You CAN have your cake and eat it - ayr41 - 29 Mar 2014 Hi everyone, thought you may like to see these pictures, I was recently made redundant, I knew it was coming hence unfortunately the sale of my superb RHD Delorean. Last Sunday wife took me out and said we was going somewhere special, much to my surprise she had arranged a leaving do at the local Football club, I was given a super send off by the staff and one of the items given to me as they knew how much I loved the Delorean was this cake made by one of the staff's daughter, all from an old photo except the reg was from a Delorean I had some 10 years ago. I know it not 100% replicated but I thought she made a cracking job of it and it was so sad to cut it up. Re: You CAN have your cake and eat it - TheOriginalMrP - 30 Mar 2014 Hi. The cake is very good, seeing as it's hard to replicate. I'm sorry to hear about your redundancy mate. I was there just before Christmas in 2008, and I know the feeling well... I was determined however to make sure I didn't sell the DeLorean unless I had to. I'm glad I didn't. Despite the recession that was apparent at that time, I was only out of work for 5 weeks. Good luck with the future, and hope you can re live the dream soon! Re: You CAN have your cake and eat it - Chris Williams - 30 Mar 2014 That's nice touch (and cake) I do hope things work out for you soon. Chris Re: You CAN have your cake and eat it - Guinney1971 - 02 Apr 2014 really hope everything works out for you Stephen, and that you are living the dream again soon Re: You CAN have your cake and eat it - simid - 02 Apr 2014 Awesome cake!! Fingers crossed for you. It's getting really bad here in OZ, especially here in Melbourne. Re: You CAN have your cake and eat it - Starglider - 03 Apr 2014 Sorry to hear about the forced sale, nice to know someone cares enough to make that for you though. Re: You CAN have your cake and eat it - ayr41 - 03 Apr 2014 I think reality set in tonight when I had to fill in an application for a part time postie job, it took 2 hours for the application then over an hour for an on-line test, oh well got to keep trying. Thanks guys for your kind support, I live in hope of joining the D owners in the not to distant future, just have to make do with my Beetle for now, just found some brake fluid on the floor of the garage so it looks like another mucky job coming up. Re: You CAN have your cake and eat it - Chris P - 08 Apr 2014 Keep at it Stephen, something will turn up…..yes it was a hell of a car, especially after it left you. Good luck with the job hunting. Re: You CAN have your cake and eat it - ayr41 - 14 Apr 2014 Many thanks Chris
