Hi, I hope you don't mind me emailing you.
 
I am organising a Charity Car Show at Thruxton Motor Circuit on the 26th February in aid of Naomi House Hospice.
 
At the moment I am looking for exhibitors to come along and show either a classic, sports car, or just something a little bit different like your deloreans, and wondered if your members might be happy to bring one along on the day.
I am still polishing the finer details, so don’t have much more information at the moment, but if it is something you think your members would be interested in then please let me know and I will be in touch with more info when I have it.
It would be lovely if we can see you in February. 
Best Regards
Sian

In local antiques place. No mechanism. 4' across!!

   

£250. Translucent perspex back, ideal for backlighting. Can collect it if someone on here wants it!!

So for those of us at the NEC on the stand when we were approached by someone organising the isle of man festival of motoring? does anyone have a copy of the leaflet he left with us? so i can check all hotels and help sort the event out for those interested. 

I have checked out the hotels on offer for the 2023 run of the event and either the hotel in Ramsey or Ballasalla would be the recommended options since they have onsite parking and are easier to get to than those at Douglas as parking regulations on Douglas front are very unusual when I went earlier this year.

Also if we get a choice of either Liverpool or Heysham docks id highly recommend Heysham. it may be a little longer of a drive but its less of a hassle to get to as its out of the way of regular traffic and easy to load onto the ferry as the gradient of the ramp isn't as steep unlike Liverpool.

Im 100% up for a trip like this since we get so many perks like a closed run of the TT mountain road, access to both transport museums and our own spot for a stand.

Hi all,

as we've missed out on a Club meet this year, would we like to do something in 2023?

This year, we were invited back to Silverstone, but it was in late August, clashed with other
events and peoples holidays (including mine), and the upshot was, nothing got organised by
anybody.

In 2010, we had our first 'Lets Rotate the Club Event Round the Country' meet, in response to
many members, who whilst they enjoyed the yearly Norfolk based event, fancied a change of
scenery and also, for those 'oop north' or in the West, somewhere easier and closer to get to.

So, in 2010, we were based near Chirk on  the England/Wales border.  It was very well attended, 
including cars from Holland brought by Mart and Daisy (who were on honeymoon) and Welmoed
Jonker in his black car DeLorean.

We had a scenic drive up the Horseshoe Pass to the Ponderosa Cafe, and also took in a boat ride
on the Llangollen Canal.  Other local attractions included Chirk Castle and I think a local steam railway.

A few of us also ended up in a music video being filmed at a transport cafe at the petrol station near
the hotel.  Look up 'Rock off and Die' by Dangerous Dave on You Tube, and you'll see 4 DeLoreans at 
the end - mine was the fastest lol.

So, my question to you, the membership, is would a revisit to this area be of interest?  The Hotel, the
Lord Moreton was comfortable and reasonable, with a good carpark and attached restaurant.

I'm thinking September next year, probably around the weekend of 9-10th?  That way, school holidays
are over, and it should be quieter in the 'touristy' areas.

Hello all,

As some of you know I've done a small amount of gliding as a pastime and even briefly made it to solo flying this year, having completed the first stage of training.  For various reasons I haven't been since June, and in the winter it can be a bit hit and miss as it is obviously strongly weather-related!

However I have been wondering about trying to arrange a DOC weekend at the Gliding Centre which is the one I had been going to, based in Husbands Bosworth near Lutterworth.

The Gliding Centre | One of the UKs leading Gliding Clubs

I do know they occasionally host various clubs and have basic accommodation, a cafe/ restaurant doing breakfast, lunch and evening meals, and bar on the airfield, plus camping pitches with electric hookup.  Hopefully weather depending (again, obviously) there would be the chance to take a number of trial flights on the Saturday.  Depending on the conditions these can either be winch-launched or towed by a light aircraft, which means a higher release and more opportunity to find thermals.

I had been thinking Late April or May next year on a non-bank holiday weekend (as these weekends are typically busy with gliding club members) and can therefore be difficult to get flights in.

Anyway, if there is a quorum of members with an interest I shall go ahead and make enquiries.  Just a conceptual idea at the moment, which a tentative phone call has indicated is theoretically possible. 

I don't know what they might offer in terms of costs or accommodation fees but the 'book price' is usually about £10 for camping, £20 for a room, some static caravans etc, and trial flights are about £60 for a winch.

If you fancy it, reply here, and I'll see if we can muster the numbers; then I would have to approach them to try to arrange a date and some better cost estimates.

I know we've probably left it too late to book anywhere, but is there
any interest in a Midlands Area Xmas meet up this year?  I know costs
for many people have meant a squeeze on household budgets, with 
rising mortgages, bills, food prices, etc - we've certainly felt it here and 
are having to cut back on expenditure.

Do we have a preference on location?  Last years venue in Clay Cross near
Chesterfield is no longer a 'Big Jims' steak house.  In previous years, we've 
been to the 50's Diner near Swadlincote just south of Derby.  Or do you fancy
somewhere new?  

If people can hit me with some ideas, and a preference for location, then I'll 
make some enquiries and see what is available.

Been contacted by the organisor's  of this, both to promote to the DeLorean community and looking for a couple of cars to be parked outside on opening night. 

From the 26th November, Vehicle owned by a chap called Andrea Sandrone who is a massive BTTF fan and collector.

Great Scott! The largest collection of Back To The Future memorabilia in Europe is in London for the first time ever! If our calculations are correct, over 70 items used by the cast and crew throughout the production of the trilogy will be on display: you’ll find hoverboards, costumes, set pieces, concept drawings… not to mention a certified replica of the DeLorean Time Machine previously owned by Universal Studios! You’ll also get the chance to learn making-of secrets thanks to multimedia content and interviews with the cast. You won’t need a pair of Nike sneakers to put yourself in Marty McFly’s shoes: there will be plenty of photo opportunities to help you relive some of the saga’s most exciting moments. Power up that flux capacitor and get your tickets for the Back In Time Exhibition in London!

Hi guys, been off this forum and the car for a while. 
Gonna try and be more active this time around!

The car smells of old fuel a bit, especially the rear, just in front of the charcoal cannister (i was checking for a loose hose) i saw a part ive never noticed before. It has 1, possibly 2 fuel hoses going to it. You can only see it with the charcoal can removed, looking into the pontoon. 


What is it ?


Hopefully someone can also help with this, i have a digital door module and remote kit semi fitted, but have no instructions. The digi controller is from delorean.com and has “delorean lock module rev.3.5” on the circuit board, and 2 red 2 green led’s. On the case is “3651-16”. 

Theres also a remote controller board and some relays. The remote has  4 buttons, lock, unlock, trunk, and a yellow lights button. 

I cant find a pdf / anything about how to wire it up etc. its been sat in storage for a while. 
Help please!

Im loving that now the cars 40, no tax no mot, i just insured it very cheap with the post office lol.

2 cars going through the Silverstone Auctions at the NEC Classic Car Show this year:

https://www.silverstoneauctions.com/sa08...ean-dmc-12
& this dodgy looking one   https://www.silverstoneauctions.com/sa08...n=1&pp=100

Both well loved cars that have been in the UK for a long time.

Looking for a good condition exhaust muffler.
Mine has collapsed inside and I don't have the funds to get a SS exhaust at the moment.
With or without exhaust tips it doesn't matter.
