Hi all;

For those that know me, this won't be a surprise. For those that don't - well, I have a somewhat obsessive fetish for V8s. My dream has always been an LS, or Rover V8 powered DeLorean - but you know, it's easier said that done.

In any case, when the DeLorean arrived, I was already saving for a new car. The D is and was always going to be long term, and purposely sidelined so I didn't spend my savings on it. That might now be the aim, but this was ordered back in February, and I just picked it up.

So, love or hate, here's my new 5.0:

Anyone else watching this Channel 5 tosh. Brushed Aluminium!  
Doors not correctly designed.... :  I haven't laughed so much in ages!

At least Quentin "Lowest ever score on Strictly"  Willson appeared to think twice 
about having a pop about the D'. But still did in the end.

What on earth did they do to apparently break the car they tested?

Yes, in 2008, I bought one of these....

And yes, they did another run of these, but not numbered 1-1000 as mine is. 

Joking aside, is this realistically going to fetch this kind of money? I think I paid about £223 for it delivered from Amazon, the only UK supplier at the time.

DMC Houston have opened a Pre-Order 'interest form' on their website for people who would like a New one.

I wonder if any will come to the UK. Hopefully Top Gear or the likes will get one on their show...
Just like the modernised Jaguar e-type or Jensen Interceptor that have been on before.

I am trying to change the interior lights to led.  Front one is no problem.  Rear one has the problem of the delay module, featured in previous posts, I know.  I understand the delay circuit is a mystery and I presume the led doesn't draw enough power to activate the circuit completely so remains partially lit through leakage when the door is shut.  I tried a 47R resistor in parallel with the lamp and it now dims out nicely BUT there is still a voltage of about 20mV across the resistor.  I calculate this would drain the battery in about 3000 hours (4 months): not a great problem in reality but to my mind not a perfect solution.  I could use a lower value resistor but that seems to defeat the object of using the leds.  Has anyone sussed a work around?  The delay and dimming is a nice feature.  My only thought is that I could remove the module and jumper across to the line which connects to the front light so that the rear light simply goes out as soon as the door is closed as does the front one.

Incidentally, my rear light is not the double ended festoon type, but one that takes a bayonet car sidelight bulb 10Watt (no less!) and the led replacement came all the way from China (in a plastic bag, in bubble wrap, with a customs declaration - for £1.50.  How do they do it??).  It's the wrong polarity but with a couple of bits of wire, a soldering iron and a sense of humour I can get round that.

Also, I read about the two door switches on the driver's side.  One seems to work the front interior light and one the rear light.  Possibly it was all rewired when the rhd conversion was done, and that's why the seat belt buzzer kept going off randomly and had to be excised.

Hi all,
 
in the next couple of weeks, I'll be compiling the 2017 DOC-UK calendar, if you've got an epic DeLorean photo, please email it
to me :  treasurer@deloreans.co.uk 

I've got a few photos, but need about half a dozen more.  BTW, going on previous sales, all 2017 calendars will be wall calendars, as
they sell quicker then the desk ones.  If there's enough demand for desk ones, I will order some, but they may come out at the same
price as wall ones, as they get cheaper the more you order.

Ta muchly!
