  Minehead DeLorean photo op
Posted by: Rissy - 15 Aug 2023, 11:40 - Forum: Off topic talk, general chat etc - Replies (7)

I’ll apologise now if this one has already been hit, but I’m in Minehead right now and after playing some slots in the beach front arcade, instead of looking down all the time, I looked up.  Low and behold I saw this right above my head!

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this.  The car? The owner?  When it was taken?

  London ULEZ charging
Posted by: Rissy - 04 Aug 2023, 12:31 - Forum: Off topic talk, general chat etc - Replies (4)

I got into a conversation with colleagues at work about the new London ULEZ expansion, and we all started checking the status of our cars against their rules.

This is the webpage to do this:

https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/check-your-vehicle/

I'm OK for my "ordinary" vehicles, but it seems that they want £12.50 a day from me for Lex on top of the congestion charge, despite it being registered as a historic vehicle for over a year now.

Anyone else get the same result?

It's all very well and good them stating it, but if their tools don't pick up on it, then how are you supposed to "plan your journey" efficiently....?

  No 6 Exhaust valve issue ouch!
Posted by: Darrere - 30 Jul 2023, 18:38 - Forum: 1 - Engine - Replies (1)

Well I finally got chance to remove my RH A/C side 4,5,6 cylinder head to inspect for damage after the auto box failed to kick down from 2nd to 1st causing the engine to over rev.

Not a pretty sight at all! Replacement cylinder head required!

Thank you Chris for the support tool.

This valves facing the wrong way!

   

Valve insert and lip missing 25%

Join us on Sunday 24th September for the inaugural Stonor Park Autumn Meeting in association with Charles Stanley — a celebration of motoring excellence featuring an exclusive display of automotive stars from historic racers to unique classics, sports cars and supercars, brought to you by leading vehicle event organiser, Classic Shows.

The pre-1980s classic car section will showcase some of the best vintage cars, with other classics and supercars displayed across Stonor’s grounds. Notable car clubs including Aston Martin are also exhibiting, welcoming new members and imparting their specialist knowledge.

Expect to see further vehicles in the pre-1970’s Classics and Sports Club sections located throughout the wider Stonor Park grounds. Commentators will interview vehicle owners and work with the judging team to identify the winners of a range of categories culminating in the Best Classic, Best Sports and Best Supercar awards.


All visitors and exhibitors will also have full access to Stonor Park, its formal gardens and Tumblestone Hollow included in their ticket price.


The event takes place from 10am – 5pm on Sunday 24th September.


The limited early bird tickets are available until later in the summer, costing £12.50 for children (2 – 15 years) and £18 for adults. Under 2s and carers enter for free. Demand is high, so visitors are encouraged to book early to avoid disappointment.

  NEC Classic Car Show 2023 11-13 Nov 2023 & AGM
Posted by: Chris Williams - 13 Jul 2023, 21:33 - Forum: DOC National Events, Car shows, AGM's and others - Replies (30)

It's got to that time of the year (again) where the organizers of the above event have confirmed stands for this years show. As ever I'm looking for people to very kindly volunteer to display cars/help with the stand Etc. 
I know a few ideas were batted around last year regarding displaying historical items but logistics as ever seems to be the issue. It is a big commitment but as those who attend can vouch we are incredibly well received bu the public who love to visit the stand and cars.
Any suggestions are more than welcome
Chris
AGM Will be at 3.30 on Sunday 13th November, meet at club stand

  Mini meet & tech sesh, Notts, Sat 15th July
Posted by: Guinney1971 - 09 Jul 2023, 20:41 - Forum: Midlands - Replies (1)

Hi all,

if anyone is interested in a 'mini meet' and tech sesh at our house in Nottinghamshire
next Saturday, then drop me a DM.

John Kennedy who owns DWU140W is driving down to see us (sans DeLorean) next Saturday,
and he'd love to meet some more owners and chat all things DeLorean.  I think so far we've got
Andy Westerman, Chris McGeachy and Rich Hanlon joining us, and possibly a new owner from 
Matlock, but if anyone else wants to join us with our without a DeLorean, then the more the merrier!

If the weather is nice, I'll fire the bbq up too (if its not, I'll do pizzas, chips, nuggets, etc).

As I said, we're in Nottinghamshire, about 5 miles from J27 of the M1.  We've got a fairly decent driveway,
but space will be limited, so I might put my car out on the road to make more space.  Phill has a few jobs
to do on Sorbet, so a tinker session is definitely in order!

Big Grin BTTF Delorean in Shrewsbury

Hi all 

I'm looking to hire a BTTF Delorean for a comic con in Shrewsbury next April (April 2024). Is there anyone local (or local-ish!) who can give me a quote?

Many thanks Smile

Hi All, 

some of you may know via Facebook, that sadly Tris passed away earlier this week 
after a long battle with illness.

Our thoughts are with his wife Joanne and his daughter Megan, and all his family and 
friends at this sad time.

His DeLorean 'TCZ' has recently gone to a new owner near Mansfield, and remains in 
the DOC-UK family.  Ironically, Tris driving TCZ is the Club calendar picture for this month.

A full tribute to Tris will be in the next issue of DeLorean News, which should be out 
within the next few weeks.

RIP mate
