So there I was, cruising from work back home when a low, steely-grey sports car came down the other side of the road.
As it came closer I saw something I'd never seen in 'real life' before - on the grille, the letters DMC.
Yes, spotted me a DeLorean. Made my day ^_^
Outta time!

wow! 
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Re: Outta time!
Oh, they're horrible cars.
Still want one though
Just have to rip out pretty much everything and rebuild it with some quality guts ^^

Nowt wrong with the PRV lump, my problem is any dings can't be repaired without shelling out a medium-sized fortune.

To be fair, it may be poorly made, but it's a bit of a classic!
Check the Wikipedia Page for more in depth info including the recipe, and also the fact that they're supposed to be starting to make new ones!

Indeed, pretty sure I'd seen that exact same car way back in 1956...
