Where's Chris Nicholson been this month? I hear you ask. Well..... here!:

For those of you that don't know Rich W, the creator of the D-Rex, is also doing a limo project - his website is here: http://www.deloreanmotorcars.com/

Awesome. Wouldn't like the bill for it or the trailer though.

and I will have to read up on whats going to power that thing along

As I understand it, it will be powered by a stock DeLorean engine, but the higher power "auto" version!

Don't be facetious me Jamieson, it is absolutely common knowledge among the world of Delorean enthusiasts that 'Auto's' are better, they are more sort after. for their speed and agility and overall performance over the less desirable 'Manual' version. *camel toe* will do 500 mile an hour................of a cliff And thats whats gonna happen to it if it misbehaves any more!!! Ask Tony, he will back me up, On the way to Eurotech this very year we had an incident where we had to overtake a bus on the A10, everything was going swimmingly, engine purring, I even folded in the wing mirrors to improve the aerodynamic co-efficiency, and then it all went Pete Tong, the bus pulled away from the bus stop!!! Don't under estimate what John Z designed and built, he was an engineering genius!!!

as for the Limo, well what can I say, if the worst comes to worst, he could always turn it upside down and use it as a canoe!!

Nice & cheap on the ferry! not.

What a waste of a car, 4 good doors and torsion bars.

Goddamnit! These frickin' DeLorean owners who insist on changing stereos, suspensions and exhausts on their cars. It's perfectly good as is! Heaven forbid someone should modify one even more than that

[Darren C]

For "modify" substitute "Really Fu*k up"

Bet it flexes really badly in the middle, considering there is only the width of the tee bars and a glass fibre tub windscreen frame to support the body. I doubt it will meet the SVA, or if it slips through the net, it will ever be safe.

The frame is stainless so probably quite strong, but I would be worried about it fracturing with that sort of length. I doubt it will get used much so probably doesn't matter, just turn some heads at a few shows I suppose.
