Dear All,
It sounds like the weekend was an excellent event, so I'm sad I wasn't able to make it. I was doing airport runs with various relatives, both Saturday and Sunday, so not a chance for me to get to Birmingham. Like others with their cars, I hope that Lola will be able to feature at next years event, with her new interior, re-brushed panels and sparkling polished alloy wheels, after all, every show needs a RHD! J I'm happy to hear that so many young things are getting into the Delorean world, like me of course, the club really benefits from it I think. Not that I'm into the Neon strip lighting thing, and huge ICE, but everyone to their own on those accounts. The car can only live on through us young ones. I just hope it lives on without too many modifications, I always like to feel I'm driving an unchanged classic, even if it is a little flawed in its raw stateJ Personally I market the car as much as possible, taking friends of friends for drives, in the hope that one of them will one day try to import a US car.
I bought DVD monthly, with the Back to the Future cover disc. It includes the making of documentary, which has about 2-3 mins of Delorean related footage, plus 15 mins footage from each film, including the carpark scene from BTTF1. I will openly admit that I watched said carpark scene over 10 times in succession, pausing at all the correct moments. Watching this scene, with Lola parked only meters away, must fill every owner with the same feeling as me I'm sure, "I'm the luckiest bloke in the world, and I know it". A real rush I think. I just had to go back outside, open the gull wing door, sit inside, smile, get back out, observe the car from every angle, turn the lights to full beam, crouch infront of the car, hum the BTTF theme a couple of times, then go back inside elated.
I remember Martin once asked the question to Rich and I "would you have bought the delorean if it wasn't stainless steel, and had gullwing doors?" It just occurred to me this morning what a daft question it was. I thought of a better one, perhaps more revealing about D owners in general.:
If the Delorean had continued in production, up until the present day, independently, or as an acquired subsidiary, would you have bought one?"
