    DeLorean Video with Rob Grady of P.J. Grady in Long Island

    Hi everybody, my name's Alex and I'm a reporter for Man's Life magazine www.manslife.com. Last week we put out a video about the DeLorean and two men who restore them, Rob Grady and Bob Zilla. I'm sure I don't need to introduce you to either of them, Rob being an original DeLorean dealer and active in the community for many years and Bob being the man behind ZillaParts electrical components. They were gracious enough with their time (and a beautifully restored DeLorean) to work with us on a video about the car. I hope you'll take a look and let me know what you think.

    Great video! Like the look and feel, as well as the soundtrack. Of course, the content isn't half bad either! Well done!

    Gorgeously shot and edited.

    I thought Bob "Zilla" had retired from DeLorean parts a decade ago, though.

    He didn't officially retire but like an old soldier he just faded away. Consider this his coming out party. Now that it's on film I will bother him mercilessly until products spill out of his "factory". I'm pushing for introdution of a new revised product lineup in time for next spring.

    I hoped that's what his appearance meant. Fantastic news!

    Wow! That's great news. There's a couple items I would like to see in my car. Can you spill the beans on what could be available? I'd hate to invest now in other products during my upcoming winter repair season, if a Zilla alternative could be available next spring.

    For what it's worth the previous owner of my car installed Tankzilla, Fanzilla, and Lockzilla modules on 6125 in 2001 and all continue to work today without issue.

    One interesting thing to note about the Fanzilla sequencer is that not only does it sequentially turn the fans on, it also sequentially turns them off. There's no electrical benefit to doing it this way, but it makes it easy to spot a car with Fanzilla since after ignition key off the second fan will run for ~2 seconds before finally turning off.

    I thought all fan sequencers worked this way until Dave at DMCMW pointed it out to me... apparently the Joe Cool and other more recent fan sequencers turn the fans on separately but turn them off at the same time.
