First Drive - Happy Hour!

["Stian Birkeland" <dmc_norway@xxxx>]

Today was the first day of 2001 I had my car outside and driven. The snow is 
long gone here in the southern part of Norway, and today the weather was 
sunny. Last weekend + Monday and Tuesday, I did a few things to get my 
DeLorean ready for spring and of course the drive from Norway to England to 
get to EUROFEST in May.

I installed the battery saver from DMC Joe (Plug and Play, not plug and 
pray! ;-) ) With good help from my online friends Warren and Stephen at DMC 
Houston together with Jan van de Wouw (Netherlands) and Ralf Phillip 
(Germany), I finally was able to sort out my wiring problems and clean up 
the mess from the previous owner(s). I now have a Sony CD-player with green 
illumination (perfect), but I will keep the Craig in my DMC memorabilia 
collection just for nostalgia.

Today I drove my DeLorean again - as always a great car! It has never left 
me stranded yet, and hopefully never will!

It still handles so well, and is such a joy to drive!

Again, I love seeing the jaws drop on people looking/staring at the car and 
pointing. You can see everyone is excited of that "futuristic car".

Is it just me or does anyone else on this list feel the same? I mean 
whenever I get out of the car, opening the gullwing doors, I automatically 
get a big smile on my face...and yes, the smile is also there even if there 
is not people looking.

The DeLorean is a cute car which really makes my day. If I'm in a bad mood, 
I just go out for a drive and come back as a new person.

So there you go, just a little report from "over here", I think the DML 
should have more positive postings of our experiences with the D! It is so 
special, and so are everyone here on the list, always helpful and really 
caring! Keep up the good work, the DeLorean will live on forever and give 
new dreams to the next generation.

Best wishes
