I have saved negative space due to this transition, as it’s so hard to say no to a free CRT. And these are only the ones I keep in the garage...

And with the side-stripe too, which is a personal favorite. Though I’m bias and would prefer my own for the leading pic;

Racetrack would be a major problem in regards to weather. Inputs recorded during a dry lap not valid on a wet lap. Computer would need some way to compensate and as with any computing problem given enough time and power it could be solved.

Back and left, because logic.

Front vs. Back; First and Reverse are your pulling-away gears, so First goes up and Reverse goes back akin to first pulls away forward and reverse pulls away back.

Left vs. Right; You progress up the shift pattern left-to-right as you move up the gears. Reverse is not above your highest…

Understood; Borrow money and buy another DeLorean.

DMC-12

As much as I love my DeLorean, the gold-plated American Express car promotion was just madness.

There is an amazing Boulangerie not far from my work that does an amazing assortment of breads. Pair that up with some good quality sea-salted French butter and it’s a real treat. Not my favourite food, but a good base for some delicious breakfasts.

The blandness you talk of is because American breads are all sweetened…

Definitely timeless.

A DeLorean is as reliable as the owner makes it, same with any 34 year old classic car really. The reputation they have is spawned from teething problems with the very first production cars, but the majority came out in tip-top form from the factory. If you made an effort to read up on the car or the company you’d…

Is it the glorious bellow of a PRV V6, wheezing out the back of a DeLorean?

Agree and disagree. The entrapment issues related to drugs may be wider known (and almost always reported incorrectly), but the real downfall of DMC was caused by JZD and Colin Chapman embezzling the seed funds for the company.

Not to mention the mistake of upping production in October ‘81 to inflate the share price…

Nope! It was ruled as entrapment as undercover agents approached him about the deal, and initially pretended it was a above-board legal investment.

A shame John DeLorean felt the need to market it as a sports car, as when you frame the car as a Grand Tourer it all adds up properly. The original 170bhp spec would have been preferred, but emissions laws (and a UK Government push to actually get the production line rolling and cars selling) meant they had to settle…

As an owner I’d thoroughly disagree, but the DeLorean is a car people to love to hate without ever actually driving one. Can’t win against ignorance :)

Always brings a smile to my face. Not so much when they are tarted up as a time-machine though.

First year of owning my DeLorean I heard a terrible rattle from the box section of the frame where the gear linkage runs.
