One thing i enjoy going for a drive late at night is that there are no other drivers about. Also, the car photographs really well at night

Cheers guys. Not bad for an amateur really.

I changed the front speakers today. Turns out my craigs are in pretty damn good condition. Still needed changing to something with a better sound quality even if its slightly better. I went with alpines from halfrauds. Rears will need doing at some point which im not looking forward to doing but they can wait.

I also think ive finally sorted that pesky door ajar problem on the passenger side. The light still flickers occasionally when i turn left but at least its not always on now.

Since upgrading the binnacle lights to LEDs the brake light was always creeping on. I found that was down to the rubber handbrake cover pressing down slightly on the handbrake switch. Another little annoyance now sorted.

Spotted

Postby DMC1983 » Sun Feb 23, 2020 7:49 pm

Everytime im spotted out and about, im confused with the other 2 owners nearby with the FNP plate. I know, because those owners message me :lol:

Anytime you see a delorean in essex with the FNP plate, just assume its me. I drive my car often possibly more than both other said owners combined. Ive actually got myself a couple of nice routes now.

Nice! Once the weather improves and my car ventures out of the garage I might join you on one of your routes for a mini DeLorean convoy :thumbsup:

Journal

Postby DMC1983 » Fri Mar 06, 2020 11:04 pm

As someone who got zero history with my car besides a title, ive been wanting to do a journal of sorts. Its only now that ive realised how i want to chronicle my ownership.

I have another journal where i can write mine and the cars journey from buying the car, the restoring process and everything in between. Now i have this nice leather bound one where i will add photos (i know, who prints photos anymore) with a brief description to go with them. I thought that this would be a nice little thing for the next owner (which wont be for a long time) and i think its a nice personal touch for the cars history other than receipts. There was a time that if you bought a classic car, you would inherit loads of photographs too (ok not always). Well thats a nice touch that is pretty much dead now as people dont tend to print the photos as they stay on a hard drive somewhere.

Does anyone have some other suggestions as to what i could include? Maybe if i stay somewhere i could include a hotel matchbook (or something along those lines).
