Thank you mate.

I’m not an expert with car mechanics by any means. But I do like to tinker and I have really enjoyed getting 11477 to where she is now.

Still a few jobs to do of course.... but she is certainly driveable.

As I may have said, driving the DeLorean has just made me even more obsessed with the car.
Love it!!! :D

Ha ha!!! :D

Yes, I genuinely wasn’t expecting that!!
I sent a few pics and told him a few things I was up to. We had some email chat and that was it.

Then I watched the episode earlier and and was quite chuffed to get a mention..... and the valet kit!!!

Yes, I did see that to today! I knew I had seen the pics before on Facebook. Always good to see DeLorean s on a program and get some background information.

MOT Passed today, our D's coming to Eurotec.

One advisory 'investigate oil leak' I know where the oil's coming from, but that's not going to stop me bringing it to Eurotec.

Thanks Mike. I used your guide to fill in the form and get all the docs together, sent special delivery yesterday. I’ve just checked and they received it at 6am this morning!

Just a waiting game now. Can’t wait :)

Nice one, Max sent his off recently and got his registration document back inside of two weeks, so it shouldn't be long now.

Max did make me aware that the registration form has been updated slightly, with a new field at the bottom asking for "List price/notional price" for the car.
Reading the guide however it states that field is only for M1 type approved vehicles, and as the DeLorean was never type approved we just leave that section blank.
