Nice T-Shirt!

Sell me your AL MM90!!! :):):)

Ha - you spotted it!

Well in a thread I posted a few months back I did say that on reaching retirement (anytime soon)I'd be selling 2 of my Alberts, my MM RD50, my hardtail EVH and my MM paraphernalia - but ..... the MM90 is the one I'll keep .... but money talks!! :) - it is after all a very rare guitar what with being a LEAL - I only know of another two - BP has one and one was owned by Lance Roamnce (rip). The guy who owns that one now no longer has it stock.

Me too! I wish it was for sale! I'll get one in (around) a years time.

I've offered to help the owner in a body off resto, just to learn about them!!

Watch this space!!!!

There's that word again. Is there something wrong with the Earth's gravitational pull in the future?

One of my all time favs as well...even though the DeLorean was a pig. That thing needed a real engine.

It was hardly a fire breather back in the day but compared favourably with other marks of the time
JZD was up against it, time wise toget an engine passed meeting the strict US requirements. A quick way around this was to use a PRV engine already in use and meeting US requirements. towards the end of the Delorean era they paid Legend Industries to design and install twin Turbos - it made a heck of a difference. The engine was bench tested continuously for 300 hours and was bullet proof. These were to be fitted to new cars and could be retro fitted to existing vehicles .. however the company was liqidated ........

Agreed...I remember the stories well and I watched it all go down. Scandal or not, I think everybody who grew up in that era wanted one (me included). BTW, it hadn't occurred to me until now (because I'm stupid), but my comment was an insult to the car you were looking to acquire. My deepest apologies. :eek:

Ha Mike. No insult taken. I've read everything there is out there on DMC over the last 4 years - even the Auditor's report in liquidation. You are 100% spot on about the engine - it is underpowered for the car - no argument about that. But if I had a performance car I'd probably lose my license pretty quickly!
DMC? - I'm even in touch wth Barrie Wills the CEO of DMC at the end of the company, and part of an unsucessful consortium to rescue the Delorean Motor company renaming it the Dunmurray Motor Company and rebranding the TR7 and TR8 under the Healey name while continuing to manufacture the DMC. Alas it failed due to a blundered presentation by James Prior to Maggie Thatcher.

can't afford an e type jag- so a DMC 12 will have to do!:cool:

Very cool - best of luck, and be sure to send some pics (with appropriate EBMM content) once you're in the driver's seat! :)
