Back to the Future Super-Fan Fulfils Lifelong Dream by Buying His Own DeLorean
In the News
I saw this article and thought how ironic it was
I entered a sun newspaper competition over 30 years ago to win the original car from the film, it was not my usual rag but i really wanted to win it so i bought it
You had to collect vouchers all week and send them in
I was convinced i would win it , but alas didn't
But here is someone who manged to buy one from the US
I hope it lasts , they were not that reliable, but just to have one is iconic

When I go out for a long walk there's a house I pass where a guy there restores cars. Last year he had a DeLorean car outside. It was lovely to see the car up close. 
I went to a classic car show a couple of years back, it was a large one with over 600 rare and vintage cars.
There were some real beauties there, but the car attracting the biggest crowd was a DeLorean.
I watched a documentary recently about John DeLorean and what he did to get it manufactured in Ireland , very interesting the way he lied and manipulated the governments , especially the UK , costing the taxpayers millions
Also he was known as a ladies man who hobnobbed with the rich and famous
I think it's great that he managed to achieve a lifelong dream, and I would imagine it will be very well looked after and only taken out on special occasions, so reliability shouldn't be too much of an issue.
Cool looking car 
Would be within my luck to win the competition. I can't drive and if I could I'd probably forget where I parked the thing anyway. Taxi firms say sometimes "your taxi is an xyc". I don't know a car from a carton lol. To think I had a P/T job as a traffic enumerator once!
You never know M, you might be able to afford a tesla if and when the prices drop, they drive themselves , but they are not quite there yet 
I only hope he’ll be able to get in out after all those years of waiting. A friend bought a sports car (he’s in his 70s) and struggles getting in so you can image what it’s like to get out.
I used to have an mg midget P, they were low and even i struggled when i was younger
But getting in was easier than out
Yes M, someone doesnt like the truth
Its getting a bit ridiculous M, i think they have a new moderator that is being over zealous
It seems they are taking the ban on religious and political chat a bit far, you only have to mention the word government or church and it is removed , even if the article is not about politicals or about religion
I even just had one of my competitions rejected and i had to appeal and alter it 8 times before it was accepted, because the word condiment was in the title , referring to spices !!!
My problem is i wont let things go if i feel i in the right, but despite asking which moderator is causing havoc with my posts i have not got an answer
It seems LD moderation can operate incognito with just an automated response as an answer and we have to stay silent and accept it , watch this get removed next
Rant over 
My goodness, what a drama! This is a Deals site, real life is on the other side of the screen.
B, no this is a chat page we are on
If this was happening to you, would you be happy ?
When you complain in an e mail you are ignored
Not what i would call the best response
Or maybe you guys are so desperate for 10p a day that you think this is a job, or something like that.
