Re: [doc] Dreams of a sports car

["Declan Gantley" <dgantley@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A couple of days before I brought home 2908 I was scared and nervous 
at the thought of driving a car 600 miles that I had only ever sat in.
All I thought of was what could go wrong and it is still only a 
project car with a lot of work since I bought it.
But after the experience of driving from Holland to Ireland I would 
do it again anytime.

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.

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!!)

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!
