I picked up my new DeLorean from PJ Gradys two weeks ago and now I'm finally getting around to posting about it.
For those that don’t know Darren & Chris, let me tell you they are giants among men. What they have done in little over four months is truly astounding and I thank them.
The car its self is a pleasure to drive, far more than I was expecting. I'm getting used to the lack of power steering and reduced field of view. I getting used to the turning circle and the gearbox. I'm getting used to the Breaking and the onlookers. BUT the finger prints, oh my God the finder prints… I had read in the forums many times about finger prints and thought it slightly exaggerated. What do people be doing ? I stop into a shop and come out to paw marks on any exposed surface, it's flattering and maddening.
Since I started looking into buying a DeLorean almost 6 months ago I always had a little niggling fear of "Don't meet your heroes" I was worried that I have build it up in my head so much that when I actually received the car it wouldn’t be all I had hoped. I was wrong, the car is all I hoped and more. You get a great feeling that you are actually driving the car, making it go, being a vital part of the car. It's very satisfying as opposed the feeling in a modern car that you are the weakest link, only there to point it in the right direction while all the real driving is left to the cars computer.
Anyway this post turned out longer that I had expected. Here it what I really wanted to show you. The pictures!
Thanks again Darren & Chris!!
