Was a disappointment. Was also expecting them to stuff the doors to fly off. Never thought I would try to drive and open the doors.Originally Posted by Mike
When the video said 'worlds fastest delorean- TUNED', I thought they had tuned it up and I was going to see an awesome example of this car's stated potential.
Instead, I saw a delorean break down.

Ugh... Not the best publicity for a car that already has a bad rep for breaking down all the time. Very disappointing.

This is what happens when you don't drive a Delorean for a good while, (although to be fair this is a one of a kind custom job). Finding someone to fix a one of kind engine job must be difficult. This is a Delorean for someone who really knows how to fix cars.
Any Delorean is worth saving and I'm sure that after they chase the "old car" bugs out it will be awesome! They are probably waiting for someone to buy it before they put any money into it.

Well that's comforting. Exactly what someone buying a 30k Delorean wants to hear.

I honestly think that if they offer a car up for a vid shoot like this, rule 1 may be to... oh, i dunno.... clean the fuel system out.
I'd love to work on that car. It's just a GN motor. There are PLENTY of amazing GN tuners out there.

Finally sat down to watch this and what a disappointment!
Though to be fair, the host was very accommodating in his presentation and explanation of the problem.
I may have been 6 months since it was driven, but the gas could be a year old (or more)

No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"
