City of Belfast
should consider preserving the test-track as both an "Industrial Heritage
Site," tourist attraction, and public open space/Park.

Ian has already got a polite letter back from the letter he wrote saying
that all proposals would be considered.
Imagine the effect when the Mayor's office receives letters from all over
the world! Its bound to have some sort of impact, and hopefully a positive
one!

The Govt are undertaking a major Study in Belfast at present looking at land
use issues, etc ... unfortunately the site is privately owned/leased so
difficult for the Council to step on the toes of a big local employer if
they did want to redevelop the track! But - we have a chance I'm sure!

I guess if there were enough letters from Individuals and DMC Clubs it may
help draw their attention to the issue. The Study will be concluded in about
6 months so write now!

The adress:
F.a.o. Councilor Jim Rogers, The Lord Mayor of Belfast
C/o Members' Room,
City Hall,
Belfast,
BT1 5GS
N.Ireland.

Now, go to the DMC News vault...there you will find a drawing made by Ian -
Test Track plan.

Print it, and attach it to your letter. Let's show the world that DeLorean
owners CARE!

Best wishes
Mr. Stian Birkeland
