Randomly spotted RHD Delorean!!

Postby Dan 6511 » Sat Apr 24, 2010 5:29 pm

I took my Delorean out for a drive today as its been sat in the garage for about 3 weeks. While I was out, another random Delorean drove past me in the opposite direction!! I turned round and we stopped. I went to say hi to the driver first and the chap said 'he's the driver' I looked again and it was RHD !! Anyway it turns out his name is Richard and he was on his way home from buying it from someone in London today. I told him to get onto our forum ;)

He lives in London but his dad lives in Weathersfield, the car is going to live there for a while. I thought I recognized the reg from somewhere.

Hello
I'm Richard, the randomly spotted new owner of PSO 69W, which has been previously kept by Stephen Bowman/Streczlak for the last 9 years. I've always driven classic cars, but this is my first DeLorean - so this forum is much appreciated.
We got off to a great start yesterday and had a good drive from Stephen's in London up to my Dad's in North Essex. It wasn't exactly a relaxing journey, of course. For a start, my regular car is a Ford Anglia, so that's about 16 inches of extra width to think about! And then the only cooling was from passenger side window, cos mine doesn't work - so I definitely had a sweat on driving around North London. But once I was on the backroads it all became more fun, and the car felt really good with no nasty surprises. And then I met Dan Stacey in his, which was a very pleasant surprise, and a ridiculous coincidence.

Once I've got a few bits and bobs sorted out, I'll be out and about a lot more and hope attend some events over the summer - hopefully the big Caley Hall one.

all the best

Yeah you must get up to Caley Hall in June!

A mate of mine used to have an Anglia van, that thing certainly made the Delorean feel like a Rolls Royce!

There you go. One advantage of a LHD already! ;)

Looking forward to seeing you (and this car for the first time) in June! 8-)
