It would be great to see you reunited with AXI 1698 Chris.

I vividly remember going for a very 'spirited' ride in AXI 1698 along the lanes of Allestree probably 12 -14 years ago. I never knew an automatic DeLorean could move so fast!

[Chris P]

Those are my thoughts Phil…..although they say you should never "go back"…. how can I resist if I have Time Machine to do it in?

And I still have my Doc Brown "Duplication Machine"…. So I can knock a load more out for anyone else……….

[Chris P]

Mind you I'm about as good at "driving" my duplication machine as I am my computer…hopeless...

I distinctly instructed it to "change" the rear lights, expecting proper US style ones….all it did was to turn them inside down!

Er doesn''t Barmouth Car = Flashy to answer the earlier question ?

Yes mate I was being ironic probably only worked for me and ChrisP :wink:
Chris

[Chris P]

Nothing wrong with a bit of irony Chris.

BTW AXI deal done, it may even be in Dorset along with Flashy, which is now definitely for sale.

[Guinney1971]

is that 'DeLores' that you've bought back? Be great to see her again.

Sad that you've got to sell Flashy though, its not like you not to have at
least 2 RHD's in your collection

[Chris P]

Yes Claire it is Delores, my very first Delorean . I only sold it 9 years ago because this rich fella offered me a 'daft' amount of money for it.( and I'd got Dusty). Now after 9 years of ownership and only 850 miles....I've gone and given him a good profit !
I must be loosing my touch!
I am collecting it whilst at Dorset, as it's only down the road..... Might need a volunteer driver to get them both home..... If Flashy doesn't sell.

[Guinney1971]

I think you need to lease Flashy to Mike

[Chris P]

I'd love to be able to, but i'm afraid there is a limit to how much cash I can have tied up in my cars. I am retired you know!!

[Guinney1971]

and married to Mrs Parnham

[Chris P]

Mrs P has been very tolerant of her Husbands mad-cap ideas over the last 45 years! Not many 20 year olds would spend time in an old rented pigsty whilst her boyfriend fiddles around re-building a 1931 car.
Countless cars later…and two boats…and 6 houses, she still supports me in my efforts. Only yesterday we were ploughing through the mud at the Belper Steam Rally, talking to Richard Hutch.

i'm not complaining……..in fact i'm a very luck boy!

[Chris P]

looking at the photos again…perhaps it wasn't a brilliant idea to have the auxiliary fuel tank, tied to the light bulb!

lol, well you said it with the 'madcap' ideas.

seriously though, you and Mrs P are awesome, and I feel privileged to call you both friends, and have you as our
eldests' godparents

Keep up the madcapness Chrispy, we wouldnt have you any other way
