Hi everyone ,
I'm surprised I have not signed up on this forum having been a new owner for the past 1&1/2 years!
I'm also a member on the other UK forum, so what is the difference between them both?
Oh, I'm from Melbourne, Australia. As far down south on the planet. :lol:

This is the origional one in the UK, and the other has been around for about three years. other than recent content they just copied the content of this forum to start with. However most DeLorean owners be it in the UK or worldwide are registered with both, as we all are with most other DeLorean forums it's all about sharing info at the end of the day. However we are not just a forum we are a proper club that produces a quality A4 magazine and with DMCH magazine folding recently we have seen an increse in membership as it does seem to still be the case that people do want magazines to read as well as the good old internet!

Thanks for the clarification Chris. Looks like I will just have to visit both forums regularly. :wink:
Most of the time I'm on the dmctalk.org, but it's looks like some owners/members are quite bitter which spoils the experience over there.

That's what I do too, Simon. Oddly, this one has gotten more active recently, while the other one has gotten quieter.
For the trifecta, check out the DOI - delorean.ie (DeLorean Owners of Ireland)

Not a problem, as I wrote most (including myself and everyone I know) visit all the different forums for info/x-refs etc. Some times a bit of info pops up on one and not another.

Thanks Claire!
We think there might be roughly 50ish Deloreans around the whole of AUS, but it's hard to track them all down. But the word does get around when one does appear and we try and grab the VIN if possible. :lol: But so far, I think Queensland has the most Deloreans in that state.

Thanks Chris, I have noticed this as well, so I'll have plenty to read and get to know who's who. I think I have most people as friends on FB now. Just gotta put them to the Nicks on all the forums.

Just touching base, still alive and kicking. Still got the D for those who don;t know me.
Haven't been on any of the Delorean forums for over 8 months, so I'm pulling my finger out and getting back on them again, .... starting here!
