Helloooo! Yup. It's me. It's mine. After making Al fix the foglight indicator bulb in the dash for an hour I took a 2 and a half hour drive back in the dark with pouring rain and it still put a smile on my face when someone at Oxford services asked to take a picture of it in the dark!

Congratulations! That small quote remembers me of a bit from 'Lord of the Rings', but that is besides the point. I hope you had a great drive. Hope to see/hear more of you and your car.

Wow Al wasn't expecting that!

Any plans to fill that empty spot in your garage?

Al will probably buy an even better delorean either that or I'll be selling this back to him in 6 months time when I realise I can't afford it!

As I'm now panicking about how to afford it I'll be doing events and hires, weddings etc with it. The way I look at it is I could either never own a DeLorean or I can own one and try to get it to mostly pay for itself. I'll let you all know when I've set up a website. If all else fails at least I'll have been an owner for about 6 months!!! :D

Lol, I'm hoping all of Al's hard work has meant there isn't much left to go wrong! (wishful thinking I know!)

Well I found two minutes round the corner from me is one of the biggest classic car hire companies, so I'm going to give self drive hire a go... I tried to find one to self drive for ages and couldnt so hopefully it could help some people experience a DeLorean, if it looks like the car is getting abused I'll pull it out and go back to events/weddings/chauffeur drive hire etc.

For the moment my amateur hour website is http://www.deloreanexperience.co.uk
