Well Scott,
Welcome
to the DOC, you've dropped into the email group at a quiet time today.
Normally there are emails flying back and forth at quite some speed, about many
different subjects, but today there is little going on I'm afraid.
I'll
introduce myself. My names Stephen, and I purchased my
Delorean last Christmas Eve. Mine is a RHD model,
with manual transmission and a grey interior. It is in very good condition overall,
with only a minimal number of jobs left to complete. Named Lola, she reallyis
the most fantastic car I've ever owned, and I've been lucky enough
to have been involved with quite a few prestige cars. She belonged to Dave Howarth before me, who did a lot of work
to bring her condition up to scratch. Other than that, the registration is
PSO 69W, and the VIN# is 6896.
I'm
based in the Bath area, but there are owners all over the UK. Someone else will be able to tell you exactly how many cars there
are in the UK, but one thing's for sure, it's certainly one of the
rarest cars around. I think that statistically you are more likely to see a
well known celebrity in the street, than you are a Delorean,
I know which one I'd rather seeJ. Before I went to view Lola in November last year, I had only ever
seen two other delroeans. One parked outside one of
the hotels at Gatwick early in the morning about 10 years ago, and one at acar
museum about 12 years ago. That's it. You know, the best thing about
driving and owning a Delorean
for me, is watching the people looking at the car. The reason I love it so
much, is that it reminds me of the look on my face, when I first saw a Delorean in the flesh. A kind of dumb
looking grin, then a widening of the eyes, then a full faced smile. Most
of the people in Bath tend to follow that with, "It's a fucking Delorean", or "It's back to the future
init?" or "fucking back to the future yeh!!"
We're in the west-country here, far too much inbreeding J
If
you're ever in or around Bath, give
me a call, and come and check out the car for yourself, she's quite a
beauty I think(not a word about exhaust pipes here
Martin) J
Hope
you enjoy being in the Club, I enjoy it greatly. Last DOC get together in Derby was great fun for all the D owners and non-owners too.
Kind
regards,
Stephen.
