hi
must admit, i am a traditionalist, but if we were all the same life would be boring.
Welcome here and to Delorean ownership!

If you haven't done so already ensure the car is insured so that if between landing at the docks and be collected by you if it is 'de-blinged' by some light fingered opportunist(s) then at least you will have the funds back to re-bling it again.

Good advice thanks Chris.
Will do

Just a small update on my car,
the seller has contacted his local press, apparently the car is a bit of a celebrity in his area of Monmouth Illinois
he has laid out the trophies that the car has won

Hi Allen,
That's some impressive history your cars got.
I like the blinged rear end, did the previous owner do any engine modifications while he was at it?

Hi Stu
no I dont think so. other than re-routing cables and adding silicon hoses, the only thing he did was have it powder coated,
Im not sure if ill mess about with the performance to much either,other than to get rid of the cat, im a snail driver anyway, I'll concentrate on the interior, maybe a digital dash and a few gadgets and gizmos. like the self opening doors and boot and bonnet etc,

Sounds good, I've been thinking of getting the wings-aloft kit for my car but I've not got around to it.
How are you getting the car back? Is it arriving at Southampton?
- Dodgy Motor - 06 Nov 2007
No its Thames port..wherever that is..over the east coast somewhere.
as to driving it
Not sure yet, depends on the weather at the time, I can borrow a friends car trailor and drag it with the hilux , if the weather is ok i mightdrive it, but you cant carry many tools on a train,so if the battery is flat im knackered :roll:

lol... best find out where before Friday eh
Good idea on the trailering it home too... or do you have breakdown insurance that might come in handy if you are considering driving it .
- Stuart Rees - 06 Nov 2007
Thats a fair way to drive a D you've never seen before. You could have it delivered, but that means more money :?
If you need any assistance any time give me a shout.

Well I do have B/D cover, I worked for them long enough,they owe it to me :x
But I wanted to take the car to Southampton first, show my kids,and then trundle may way back here,
so to play it safe,,and at half the fuel cost, lol ,Ill probably use the Hilux
you can't beat Japanese reliability
unless you have a big stick :wink:
- Dodgy Motor - 06 Nov 2007
Thanks Stu, same goes here BTW, I dont know everything but I know enough never to have to walk home
- TheOriginalMrP - 06 Nov 2007

You guys tell me when you are ready for a mini meet at like a midway place for all of us..... Just because it aint summer dont mean we cant play! And it looks like i'm going to have to win a fair amount of gold to catch up with you allen!
