Hi all,

as we've missed out on a Club meet this year, would we like to do something in 2023?

This year, we were invited back to Silverstone, but it was in late August, clashed with other
events and peoples holidays (including mine), and the upshot was, nothing got organised by
anybody.

In 2010, we had our first 'Lets Rotate the Club Event Round the Country' meet, in response to
many members, who whilst they enjoyed the yearly Norfolk based event, fancied a change of
scenery and also, for those 'oop north' or in the West, somewhere easier and closer to get to.

So, in 2010, we were based near Chirk on  the England/Wales border.  It was very well attended, 
including cars from Holland brought by Mart and Daisy (who were on honeymoon) and Welmoed
Jonker in his black car DeLorean.

We had a scenic drive up the Horseshoe Pass to the Ponderosa Cafe, and also took in a boat ride
on the Llangollen Canal.  Other local attractions included Chirk Castle and I think a local steam railway.

A few of us also ended up in a music video being filmed at a transport cafe at the petrol station near
the hotel.  Look up 'Rock off and Die' by Dangerous Dave on You Tube, and you'll see 4 DeLoreans at 
the end - mine was the fastest lol.

So, my question to you, the membership, is would a revisit to this area be of interest?  The Hotel, the
Lord Moreton was comfortable and reasonable, with a good carpark and attached restaurant.

I'm thinking September next year, probably around the weekend of 9-10th?  That way, school holidays
are over, and it should be quieter in the 'touristy' areas.

Hello all,

As some of you know I've done a small amount of gliding as a pastime and even briefly made it to solo flying this year, having completed the first stage of training.  For various reasons I haven't been since June, and in the winter it can be a bit hit and miss as it is obviously strongly weather-related!

However I have been wondering about trying to arrange a DOC weekend at the Gliding Centre which is the one I had been going to, based in Husbands Bosworth near Lutterworth.

The Gliding Centre | One of the UKs leading Gliding Clubs

I do know they occasionally host various clubs and have basic accommodation, a cafe/ restaurant doing breakfast, lunch and evening meals, and bar on the airfield, plus camping pitches with electric hookup.  Hopefully weather depending (again, obviously) there would be the chance to take a number of trial flights on the Saturday.  Depending on the conditions these can either be winch-launched or towed by a light aircraft, which means a higher release and more opportunity to find thermals.

I had been thinking Late April or May next year on a non-bank holiday weekend (as these weekends are typically busy with gliding club members) and can therefore be difficult to get flights in.

Anyway, if there is a quorum of members with an interest I shall go ahead and make enquiries.  Just a conceptual idea at the moment, which a tentative phone call has indicated is theoretically possible. 

I don't know what they might offer in terms of costs or accommodation fees but the 'book price' is usually about £10 for camping, £20 for a room, some static caravans etc, and trial flights are about £60 for a winch.

If you fancy it, reply here, and I'll see if we can muster the numbers; then I would have to approach them to try to arrange a date and some better cost estimates.

I know we've probably left it too late to book anywhere, but is there
any interest in a Midlands Area Xmas meet up this year?  I know costs
for many people have meant a squeeze on household budgets, with 
rising mortgages, bills, food prices, etc - we've certainly felt it here and 
are having to cut back on expenditure.

Do we have a preference on location?  Last years venue in Clay Cross near
Chesterfield is no longer a 'Big Jims' steak house.  In previous years, we've 
been to the 50's Diner near Swadlincote just south of Derby.  Or do you fancy
somewhere new?  

If people can hit me with some ideas, and a preference for location, then I'll 
make some enquiries and see what is available.

Been contacted by the organisor's  of this, both to promote to the DeLorean community and looking for a couple of cars to be parked outside on opening night. 

From the 26th November, Vehicle owned by a chap called Andrea Sandrone who is a massive BTTF fan and collector.

Great Scott! The largest collection of Back To The Future memorabilia in Europe is in London for the first time ever! If our calculations are correct, over 70 items used by the cast and crew throughout the production of the trilogy will be on display: you’ll find hoverboards, costumes, set pieces, concept drawings… not to mention a certified replica of the DeLorean Time Machine previously owned by Universal Studios! You’ll also get the chance to learn making-of secrets thanks to multimedia content and interviews with the cast. You won’t need a pair of Nike sneakers to put yourself in Marty McFly’s shoes: there will be plenty of photo opportunities to help you relive some of the saga’s most exciting moments. Power up that flux capacitor and get your tickets for the Back In Time Exhibition in London!

Hi guys, been off this forum and the car for a while. 
Gonna try and be more active this time around!

The car smells of old fuel a bit, especially the rear, just in front of the charcoal cannister (i was checking for a loose hose) i saw a part ive never noticed before. It has 1, possibly 2 fuel hoses going to it. You can only see it with the charcoal can removed, looking into the pontoon. 


What is it ?


Hopefully someone can also help with this, i have a digital door module and remote kit semi fitted, but have no instructions. The digi controller is from delorean.com and has “delorean lock module rev.3.5” on the circuit board, and 2 red 2 green led’s. On the case is “3651-16”. 

Theres also a remote controller board and some relays. The remote has  4 buttons, lock, unlock, trunk, and a yellow lights button. 

I cant find a pdf / anything about how to wire it up etc. its been sat in storage for a while. 
Help please!

Im loving that now the cars 40, no tax no mot, i just insured it very cheap with the post office lol.

2 cars going through the Silverstone Auctions at the NEC Classic Car Show this year:

& this dodgy looking one   https://www.silverstoneauctions.com/sa08...n=1&pp=100

Both well loved cars that have been in the UK for a long time.

Looking for a good condition exhaust muffler.
Mine has collapsed inside and I don't have the funds to get a SS exhaust at the moment.
With or without exhaust tips it doesn't matter.

Hi all

Aware that I might as well put an ad out for rocking horse poop but I am in the market for a pleated hood (no flap) to make 4267 right again.

Have spoken to Ed who doesn't have any. Moderately willing to travel to Europe to collect, but with the sterling in the bin AND the increase in shipping costs I'm not too keen to import from the US unless there's really no other option.

Cheers all,

M

Hi all.

I'm trying to find a Delorean that was in the UK back in 1996. A car dealership in Cornwall allowed the owner to store it on the roof top. It had still had US Florida plates on so possibly imported that year? Don't remember seeing any damage and it looked clean inside.  
Can anyone help?

Licence plate: HKT 660

A few images of my car, been a bit of a lurker for a year, had the car about a year. 
Really been looking for a RHD which would be my preference, purely for uniqueness. Looked at some, but still looking.

Since my ownership, I have had it re grained by Chris N, dashboard recovered in original vinyl. Steering, auto gearbox, mechanical, suspension all put back to how it should be.

Big question, am I a fan of the car, eeerrrrrrmmmmmm, to be honest, it drives Ok but no more, probably attracts too much attention for my liking but there is definately something about them
