Re: [doc] Dreams of a sports car

["Troy Knight" <dmc.knight@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't worry this sounds just as sad I've already made myself a mix CD with all songs I'd like to cruse in a delorean to, and I haven't even got a driver's licence yet!

 I've always been into cars, I think it started when I was about 4 years old and my dad bought me a 1/24 model of a ferrari testarossa and I loved it, It's not my favourite car but that's what started my love for cars. Next I was whatching BTTF with my dad one day and he said that I would like this movie because it has a sports car in it, I couldn't stop whatching it after that day and couldn't stop dreaming about the car, that's what started my obsession with deloreans.

I think that is what is so great about a car with history is because it's interesting to know.

Your Pal
Troy

  I know what you mean Troy, I've got it real bad at the moment, and have been at this stage now for the last year! It's just that thought that one day I'm actually going to own my very own D and it's such a fantastic feeling. Everytime I hear 'The Power of Love' I can imagine myself driving around in my D and I get the shivers (I know it sounds really sad, doesn't it!!)  
  I never really used to be into cars that much when I was younger, and I have to admit up until about two years ago I didn't know what a DeLorean was! I'd always loved the BTTF films, but there was something special about that car. I assumed that it was especially made for the films, little did I know this dream machine actually existed! When I finally saw a DeLorean for the first time without the Cooling towers and other bits & bobs attached, it was a case of WOW! and that's pretty much when this whole obsession began for me!

    When Dave and I collected Flopsy from Tilbury Docks, there was the
    anticipation leading up to collection day, but when we got there and
    saw the car at the back of the warehouse all we could think about was
    loading it up and getting home.  It was a very long day, as having got
    Flopsy home at 6pm, we then had to take the trailer back to Chrispy in
    Derby and didnt get back to Stevenage till about 11pm.

    It wasnt really until the next morning, when we pulled back the car
    cover and started exploring our new purchase properly that it really
    sank in.

    We knew we'd bought a wreck, so I guess we wernt that disappointed
    really!! ;oD

    I think we (well Dave!) was more excited when he bought #6457.  I have
    to confess I had very little interest in DeLorean's until we got that
    one home and rapidly discovered what an experience owning and living
    with a DeLorean can be.  From that moment I was hooked and when Flopsy
    arrived about 18mths later our DeLorean family was complete!
