Did u know that in the movie Back to The Future 12 DMC-12 Deloreans were used in all three movies?
Also in the year 1955 there were 4 Deloreans present at one time. The one from 1985 (MARTY), The one from 2015 (Biff), The Alternate 1985 (Doc, Marty), & 1885 (Doc buries the Delorean in 1885).
Just a little factoid for fellow fans of the trilogy. :D

Well, the Doc did say that that date might be some kind of focal point in time. :)

[B]Did you know: i've actually been in one of them :D

LUCKY BASTARD, was it one from the movie or just a naked DMC12?

Best part about being on Long Island is the sheer number of Deloreans!
There is a major repair facility/reseller somewhere on the south shore, I believe. And, someone on the north shore is quite the collector. I've seen one driving around syosset on occasion.

Funny thing, in the 80's i was in Rhode Island (i think it was in rhode island) and we come around a corner, and there's a frickin Delorean dealership, a whole lot full of the things,

Plus there's the fact that it was the PRV (Peugeot Volvo Renault) V-6, and that engine, *ESPECIALLY* at that time, was a horrific piece of trash. Not only did it suffer from oil leakage (*Severe* oil leakage), and a head gasket failure was simply part of the expected problems every 25k miles. I'm more familiar with it as it's called within the volvo community, the B28F. Basically, if you've got one of those, the clock is ticking...
Then there's the electrical system. Holy crap, what a heap! The Triumph engineers would be proud. Stalling, random loss of electrical power, spontaneous shorts, random ignition gremlins, etc. It was not something you want in a car.
And to top it off, the car has pretty bad brakes which are also have a real tendency to warp. And the fact that sometimes, the doors wouldn't open. Or close. whoops.
But, that's what modders and collectors are for. Give it a Cadillac Northstar V8 (one of the common conversions), and the crappy engine is gone. Plus, with 300+ horsepower to play with (more can be had with little effort, too), there's no problem with acceleration. A boat no more.
Then, you're left with the electrical system, which is still a pile of crap, but that can be replaced and such.
[B]I still want one.

Where is the Delorean dealership? Ive seen them on ebay for as low $5000 they get bid on real quick! The main Delorean facility is in Houstan, Texas where you can buy the $30,000 kit. THATS WAY OUTTA MY LEAGUE. I want a Delorean to be my first car actually.

[B]2700-2800 lbs (I've seen a range of numbers) being pushed by 1 338 horsepower V6? Never gonna work (Though I've seen pages suggesting it was actually 155, which is still dismal))

Sanfam what engine did they use to make that unique sound in the movie? I know that is not a feature of a standard Delorean.
But, to cause the wheelspin in the first movie, and give it that nice strong combustion engine sound, it had a Ford 5.0 HO V8 installed. IMHO, every DeLorean should have a V8 or Turbo Six. the PRV engine is just such a crappy POS.
[B]So that high pitched WEEEEER when it goes in reverse or like its powering up isnt a real sound, they fabricated it? [/B][/QUOTE]
Its actually the same sound they use for the X-Wings in Star Wars.

the speakers!
[B]If you put in your DVD or video cassette of BTF, you can clearly hear where the sound comes from:

I sometimes use a headset.
[B]Did you know: i've actually been in one of them :D

So have I. Not one of the retail ones, mind you, but an actual one used in the movie. :D I was so tempted to hot wire it and try to go back in time. :laugh:

i wouldnt mind one either, tho i dont think id be able to afford the engine upgrade. i wouldnt settle for anything less than a V8:D so i dont think id be affording the insurance either:D
