de Lorean or Back to the Future - OT

[simon-york]

Dear All

I have just been out to grab a sandwich here in York, England and been passed by one of, I suspect, the rarest cars in this country - a de Lorean. For those of you who were not around when they were being built in Northern Ireland, the gull winged, stainless steel car featured in 'Back to the Future'.

I do not know how many were produced, but if you consider I have probably seen half a dozen pre-war 6 litre Bentleys on the UK roads and even a steam car, this is the first de Lorean - and I expect the last. Just think - no rust, ever!

Anyone else seen one in the States maybe?

One of my favorite posters was a delorean stuck in a snow back with the doors flung open, on the ass end of the car was a bumper sticker that read - "Things go better with Coke"

How about washing the car with Brillo?

I have an ancient Delorian tee shirt that I have been saving for a million years, maybe Ebay time for it?

Wow... that's so cool... because like Winfred said... the engine was a POS... alot of things keep breaking. A friend owned one. Cost dearly to fix too.
