    We have lost Ronald "Ron" Pirkle.

    I was contacted by Ron's wife and son and informed today about the passing of Ron Pirkle. He was a invaluable help to the Delorean community with his knowledge and willingness to help anyone. During my visits to his home, I can tell you his same willingness to help, hospitality and character also extended into his private life. My prayers are with his family. Rest easy Ron.

    Below is a link to his obituary.

    RIP....Ron was very helpful to me many times. I spoke to him a few times when I was struggling with a mechanical issue and he was great at talking me through it.

    I don't always drive cars, but when I do, I prefer DeLoreans

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