  How much road?
Posted by: Teg - 28 Dec 2006, 00:38 - Forum: Off topic talk, general chat etc - Replies (18)

I just was curious to find out, how much road a standard DeLorean does need to get up to 88 mph.

Yeah, you've guessed it I've been watching the showing of BTTF on ITV1 this afternoon :S

Would be interesting to know.

  Window moters
Posted by: Dan Howarth - 24 Dec 2006, 18:33 - Forum: 8 - Frame / Body / Interior - Replies (3)

Hi all Just looked at Delorean europe site and he has some window moters for 30 bucks each. Is that right. Am i reading it correctly. If so why are they so expensive everywhere else. Also does anyone know where i can buy a scotch birght pad from or what ever it is you can use to tart up stainles because when i smoke i go sit in the garage and i thought it might be something i could do for the 5 minutes or so. After a month i might have done the whole car.

  Front Wheel Bearing
Posted by: NickT - 24 Dec 2006, 16:35 - Forum: DeLorean Cars or Parts For Sale or Wanted - No Replies

I have a front wheel bearing for sale. Brand new in box.

I didn't need it as when I examined the hub it was wonky. I bought a new one from Ed Uding with the bearing already pressed in.

Offers or swap for something.

Regards,

NickT.

  BTTF 1 Original Motion Picture Score
Posted by: Emagine - 22 Dec 2006, 18:05 - Forum: Off topic talk, general chat etc - Replies (6)

Hi All,

Ok bit of a trivia question really. A friend of mine bought me the "Back to the Future" Original Motion Picture Score for Christmas.

He told me it is extremely rare, apparently only 500 were printed for promotional use. As he works in the music industry I kinda believe him.

I've done a quick google search and found that they never released the original films score but that a bootleg version was floating about from "Delorean Records"

My CD is from "Universal City Studio's"
courtesy of "Universal Studios Publishing Rights"
Manufactured by "Movie Music Records"
And has a different track listing from the bootleg version.

Has anyone else got any information that would be useful? Could it be true that this is quite a rare find?

Cheers.... and Merry Christmas to one and all!

  Understanding engineers :)
Posted by: Guinney1971 - 22 Dec 2006, 11:17 - Forum: Off topic talk, general chat etc - No Replies

My boss emailed me this today - thought I'd share it with you all Big Grin


Subject: Understanding engineers

Engineers - Take One

Two engineering students were walking across a university campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?"

The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want." The second engineer nodded approvingly and said, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fitted you anyway."

Understanding Engineers - Take Two

To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Understanding Engineers - Take Three

A priest, a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, "What's with those blokes? We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes!"
The doctor chimed in, "I don't know, but I've never seen such inept golf!"
The priest said, "Here comes the greens keeper. Let's have a word with him."
He said, "Hello, George! what's wrong with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow, aren't they?"
The greens keeper replied, "Oh, yes. That's a group of blind fire fighters.
They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime." The group fell silent for a moment.
The priest said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight."
The doctor said, "Good idea. I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist colleague and see if there's anything he can do for them."
The engineer said, "Why can't they play at night?"

Understanding Engineers - Take Four

What is the difference between mechanical engineers and civil engineers?
Mechanical engineers build weapons and civil engineers build targets.

Understanding Engineers - Take Five

The graduate with a science degree asks, "Why does it work?"
The graduate with an engineering degree asks, "How does it work?"
The graduate with an accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?"
The graduate with an arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?"

Understanding Engineers - Take Six

Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.

Understanding Engineers - Take Seven

An engineer was crossing a road one day, when a frog called out to him and said," If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.
The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week." The engineer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a Princess, I'll stay with you for one week and do ANYTHING you want."
Again, the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, and that I'll stay with you for one week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?" The engineer said, "Look, I'm an engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that's cool."


Merry Christmas everyone! Big Grin
