over the last 11 months or so, its got increasingly quiet on this forum, and that is down
to the success of the WhatsApp group for Club Members.

This forum is still monitored, and member/non members can still post on here, but you
may find there is a delay in getting a response as less folks use this now, as WhatsApp is
more instant.

Think it looks way better, or is there a way of adding a switch to keep it road legal?

And where would the wires have been cut to keep the indicators only?

Thanks

The range of values on eBay seem to vary wildly, but they cost me average of £20 each.

Is anyone interested as I could bring to NEC or sell to club for resale… I’d have paid a premium at the NEC if I’d seen them before…

This is the webpage to do this:

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....?]]>

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]]>

Not DeLorean related, but my M3 has a new rear diff sat in the dining room needing to be swapped over with the original unit still on the car, and this thing weighs a lot so it's not reasonable for me to attempt to do it myself 12" off the ground.

I had a solution available to me, but quite frankly, the chap in hand has become quit obnoxious having something held over me and repeatedly keeps developing excuses for it not being possible to help me out and further demanding that the job be done within 3hrs because he needs constant access to his lift etc.  (He shouldn't have offered me in the first place!)  The end result is that it's been months and no progress what so ever and now my MOT is looming and I have no choice but to see how she performs at the MOT and try to get the job done AFTER its MOT (which I'm hoping doesn't result in me being grounded stuck in the garage requiring a flatbed to transport it anywhere!).

BMW wont touch me with a barge pole because I never bought the replacement diff from them, so if I can't do the job myself, I'll have no choice but to go to an ordinary garage to get the job done.  I'm reluctant on this as it was an ordinary garage who baulked the current one still on the car by messing up a simple oil seal change TWICE!

I'm currently about £2500 in the hole and that's still without the unit even being swapped over yet!]]>

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?

This is Tom Sullivan.
I am the manager of Red Baboon Studios, an all-new automotive photography and videography facility near Banbury.
 
We are currently in the process of developing more promotional material for our studio.
I am messaging as we would love to shoot a DeLorean at some point in the future.
 
Here is a look at our new website.
It is currently in development and only works on computer browser at present (mobile site coming soon)...
https://redbaboonstudios.com/Dev%20V2.0b/
 
The shoot would be completely free, and both us and you would have free use of any images/video captured.
We also have an on-site valet who could assist with cleaning the car.
 
If you or any member of the DeLorean owners club would be interested, please let me know.
 
All the best,
Tom
