Well after being a very satisfied 1981 Delorean owner since June of 1998, I sadly have come to the conclusion that the car is finished. The frame is beyond repair and the vehicle is no longer safe to operate. When the car was purchased in 98 it had been abandoned for many years and the weather and exposure had taken its toll on the interior and facias. Against better judgment I bought this one and had it flat bedded home. I wrote a large check at the Warehouse in Columbus the year the show was held in Cincinnati and the fun started. After six months of parts hunting and the help from folks around the country, we were on the road. I started with 9400 miles and ran it up to 34000 cross country miles. With many weekend trips and long vacations, this was a pleasure to drive. We have met and traveled with some very good people who also happen to enjoy their cars. The amount of interest shared was not just limited to the cars but the desire to travel and meet new people. Kathy and I have always been reluctant to join clubs of any sort. But the decision to participate in the Delorean Club of Ohio was one we will continue to enjoy for years to come. The fact that we are currently without a Delorean will not prevent our continued interest and traveling with the group. 4419 is currently deposited at Dave's shop in Columbus. I have made arrangement to get rid of the carcass with Dave. And the hunt starts for another car. Hoping to see everybody in Chicago.
