It's at 5pm at Bailey's Automotive in Murray. If anybody's lurking and wants to join our tiny UT DeLorean club, drop me a line and I'll forward your info to our pres. Or you can probably get in touch through the facebook page. Hope I'll see some of you there!

We had a few cars show up to this, a couple of other owners and would-be owners. The shop owner (I think his name was Craig) is an aspiring DeLorean specialist so he got some practice with our cars.

We took another look at mine to double-check if there was any damage after my curb-jumping incident last week. Craig some damage to my lower ball joint boot and recommended I get it replaced before any more long trips. Glad I got a second opinion!

Our club president needed his angle drive changed so we put his car up on the lift and Craig changed it out. I got a couple pictures.

He had some trouble getting the new one in there but eventually must have gotten it. I missed the thrilling conclusion because by then the pres wanted to demonstrate washing the car, and I volunteered mine since I'd gotten stuck in the rain at work last night.

This might be the cleanest it's been in months! IMG_20170602_194208.jpg

It was fun, we chatted a lot with one of the wanna-be owners and I don't think I scared him off. One of the shop guys said his brother is hoping to get one, too. Hopefully we'll have some new club members soon! :bigggrin:

Sounds like a fun time. I actually replaced my angle drive a while also.

We're hoping to work with this shop more in the future. The owner seems pretty enthusiastic about becoming a DeLorean tech. Which will be nice since the next closest specialists are in SoCal/Seattle/Denver. Our club president really wants to make us a real club where we pay dues so we can have more events and things. Hope we get more D owners out to join in the fun!

Are there many in that area?

Are there many in that area?

There's about 6 or 7 in our club, one or two strays that we know of, and according to the VIN list, supposedly 40+ in UT. If we could get them all to join up we'd be doing pretty good...

Delorean owners can be elusive...Ive heard rumors of a couple in tacoma/lakewood....but havent met any.
