Hi all,
Yep that's me. I'm Mark and live in the Horsham area. I bought VIN 6042 from a nice bloke up north a couple of months ago. I'm still getting the feel for it, but love it so far. Can't believe how well it handles actually, although the accelerator is more of a noise generator than anything else! Two of our neighbours children became future DeLorean owners as soon as they saw the doors open, and I still go the garage and just, well, look at it.
Cheers!
Mark

lol, welcome to the forum Mark
There are plenty of options for increasing the power on a De, so that it goes as good as it sounds

Yes welcome Mark, as Claire says, they shouldn't feel slow after a few tweaks.
Not only do I still get a little thrill when I go in the garage…..every time I drive it, I get a rush of …well….pride of ownership,….even after 17 years, Its still the same feeling.
After a lifetime off Classic car ownership ( over 200 cars) I've never had that feeling in anything else.
