Re: [doc] Re: Eurofest

[MARK HOUGHTON <markahoughton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just finished reading all the emails regarding Eurofest and what more can I add? The people of Northern Ireland are so proud of the car and so in awe of seeing one (or 75 ) in the metal that you never have to wait at a junction or wait for a gap in the traffic. A delorean in Northern Ireland gets the same courtesy on the road as an ambulance with blue lights and sirens - in fact I
  I think even an ambulance would give way to a D in NI. I got the same courtesy driving back to the docks solo as we did in convoy - amazing.
   
  The Irish lads and Rob Lamrock did an amazing job organising such a huge event with such a strict timetable and so many venues,cars, characters and nationalities. Congratulations.
   
  Chris (Hawes), got your e mail and will reply off list. After you called last night i have dug out the info I had and will email it over to you. No wonder it took you so long to walk down to the Causeway, everybody else was walking back up as you came down due to a slight delay to propose. Did you see the Simpsons last night on Channel 4? Troy McClure married Selma and his wedding car was his Delorean, - and you do look a bit like Troy McClure, not that I'm suggesting for one millisecond that Rachel is anything like Selma oohgh. Congratulations Chris & Rachel you are a lovely couple.
   
  I nearly didn't make it to Eurofest. I must thank Chris Nicholson for helping me to get my car put back together in time. I stripped out the whole interior to trace a water leak which i couldn't find. Upon contacting Chris and Darren at PJG, Chris spent a week with me found and cured all the leaks, which where down to failed dried out joint sealant on the GRP bulkhead and around the doors and helped re install the interior including new qtr trim panels, GRP headliners  and freshly re upholstered seats by Lee Pattison (who i can thoroughly recommend).  They look like new, smell like new  are genuine NOS and Lee is a full time vehicle trimmer and Delorean owner who specialises in leather work. Chris N was so impressed he has bought the same covers from Lee for his PJ Grady concours D in the USA. 
   
  I must also thank James Espey and Warren at DMCH for ordering in and dispatching some speakers to me so quickly from Houston. They arrived in the nick of time to allow reassembly of the car. I couldn't find any decent 10 x 4s available in the UK, so James ordered me in a set of Eclipse that they use in their rebuilt cars (with audio upgrades these are not normally available from DMCH) and expressed them over. They fit straight in with a set of nos gaskets and sound awesome. As a result, Steve Wynne is considering offering these as an "improved" part on the website shortly. Obviously the US owners can source them directly but its not so easy in Europe as they are not a European sized speaker.
   
  I finished reassembling  the car at 3am, and set off for Birkenhead and a great weekend at 4am.
   
  I met a lot of great people in Belfast of all nationalities and can honestly say anyone who owns or has any interest in the car should have been there. I envy those who  are going to the Lotus event this weekend but cannot commit  2 successive weekends. ~I am absolutely gutted they are arranged so closely though I can understand why, now if only i can rearrange a few things, sweet talk the wife...............................................
