Hey Guys and Girls!
I've been floating around on this forum every now and then over the last few years as I had every intention of buying a DeLorean.
However, being a little bit of a 'power-freak', everytime the money was available I spent it on a perfomance car, currently owning a 57' Audi S3 which is my pride and joy. :twisted:
Recently, I have been tempted back into the world of DeLorean again and this time I'm not giving up until I find a car I like!
Hopefully I'll be popping over to PJ Grady next weekend to have a chat with the guys and see what they can do to help. Ideally, I'm after a 81' or 82' Manual, with Grey Interior and sans Gas Flap. Although I'll consider any car that is in nice condition.
Anyway, thought I should say 'Hi!' to all as I have every intention of becoming part of the dream. 8)

Hi mate, welcome to DOC-UK
PJ Grady are your best bet for sourcing a car to your requirements - actually,
they've got a car in a the moment belonging to tc ozzie on this forum that
might be up your street - also, this was the car used in the 'Ticket Outta Looserville'

I've seen the car myself, and its really nice

Cheers guys, thanks for the warm welcome!
Recieved an e-mail from Jenny at PJ Grady today and she mentioned that they have a 81' manual in at the moment.
I'm going to pop down on Saturday to have a look and hopefully it'll be right up my street!

I'm situated in Potters Bar, but currently looking to move closer into London as it would be easier for traveling to work.
The only problem with that is the fact that I have a twin garage at the moment which is ideal, and a property in London that could accomodate two cars off-street would be £,£££,£££'s
In fact, one of my good friends has literally just moved to Stevenage Old Town, it's a very nice area around there!

haha, its about the only bit that is!! I escaped in March 2006, and havent
looked back - and I lived in one of the nicer bits of town
Most of the place is Chav Central now tbh - its not the town I grew up in
anymore, and a place I was once proud of
Anyway, we digress :wink:
Good luck getting a car!
