Ill be getting my car in a few weeks after 23 years of waiting. I can't wait to become part of this wonderful community. I have already been well embraced by the folks on dmctalk and they have all been a joy to talk to and are helping me find my new baby. And much like the 2 gentlemen with the red car that was being restored, once I own this car, I will never sell it. And more than likely I will be buried in it.
Man. I've had mine for almost 15 years. I agree. It is NEVER not-cool anymore. I love it more today than I did 15 years ago. Every time I see it, it blows me away. It is seriously cool, every time I see it. It never goes away. I always feel like a kid.
Same man, nothing beats that late night sneak peek into the garage to see the car lol. Or give her a good wash, and sit outside with a coffee and look those styled lines
It is so great to see these 2 young men so proud of what they own. They are obviously living comfortably, but are so far from being "bored" with their belongings. I truly hope that they do keep this car forever. Heck, it even looks great to me with the body panels removed. There will always be something so special about the DeLorean.
What they said about no matter where you go, no matter what other kick-ass cars are around you... the DeLorean will be the center of the crowd's attention. This is absolutely true. You can throw all the hate you want about the car, but when it pulls in on cruise-in night IT instantly pulls the crowd. Almost everyone has seen yet another souped-up Mustang... But they've never seen a DeLorean before. And in the end, it's who gets the attention.
I'm going to link this on the Jay Leno garage video which featured the back to the future delorean with the director and the guys who restored the original movie car, they spoke about the twin turbo but said it was never made, they should see this.
As has been mentioned, Great Vids! I've only had mine about 3 years but, the DeLorean online community is just Awesome. I met with another Alabama owner at a local eatery and we ended up with a Lot of people that stopped by because they saw not 1, but 2 DeLoreans in the parking lot. Live the Dream. George
Very nice doco. Well done. Love to see more about the DMC in the U.S.There about 50 of us in Australia definately from different backgrounds and age groups. Vin 1916
That's funny that you found another owner who collected coin-operated games in addition to his DeLorean. I knew a DeLorean owner who had (and probably still has) a fantastic collection of Laser-Disc games from the 83-84 era (including some rarities like Cube Quest). When I purchased a Dragon's Lair cab to replace my water-damaged wood, he mentioned his DMC 12, and of course - I was jealous as hell. Still am actually. That factory twin-turbo model is one of 4 or so built (unless my memory is shot). That's a huge get.
Very interesting,I didn't know a "twin turbo" model was made. Do you know the H.P output of that engine? As I remember the PRV V6 was a bit of a weak engine when fitted with US emission equipment to allow certification in the US market. This factory turbo set up would certainly help in that regard. The DMC 12 is a really interesting car as they're not many in Canada. I did see one in an auto wreckers yard in western Canada about seven years ago. I really wish I could've bought it but I wasn't sure about the condition of the car especially the under body and frame. So with that I passed on it. A "twin turbo" model would be really sweet if I could find one.
@@paulkirkland1535 Oh the basic engine was VERY weak - for a V6 particularly. Other things you have to look out for / replace / work on is the BOSCH interlinks in the drive train. A couple of decades (or so) ago there was a company in ... Cincinnati (If I recall) that could upgrade the frame to stainless steel as well (which was the original intent) instead of the epoxy standard steel frame. Getting that upgrade wasn't as expensive as you'd imagine and would make the car basically limitless lifespan. It's half the reason why I'm so interested in the Tesla Cybertruck. It too should have an insane lifespan.
A sad burnt up DMC example is the closes I got to considering one. Fortunately I got hold of a Subaru Brat so I can pretend to have a gull-wing car.. :) A tech and a arcade game collector as well. :) Future project is a "Cannonball Run" movie Subaru hatchback that was much much cheaper by a hundreth, that has as many prop gadgets as a BTTF car. Someday..
Great Vid thanks for posting. I to Met John D. at the same Car show in Cleveland it was at the dinner and got a picture with him and He Signed Something for me A Most Gracious Man. One of the most greatest times in my Life was to meet him. It was A very sad day when he passed I wanted to go to the Funeral but RL Stuff got in the way of that.
tWO GREAT Videos well done ! Hey just wondered has anyone tried modernisin a De Lorean to todays safty and weight reducing specs ! Eg ... Carbon fibre tub .... ceramic brakes air bags ABS Launch control etc !
3 of us local owners are in virginia beach. But no one ever comes here, i think they are a bit north of VA. I baby mine so wont risk driving it that far north for a meeting lol
This was a pretty good video until the U2 started playing at the end. I mean, I understand the connection with them being Irish and the DeLoreans being built in Ireland, but gag. Lol.

Agreed @Blake Riley. If my wife and I aren't at a beach, my idle time is spent working on or cleaning my DeLo.

Happens every time I bring mine to a car show or cruise night. I lift the doors, walk away, and people migrate to it.

Very nice Documentary, That's what it's all about, The Delorean Community!
I liked your video and the cars in them. Still debating if this is something I want to get into!

Where is the mid-Atlantic delorean club based? I am a new ower and would love to be a part of the wonderful community of people.
3 of us local owners are in virginia beach. But no one ever comes here, i think they are a bit north of VA. I baby mine so wont risk driving it that far north for a meeting lol
deloreans 4 life
This was a pretty good video until the U2 started playing at the end. I mean, I understand the connection with them being Irish and the DeLoreans being built in Ireland, but gag. Lol.
Deloreans were built in Northern Ireland, part of the UK. U2 are Dublin based, which is in Ireland. Totally different country
some of my friends joke that they can see me driving a DeLorean (TBH I`d actually be very embarrassed if 1 pulled up in front of my house)
