Hi All,

After 6 months of massively overhauling my Delorean and drastically improving the accuracy of the Time Machine aspects, I am now pleased to say that it is available for hire in Essex, Kent, London and further afield (by consideration). I am available for any type of work including Weddings (chauffeur driven), TV/Film, Conventions and Charity.

We all know what features a time machine should have, but I will list them anyway:

• Working time circuits
  
• Flux capacitor that…..fluxes! 
  
• Digital Speedo with a ‘demo’ mode for hitting 88mph without getting a ticket!
  
• Time Circuits On Switch that brings everything to life with the turn of a handle.
  
• Status Identification Display (or SID) that can be programmed to scroll messages along its LED display
  
• Plutonium Gauges that can be placed in ‘empty’ mode with the correct warning lights and sounds.
  
• Mr Fusion that openes and makes the correct sounds.
  
• Interior smoke machine! Fill the car with smoke, open the doors and make everyone believe you have just been back to the future!
  
• Exterior CO2 discharge from the rear vents. Just like the movie, large plumes of high pressure smoke can be ejected from the rear vents!
  
• Actual SCREEN USED parts from a real time machine!
  
• Discreet signatures from cast on sun visors.

Tesla has unveiled its "Cybertruck" pickup truck, but not without an embarrassing moment on stage.
The truck's windows were smashed during a demonstration supposed to show how hard they were to break.
Mr Musk was heard to swear before joking: "Room for improvement."
The truck was unveiled in Hawthorne, California, where its stainless steel, angular design was greeted with cheers but also bemusement.
"People probably won’t get past the looks of it," said Jessica Caldwell, from vehicle marketplace Edmunds.
"It looks like a truck version of the DeLorean from Back To The Future."

For those who don’t know me, I have owned VIN#6126 (Grey-interior, Automatic) since about 2004 when I imported it from the USA (Columbus, Ohio) as a ‘fair to middling’ example. 

1.  1.  New rear tyres to replace crazed originals which wouldn’t hold air

1. 2.  This exposed the rusty rear springs which I thought I would remove to blast and paint

1. 3.  Damaged the tops of the very rusty original rear shock absorbers – two new ones added to the list

1. 4.  “That frame needs touching up here and there, now I can see it:  I’ll take the splash pans off to look further…”

1. 5.  Whoops – I’ve made a hole

1. 6.  Actually no, it’s several holes that run into the bits you can’t access with the body on the frame.

1. 7.  There’s nothing for it: off she comes.

1. 8.  I’ll have to replace ‘up and over’ the garage door for a roller shutter door, as there would be no room to open the door with the car lifted up in the air

1. 9.  Measure up for new door

1. 10.  Discover garage is lined in finest Asbestos

1. 11.  Empty garage completely down to the last nail

1. 12.  Have asbestos removed professionally by a proper outfit with men in colour-coded paper overalls with air-fed masks and a big blue polythene tent.  Local council informed.  Air quality test required. Hefty disposal charge incurred.

1. 13.  Recover from expense of (12), above14.  Insulate garage, re-board ceiling

1. 15.  Install more lighting and power sockets.  Can never have enough.

1. 16.  Paint floor in workshop red, paint walls and ceiling white “while you’re at it”.

1. 17.  Order, take delivery of, and fit Roller Door mentioned in (9) above, thanks again to Rich Hutchinson

1. 18.  Recover from expense of articles (14-17), inclusive.  Recycling old garage door (£15) helps, ever so slightly.

1. 19.  See (7).

   

I've put some photos from today on the Club's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/DeLorean-Owners...395051618/)

Unfortunately I can't put them on here, as the forum says the files are too large, so it won't let me upload them.

It was great to see so many friends old and new today, and kudos to those who did the whole 4 days - I'm shattered after just today!

If your interested in a full set of original DeLorean NCT Tyres an ex-owner/member has a set that you can have, He has given me his permission to post this on our forum:

>> I imported a DMC12 a few years ago, with 26,000 original miles.  I was a member of your club for the couple of years I owned the vehicle.
>>
>> The tyres were the original NCT’s fitted at the factory and in fine condition though very hard and not suitable for road use so I changed them and kept the originals.   For a concours enthusiast they would provide a great addition that would win points.
>>
>> It occurred to me that you might know of any dedicated concours/orignality junkies?   If they would like them they can have them in return for a suitable donation to your club.   Buyer collects.   First and foremost I would like the space!
>>
>> Best regards

Hi Folk,


I came across this the other day.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCwKEnu5xSk&t=2210s 

The first half is very interesting, I've hardly seen any detail about JZD's early life.....

..after that it is very inaccurate ....I coudn't watch all the last half, to be honest...I was shouting at the screen !

    Anyway....rant over, the first half is well worth watching ....IMO.

I've sourced and replaced this part only once and never identified what it actually is. On that occasion it was frozen solid to the hard line and had to be cut off. I sent off what I had and back came a new one.

Number 28

The hard line fittings on the car are all 8L - which is an M14x1.5 thread, and that's what you'll find up the fuel filter's bum too.

So why is it a taper thread? You don't get metric taper threads...! Nor do you get 17tpi imperial threads, which would be "close enough".

Or a better question might be: Why is it some mashed-in pipe fitting, and not a perfectly commonplace metric thread like the rest of the car? That would mean any fuel filter of this reference could be used, not just the ones with machine aluminium threads at the base.

Just when I thought DeLorean had thrown its last curveball....
