Okay, I'm just throwing this out for ideas at the moment, as I think we can safely say that due to CV19, 2020 will be a write off as far as car shows are concerned - I was talking to Chris W earlier, and we are not even sure if the NEC will go ahead in November the way things are.

Anyway, whilst I know that Eurofest is on in May 2021, celebrating 40yrs of the DMC, and it is a big event, 2021 also sees the 25th anniversary of the DOC-UK.

I appreciate many on here will be going to Eurofest, and I don't blame you (I went in 2001 and 2006 and it was amazing), and the cost of doing 2 events in one year may be stretching the finances somewhat, especially after a turbulent and uncertain 2020, but after speaking to Chris we'd like to look into the possibility of having a weekend event later in the year, maybe September, to celebrate our own anniversary in addition to that of the car itself.  Plus give people who didn't go to Eurofest a chance to still have a DeLorean weekend with friends old and new.

With that in mind, do people have any preferences on locations and what we'd like to do?  In previous years we've been to Dorset, North Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Norfolk, Buckinghamshire/Northamptonshire and Denbighshire.  Does anyone want to revisit these locations, or go somewhere new?

For instance, we could do a weekend in Warwickshire around Gaydon and maybe another attraction in the area, or have a scenic drive in the Stratford upon Avon area.  Or we could head down to Somerset and go to the Haynes Motor Museum at Sparkford (Yeovil) and another attraction.  Or we could go somewhere like Jodrell Bank and see if it fits in with an event at nearby Tatton Park.

I'm open to suggestions.  I try to find hotels with decent parking that don't cost a fortune.  Last time we stayed at The Green Man at Brackley near Silverstone, which had lovely food, a big carpark and an attached Premier Inn.  There's often the opportunity for a bit of a 'tech sesh' over the weekend too, usually on a Saturday late afternoon after we've got back from that days activities.   We also run a 'Peoples Choice' competition where you can vote for the car you think is the best, and the winning owner will receive an engraved trophy.

If I can get some feedback, then I can start looking into venues, hotels, etc.  Sometimes, if I can guarantee a minimum number of rooms, I can get a deal on a hotel.  I managed this with Ravenhall Hotel in 2013 when we stayed at Robin Hood Bay in North Yorkshire.

Being an anniversary event, we'll lay on some special extras for members to commemorate it.

Hey, I might even have #2292 back on the road lol

Hi folks, does anybody know off the top what the brake pipe thread spec is please?

I'm trying to fit the new Goodridge brake flexis
   
I bought at the NEC but the large nuts which supposedly fit into the hexagonal recesses on the frame
   
are too big by quite a lot - like 17mm AF instead of 15mm
   
or thereabouts. It's the same all round and on the trailing arms too.

How have people managed to get these to fit? And or where did people track down the correct size nuts?

I know nobody said this would be easy, but I do think this bit would be straight forward!!

Thanks all, Rich

Hi there, I’m new to the club. Hoping to buy a Delorean later this year if the right one is out there. Have been enjoying the magazine and will look forward to meeting some of you at some point when things return to normal. Cheers, Dave

Our Hi everyone, Having been away from the owners club for a number of years after selling my 81 in 2010 I have just rejoined. What are the chances of finding a UK car on as a rolling project these days or should I be looking at the USA?  Am I correct in thinking that VAT and import duty is now only a one off 5% fee of the purchase price if importing from the states if using a BTI?
Thanks, Dave

I have just posted mag 86, so with any luck will be with everyone by the weekend. Post is a bit slow at the moment but hopefully will arrive towards the weekend. I know Matt is working on the next one already, but we are getting short on articles. The more we get the quicker we can get them out.

Hi folks, can anybody help me identify the part number or a cross reference to these pipe clips please? This one attaches the steel pipe running from the fuel accumulator to the fuel filter, to the LHS of the frame. I can't seem to find them. Thank you brethren and sistren!

Nothing to do with me but a cheaper option: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/0438100109-De...SwuhZehB9V
or https://k-jet.biz/ same company but not an eBay link, 'MAY' be more helpful to owners on the other side of the world but certainly another option for K-Jet users. About half the price of the UK's specialist's https://www.kmipetrolinjection.co.uk/
I have no info as to how good (or bad) these are but the eBay feedback is very good.

Managed to grab this off eBay. 

Cost me more to frame than it cost but quite pleased with the result. 

Its an architectural drawing showing conduits and power to one of the training facilities which looks like its next to the factory. 

Hi folks, had to replace the two bolts that hold the TAB retaining plates in as mine are very rusty. These are 10.9 grade, i.e very high strength, and as it turns out not very commonly available in M8 Hex head x30mm, standard pitch.

Anyway a bit of searching has yielded Rover/ Land Rover bolts to FT108301 (various applications) as being a match, in yellow zinc, the only difference being flanged heads. I've found them for £1.70 a pair delivered!
