Wow, thanks. I could not stop watching until I had seen it. Really nicely done.

I now have the urge to watch "Life on Mars" and "Ashes to Ashes" again. Philip Glenister is really an icon.

Pretty good. Thanks very much for posting that.

That was really well done. Thanks for uploading it!

My two favorite bits: £23,000! And this:

Thanks for the link Mike. Great quality video. Other than a few minor incorrect details (as always) over-all, it was a great DeLorean show.

Is he going over the car with WD-40 towards the end? Do people use this as a cleaner or an actual polish for their cars?

IIRC, Chris N. uses whatever is on hand for a "whetting agent" to help highlight the area, to verify completeness
of repair and refinishing. WD-40 or SS Polish can be used during final blending with correct 3M Scotch-brite pad.

Hi Rich, I saw the Love of Cars and your ride in it - suppppper cool! Question; What is the correct 3M Scotch-brite pad # to use for final blending? I know delorean.com sells a grey one (no mention of the 3M #) and Hervey sell's a brown one... kinda lost here and hesitant to start using either of them w/o some input on this... thx - Brian

Hi Brian,

The following are the type I have been using for the past decade (and the one's Chris N. uses when he is here).

Scotch Brite Pads: 3M #7446, Coarse – Dark Grey (available through a number of different suppliers found online)

Really great presentation of the car, and the man. I too cringed at the flatbed shots, and then again when all of those wet leaves stuck to the front screen with the cars in formation.

Was the car really recalled twice? I assume one of these was the famous front end recall.

I felt that most of the story was accurate. But if I didn't know any better after watching the program, I might think JZD invented EFI for the DMC-12.

Never fear. I know better.

Recommended this to a few friends who wanted to know more about the car. Thanks for posting. Always a treat to see the D Rex. The distance shots in motion are surreal.

Oh and, was it a Wooler Hodec conversion?

Not a factory one no, however it's so similar we believe it was done either by WH after the demise of DMC or by WH staff. Rack Etc is all correct. Because the history of the car is a bit sketchy it's a bit difficult to know.
