Hello folks,

Heard about this board on the NJ Z Club web site. While I don't own a Z just yet, I do own a D:



My goal is finding a nice Z31 (1984-1989) to be my next daily driver. I'll probably be popping up at a few of the NJ events to learn more and meet people.

Hey Chris, Welcome aboard!

I look forward to meeting you, with the Delorean or Z.
I'd love to learn a bit about Deloreans from an owner.

Cool, welcome! There's a D that parks at my place of work but I haven't met the owner yet. Have you done any mods to the D or is it pure stock?

Welcome to the board,i have to admit the delorean is pretty sweet.if i owned one i'd have to run around screaming about how i need 1.21 gigawatts.

I'm catching hell from friends who think I am trapped in the 1980s. I just happen to like that era of cars. My first car was a 1990 Dodge Daytona. I think of the Daytona as a crappy interpretation of a Z31. I want to return to the days of driving a hatchback coupe, just not in another Daytona. I saw my friend's 1985 Turbo Z and instantly thought "This is similar to my Daytona, only a million times better!"

The 1960s are my second favorite era for cars. (I'm a huge fan of John DeLorean and his babies, the Pontiac Firebird and Pontiac GTO.)

The DeLorean is a reliable and solid car at this point. The only part of the body that is prone to rust is the frame. If you are familiar with the frame, it's an epoxy coated mild steel frame. As long as you keep the epoxy maintained, the frame will last forever. I use POR-15 for all epoxy repair. The rest of the car is fiberglass and stainless steel. Very easy to maintain.

I take pride in the fact I maintain the car and keep it on the road. It's very important for me to drive and enjoy the car. Although it's garaged from rain and snow, it is driven. 38,000 miles on it.

Occasionally I will ask the gas station attendant about plutonium. Doing it with a straight face gets the best reactions. I get the "does it run on garbage?" question a lot. I say yes...straight faced.

Ha ha, cool!

I'd really like to get a good look at it one day.

Welcome and nice car!

i don't think i could drive a deloreon (sp) very often. and if i thought bout what some hail would do i'd freak out.


other than my hail fear i'm envious of your time machine

Hey, the Delorean is really cool. Saw one in a car museum in PA once. I keep thinking about flux capacitors for some reason. Anyway, nice to have you on board. Welcome.
