10657 has a new home!!!

[Jordan Livingston]

Dear DeLorean Friends,

I've met many of you over the years at DCS and Eurofest. Most of you will remember me as 'that guy with the camera' shooting a documentary about DeLorean owners, and what it's like to live the dream. Well, I'm very excited to announce that I'll finally join you all in the ranks of dreamers, as I'm now the proud new owner of VIN 10657!!!

I was choked up when 10657 rolled out of the vehicle transporter after a long, much-delayed journey across the country. Like most of you I'm sure, I've been dreaming about this day - LITERALLY dreaming about it - since I was about 5 years old. 10657, a 1982 gray interior automatic, is the same age as me. Who would've guessed 33 years ago as she rolled off the line in Dunmurray that she'd make her way into some newborn baby's garage one day?

I've registered the CA plate D E N S I T Y. Look for me on the roads and at car shows in Northern California!

Your friend in time,

- Jordan

P.S. I had been in possession of 10657 for less than 20 minutes when someone pulled up beside me and shouted "hey, where's the Flux Capacitor?!" That's gotta be some kind of new record!

Congrats! I know exactly how you felt, I could not sleep the night before we picked up ours. An actual dream come true. Mine is an '82 so it's just a year older than me :)

Also probably not a record on the "Hey!! Where's the Flux Capacitor??" LOL. I too heard it about that quickly and about 1000 times since in my short time owning the car. You'll get used to it.

What a great plate. I've never seen that before on a DeLorean.

[Domi]

Congratulation on your purchase :yesss:

[Chris Burns]

Congrats Jordan!!:rock_on:

Can't think of anyone more deserving of a Delorean than you buddy.

I must say I'm jealous!!

[Jordan Livingston]

What a great plate. I've never seen that before on a DeLorean.

Thanks!!! I thought long and hard about it! Finally I decided I could live with a BTTF reference as long as it was subtle.

Don't worry, you'll get many BTTF related shouts. I guess shouts and questions are fine until they ask, "Where's the cocaine?":bang:

Anyways, good luck on the the "new" DeLorean, and keep living the dream!

[Morpheus]

Congrats on your new obsession!

lol grats. When i first received mine, less than 10 minutes later filling up at a gas station after driving it off the truck i had some arab guy who kept asking me to sell it to him

Congratulations Jordan! :thumbup:

[Jordan Livingston]

There needs to be an additional forum for the things people say to us when driving the DeLorean... I'm less than 24 hours into DeLorean ownership and already I've heard:

- "Hey, where's the flux capacitor?!" (obviously)

- "What color paint is that?!"

- "John D. was really an icon... It's too bad he got caught smuggling drugs."

- "It's such a sad story; that John D. killed himself."

- "Stainless steel?! Wow, that thing must be HEAVY!" (incidentally, not an intentional BTTF reference)."

And, my personal favorite... "Oh, cool, they're making DeLoreans again. These are so much nicer than the originals."

Cheers,

- Jordan
