			<description><![CDATA[Hello, I’m a new(ish) DOC member - I’ve actually been a member for a while, and have followed the forum for even longer than that, but after lots of life events getting in the way I’m hoping I might soon have more time to indulge my passion for the DMC-12.<br />
<br />
I am lucky enough to own an ‘83 registered/grey/manual, which was imported in 2019 from DMC Midwest and then restored and converted to RHD by Chris Nicholson.  I haven't had that many opportunities to use the car since it was finished, but I’m hoping to get out to a club event at some point this year to say hello in person.<br />
<br />
Best wishes!<br />

<br />
After many years of wanting one I finally bought my first a Delorean (quickly followed by my second, long story!). Anyway, got it from DMC Midwest back in the summer on 2021. Chris N did a bunch of work on her and she arrived early December. Just waiting for better weather to take her out. <br />
<br />
Looking forward to meeting folks in the future!<br />

<br />
Just wanted to say hello as a newbee to the DeLorean clan.<br />
<br />
My new old baby should be winging it's way over the big pond in the next few month's and already I can't wait.<br />
<br />
Lot's of new things to learn lots to read and discover about about my new addition.<br />
<br />
It's been awhile since I had a car in the garage and I'm busy making plans for a few road trips.<br />

Hope to meet up with some owners in the near future.<br />

<br />
Thought I would sign up and check the site out after talking to a few of you on Mondays meeting in Belper. <br />
<br />
Really enjoyed seeing so many DMC's all in one place, I was like a kid in a candy store but without my pocket money. <br />
<br />
I have been a massive fan of the cars being brought up in the 80s with of course Back to the Future which I had recorded from Ye Old Sky onto VHS and pretty much wore the tapes out. Then in later years became more and more interested in the man himself John Delorean and watched many documentaries about him. I have been lucky in my job as a Lorry Driver to go across to NI on many occasions and have been and visited the old plant in Dunmurry which I can just about get the lorry to turn around on the estate before the gate.<br />
<br />
Anyway massive thanks to bringing all your pride and joys to Belper and hope to get to see them again soon at other events.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi,<br />
<br />
I bought a DeLorean in the fall of 2020, partially on a whim. I have wanted to get one for as long as have wanted to get any vehicle at all and I happened to be looking through used car listings and just stumbled over it, realized it was within my budget, and phoned up the seller to arrange a test drive. I have no regrets so far.<br />
<br />
I began fixing up all the little issues (adjusting the gearshift, fixing the clock, and changing all the fluids and filters among other things) this summer and found this forum.<br />
<br />
I'll probably post more stuff when I either have all these little things worked out or when I hit a problem  <img src="http://www.deloreans.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/tongue.png" alt="Tongue" title="Tongue" class="smilie smilie_5" /> <br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Looking forward, I am also in search of missing VINs, and attribute information for VINs we do have listed but don’t have such information for.  So I will be starting a new thread in the appropriate place that I will monitor for updates.  Please watch for it, and if you would be so kind as to post your updates there.  I understand some people don’t wish to disclose such information, that’s perfectly ok too.</span><br />

Just writing a quick hello as a new (old) member and enthusiast. I was originally member #347 about 15 or so years ago when Chris Parnham was club secretary (Hi Chris!) but unfortunately never made it to any of the big meets although I met a few from the club (Stuart Nicholls at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2006 and Stephen Knight in Ayr - not sure if they're still members...?) during that time and it was always a pleasure. <br />
<br />
I've recently re-joined the DOC after living and working abroad for 11 years. Financially, I'm slightly closer to owning a D than I was before but I've noticed the prices have risen considerably! <br />
<br />
Good to see there's a Scotland rep! I will drop James a line soon. I saw an old thread that mentioned monthly meetings just outside Edinburgh around 2015...?

<br />
New Member. Well, returning member actually. I previously joined in 2007 but was too young and broke to afford a DeLorean, so I shelved the idea. I'm now less young and less broke, but I see DeLorean prices have increased considerably in my absence. <br />
<br />
Like most people, I was introduced to the DeLorean as a youngster watching BTTF films, but it wasn't until I purchased a classic car magazine in 2004 as a day-dreaming teenager that I realised they were actually obtainable. I had been greatly misled about production numbers, so this was a revelation to me. On the bucket the DMC-12 went. <br />
<br />
I'm open to the idea of importing a car, but really only through BHCC as I need my hand holding. Naturally, I would be interested in a UK car if one becomes available. <br />
<br />
Anyway, I look forward to getting involved in the community and hopefully a DeLorean of my own.]]></description>

<br />
Still getting to know the car and working through a list of things that need fixing or tinkering<br />
<br />
I absolutely love the car and have used it every day (when it's dry).In fact, I need to increase my insurance annual mileage, as I have a feeling I'm going to be going over my limit!<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi All!<br />
Quick one, I'm sure I spotted a thread on the forum somewhere but I'm damned if I can find it.. (again)!<br />
If importing from the US, IIRC on the import form there's some sort of box to tick that a DeLorean is a 're-import', and if you do this correctly then the only import 'tax' one gets at the UK end is a VAT charge at 5% (plus some port fees, &amp;c).<br />
Is that right?  I only ask 'cos I saw something elsewhere which suggested you'd pay a 5% 'import tax' and then VAT <span style="font-style: italic;">in addition.  </span>Obviously this would make quite a difference..!<br />
Grateful if someone could chip in with knowledge or experience.  <br />
I'm trying to make the 'man maths' add up (in theory at least, so I can get saving!) and it would be good to have all the right factors added in!!<br />
If I'm going to try and use Excel I may's well get it right...<br />
Cheers!<br />

I'm Jordan and it's great to be part of the club. I recently renewed my membership and have thoroughly enjoyed reading through the magazines and seeing the hard work and dedication of the owners.<br />
<br />
I'm hoping at some point this year to purchase my first DeLorean, which is both exciting and a little daunting but I know this is the place to be for that journey.<br />
<br />
I look forward to getting to know everyone.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi folks,<br />
<br />
Like you all, I have been an avid DMC fan since my youth. Having dreamed of one of these cars for 20 odd years, I am now almost in a position to make a purchase. Probably going to be going down the project road but realise after much reading that I could find myself in a rather expensive rabbit hole. A classic car dealer friend has suggested before even getting serious about buying I should really see one up close and get some expert advice from an owner on the pros and cons of being a delorean keeper. <br />
<br />
I am up in Scotland (Dundee), so if there is anyone up North who would be kind enough to let me come and have a look/chat or better still someone who may be prospectively selling? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!<br />
<br />
Best wishes,<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone. I've been in love with the DeLorean for 30 years now, I don't need to express why....you know why <img src="http://www.deloreans.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/wink.png" alt="Wink" title="Wink" class="smilie smilie_2" /><br />
<br />
I had my first DMC experience in 2004 while during a trip to California I tracked down a DeLorean dealer and paid a visit. The owner was happy to show me around and I got to see and sit in one for the first time. It was the best part of my trip!<br />
<br />
In 2009 my ever loving and supportive fiancee was happy for me to hire a DeLorean for our wedding day (Looking back on an old email folder, Chris Williams, you pointed me in the direction of Stuart Rees who was more local to me). That day was epic! I got to drive it for a very short trip around the block, have a spin around town as a passenger, got lots of photos and escorted DMC style to the Church... I also got married!<br />
<br />
Eleven years later and owning one myself has always seemed like a pipe-dream, but I'm hopeful to bring enough money together within the next year to be able to purchase my own. Unfortunately I'm not mechanically minded in terms of dealing with the maintenance that would come with owning such a classic car, but obviously willing to learn.<br />
<br />
It's good to be here and thanks for having me.<br />
<br />
Pic here is taken on the morning of my wedding day. My hairline has also taken a significant hit in the last 11 years.<br />
