Looking for Delorean chums

Hello there,

not sure if this was the correct part of the forum to introduce myself but.....

I'm Jake from Ferndown in Dorset. I'm not a owner of a Delorean (I would very much like to be) but alsas I currently have no budget, Its still in the dream phase unfortunately, I'd thought I better consider that at 6'4 I might not even be able to comfortably drive one any how :-(, I'm looking for some delorean owner chums preferably in the south of England that might allow me to become more involved in the Delorean world. I should think if I was able to raise my funds to purchase a car it would be an import and a restoration project.....here lies the other problem....I'm not at all experienced as a mechanic so Ideally I would love to help out with a restoration project and learn about the mechanics first hand.....so if you know of anyone that might consider having a full of questions, keen to learn assistant, chum etc please let me know :-)

Welcome!

John Z DeLorean himself was 6'4, so size won't be a problem. It is a big car for a 2-seater after all.

Actually I shouldn't let my height effect things as I would probrably still get one and get some other lucky chum to drive it!! and considering I currently drive a tiny car about for work!!

Hi, you should be fine at 6'4 !
There are a few owners nearby to you. We have a big event in a couple of weeks if you're able to attend in Norfolk

Hello New Delorean chum.

EuroTec is an event in June held in Norfolk. It's the best opportunity to meet owners/ other Delorean fans :)
