Purchased my Delorean from Oregon, USA in late March 2011 and she arrived to Melbourne, Australia late June 2011. Took foreeeevvveeeeer! :(

I'm guessing I'm the 3rd owner since new. Details of the first owner is patchy, but all I can say was that he was a drug dealer. *LMAO*

Here are some pics........

The Delorean was fully updated and enhanced by Toby Peterson in DMCW, nothing spared from what I had been told, including new Governor for the Auto. But boy, that Stage 1 exhaust sounds fantastic! :twisted:

And the last pic of me and my new baby! :D

She's booked in tomorrow to get her Road Worthy Certificate (she should pass without any hiccups) and then, registration next.

What I have done, not much. Just swapped the aftermarket pedals back to stock last night and going to replace the cracked rear vision mirror over the weekend. What I need to do is drop the front end, looks like she is going to take off. And then, change the headunit to something simpler and black in colour.

very nice car, and I can see you considered your purchase properly by getting the more desirable Automatic version. I hope you enjoy it!!!! At least you won't get Tennis knee like the manuel owners get!!!

Nice looking car. Will you be forced into a RHD conversion or will you escape that with it now being 30 years old?
