Hey List, So it's time for me to come out of hiding and see what's going on in the DeLorean world again. As many of you know I've owned 2 DeLoreans in the past; the first one bit the dust because a drunk driver plowed into me, and I had to sell the second one last November because I hit a rough patch. The bug has never left me tho, in fact it seems to keep growing worse every day! And I finally have a career working for the Federal Reserve that will support my DeLorean habit. Anyone want my fully loaded '01 Eclipse Spyder GT? Haha :-) Here's my question, my last two DeLoreans were both grey interior 5- speed cars. I want to mix things up this time around and get something different. It seems most everyone I've been close friends with in the DeLorean community has had a naturally aspirated 5-speed car. I think for the sake of spicing things up this time around I'd like either an automatic or turbo DeLorean. Anyone have experience of driving either of these daily? I've heard BAD things about automatic DeLoreans, that their transmissions just aren't the best and they eventually all need a multi-thousand dollar overhaul or replacement at some point in their lives. Never really been around anyone who's had a turbo car for any period to hear their horror stories either. Anyone have anything to share about either the Island twin turbo setup or the BAE single turbo cars? Are parts easy to obtain for them? My next DeLorean will be my only car, so keep that in mind. Any thoughts on the subject would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to drop me an email at Louie (AT)DeLorean.com. Take care!
