Hey all.
A bit delayed in my input here since our event, been really busy getting myself back to Korea. So, i'm here now, and having trouble sleeping, so got some time at last! lol!
I just wanted to say that last weekend was awesome! Clare and I really enjoyed ourselves. I think Clare is becoming more of an avid supporter now. She even bought herself (as well as me) a DOC club poloshirt from Mary! Now that's progress! lol!
It was brilliant seeing as many DMC's in one place like that. A first for me. Also, it was really good finally putting some faces to those names. I have a better appreciation of who i have been, and will continue to talk to about all things DeLorean related.
A big shout out to "The Two Dicks" and Welmoed from me for addressing my 2nd gear issue, and door/bonnet catch alignment, accordingly. It was much appreciated in both cases, and i think LEX has really benefited from the attention. Much smoother in all cases! 8)
Also, my attention has been put on some parts which seem to be missing from my car... An interesting challenge on top of all the other things LEX brings to me as a hobby car. :lol: (Martin, prepare for some more questions! lol!)
I managed to get LEX back to Edinburgh on the following Monday, and put her away nice and dry (after the torrential rain both on the way down the M6, AND the way back up - needless to say, i got wet in both cases, and discovered some more electrical anomolies due to the wet - LEX hates the rain! lol!) All in all, LEX covered 868 miles in 5 days, and has now an odometer reading of 28,054. (Was quite exciting passing through the 28K mark on my final approach to Edinburgh lol!)
My leaky radiator will have to wait until later in the year before i have a proper look, but since my return to Edinburgh, unexplainably, my water pump seems to have stopped leaking, at least for the timebeing!? Pressure related leak release in the radiator i suspect. So, roll on September for my return home for another holiday.
As for future events, i, and i think Clare (if not Clare, a friend called Kevin) will be most looking forward to Eurofest 2011 in Belfast. I'll be booking my time off for that sooner, rather than later. Should be awesome!
Finally, I took quite a few pics, and some video footage during the weekend, and plan to try and get these online as my time permits. I've never put video footage online before, so that will be a new experience for me. Paul, i think one of the vids i took at least, would be really cool to include in your edited version of the weekend you are putting together, as it has ALL our DMC's in it on top of the hill, all mentioned by licence plate. Whether its of any use to you or not, i'll try and get that online especially.
