DeLorean DMC-12
(from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
The DeLorean DMC-12 is a sports car that was manufactured in Northern Ireland by the DeLorean Motor Company for the American market in 1981-1982. It is most commonly known simply as the DeLorean, as it was the only model ever produced by the company. The DMC-12 featured gull-wing doors with a fiberglass "underbody", to which non-structural brushed stainless steel panels were affixed. A modified DeLorean was featured as a time machine in the Back to the Future trilogy.
The DMC-12 was featured and mentioned in many films and on television, most notably as the time machine designed by Dr. Emmett Brown in the Back to the Future trilogy. Brown's rationale for choosing the DeLorean was stated in the first film: "The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?" The choice of the DeLorean was actually for the purpose of a gag in the film that occurs when the car arrives in the year 1955 and is mistaken for an alien spacecraft due to its resemblance to the picture on the cover of the farmboy's comic book cover, as well as for its gull-wing doors
...OK, I presume you all know what this car means for our generation 8)
Well, this baby is just in front of me :o

Mr. Fusion
The Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor is the name of a power source used by the DeLorean time machine in the Back to the Future trilogy. It can be seen towards the end of Back to the Future when "Doc" Emmett Brown pulls into the McFlys' driveway after a trip to the year 2015, and is an obvious parody of Mr. Coffee machines, which were very popular at the time of filming. The appliance from which the prop was made was actually a Krups "Coffina" model coffee grinder, which is highly sought after by collectors.
The Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor converts household waste to power for the time machine's flux capacitor and time circuits using nuclear fusion (specifically cold fusion.) In the film, Mr. Fusion allows the DeLorean time machine to generate the required 1.21 gigawatts needed to travel to any point in time. The energy produced by Mr. Fusion replaces plutonium as the primary power source of the DeLorean's time travel and flight capabilities, allowing the characters to bypass the arduous power-generation requirements that the plot of the first film hinged upon. It is never mentioned what Doc Brown did with the remaining plutonium, or if he used it all during unseen trips after he leaves Marty near the end of Back to the Future part one.

My brother has a DeLorean. He has had it since he bought it in 1982. I haven't gotten to drive it very often, he did leave it in my care for about a month once. I was in charge of keeping it charged and to drive it around the block/neighborhood a couple times.
The first thing you will notice if you ever have to sit in one, it isn't like a normal U.S. car. It feels like you are sitting on the ground and more like you are sitting in a lounge chair rather than a car. I was told it is kind of how most of the european sports cars are.
The next thing you will notice is how many people will stop what they are doing in order to get a look at the car. I actually had people follow me home to look at the car. I also had a car of 5 high school/college girls pull along side of me yelling how they love me and flashing their breasts at me (yes it did happen). If they had actually seen the driver, in my 40s and balding, I doubt they would have done that. There was a car show in town. Someone had the new ferrari on a street near my house. There were like 4 or 5 people gawking at it. When I drove by, they left the ferrari and came right over to the Delorean.
It is a FUN car. It isn't really a fast car. It only has a V6 in the back and that isn't even very powerful. But if you want a car that will attract crowds and dont have $100k, this is the car for you. They really are not that expensive. They remanufacture Deloreans now with original parts and they sell them for new for about $40k (errmmm...looks like they went up quite a bit, now $60k). http://www.delorean.com/index.asp
If I had the money, I would definately have one of these for cruising around town.
I have a couple pictures I took of it. I will try to find them and post them here.
-
i have seen them on the streets before. once near venice beach, la, and the other time it was round this neck of the woods in london.
a few years ago there was a small sized car show near the shopping centre in our area, and we were out shopping when we came across the de lorean and the a-team van.
since i always carry a camera with me, of course there were some silly photos...
edit: ahaha... the guy in the background was looking at me thinking, "wtf is this guy doing??" ::)

I'm sure one day I'll have it ::) ... it's like an arcade game... keep the faith... be on the right place, on the right time... and hope to have enough money at that moment ::) That's what happened when I got my Galaxian Theater or the Computer Space for example... but here, it's far more money :oops: ...

Wow... thanks for the story Brian. You are very luck... you tasted the power of the DeLorean, I mean in terms of 'Attraction' ;) Like you say, I'm sure this car will attract more people than a 'common' Ferrari... It's not a matter of money... The DeLorean is such an Icon :)
Yes, It would be great if you can find back the pictures Brian :-*

Hi Bruno,
Did you ever see my Delorean? I searched 3 years for a back to the future spec which is Manual, 1981, with greay leather, there were 3 different bonnets, totally flat, one with the ripple, and one with the ripple and gas tank flap, I say ripple, I dont know what the two Lines are called that run down the bonnet.
I searched for 3 years to get one that was unmolested original mint condition, mine had done 6,000 miles from new, I imported it from the USA, look at the pictures in the link, the inside looked like it had never been sat in, the car was and still is the best example of a Delorean iv seen, apart being part of my favourite film, the brushed stailess steel is truly amazing, and when I picked it up from the local shipping port I couldnt believe the height of it...its so low, I drove it home with trade plates, there were people honking me, pionting, calling, guys hanging out of vans to see, it was surreal.
Unfortunatly I had to sell it last year to finance my house I am building, I regrete it, but some times we have to prioritise.

Little trivia piece... did you know that the Mr. Fusion was actually a Krups Coffee Maker?
More trivia... the front tires are smaller than the rear tires. It means you cant rotate the tires.
More tidbits.... The windows are very tiny. About 6 inches high. Just enough to stick your arm out of to pay tolls. For drive throughs you have to open the gull-wing door.
One more tidbit.... the door opens in less space than a normal car door.

wow, great photos.
whenever you step into the car, do you feel the urge to go 88mph?? :lol:

Awesome !!!
I love this car :-* :-* Thanks for all these images :spaceace:
-

When you sit in it, it feels like you are going fast because of how low it is. The shifter knob is kind of in a wierd place. It takes a little getting used to since it is kind of up high. The reverse is a "pita" to find too.
I dont remember, but I think the spedo only went up to 85mph (Finny: since you owned one you should know). The 6cyl really didn't make it a speedy car...

thats only 140 km/h, thats certenly not fast
my 100 hp diesel seat ibiza runs 185 km/h and i still had a little space under the pedal....
i was thinking this was a faster car with 6 cilinders and 130 hp

Yes Jason, I knew you have this beautiful car, but I've never seen the pictures of it. Wow :o She looks like new :-*
It's been a while I had the idea to buy one, but sadly, I asked you too late... already sold :'(
Maybe the new owner will sell it one day ::) And so, I would like to be the first in line ;)
It's funny to see that we all follow the same path (who says 'LifeStyle'?) here : Dragon's Lair ... Arcade games ... "Back To The Future" ... De Lorean ::) 8) ;D

It turns out that the US gov mandated 85mph speedometers. Supposedly it was tested and the car tops out at 121mph.
Still funny that they chose 88 mph for the time machine to work. No wonder they had a digital gauge for the movie that showed 88. The speedo would have only shown 85....
Someone posted that they hit 60 in about 9 seconds and 100 in about 23 seconds. The 60mph in 9 seconds sounds about right. I never did take it over 75mph.

in the movie the meter goes until 95..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/speedometer.jpg)

Did a search on the inet and verified that the original speedo only went to 85. It was a gov mandate that limited the speedo from showing higher (remember max speed at that time was 55mph). Even my 85 trans am only had an 85mph speedo.
They must have replaced the one in the movie to a non standard one. DMC now sells ones that show up to 140mph.

It never was a fast car and that was one of the things that made it fail. That and poor quality and too high price.
I still love it though. Also Etienne, it's not really fair to compare a 1981 car with current model car. Let's compare it with a 1981 Diesel...... I remember my first company car was an Opel Kadett 1.6 diesel (no turbo's, let alone common rail, high pressure fuel injection etc. etc.). It didn't go any faster than 130 km/h. It took ages to actually reach that speed and it sounded like a John Deere.

hahahahaha ;D ;D ;D
I need to agree with you , its not fair to compare my 2007 car with a 25 year older car
but still i expected more from this (in that time) futuristic looking car 8)
-
You are right about that. If you see it you expect it to be a sports car. It even has a V6 so you'd expect a bit more power from it. It's still a very very very cool car and I'd LOVE to drive it one time (if I fit) :P
I think there's only one other classic car that I would prefer to have above the DMC and that's a NSU Ro-80.
(http://www.autoscoops.eu/files/nieuws/2008/11/nsu-ro80.jpg?)
There's just something about the design that keeps it modern even now....

It still has it's original 80's license plates so it was imported into Holland back then.....

What a kind of nasty idiot paint a DeLorean ??
this car is 1 of 50 ever build "middle east" dmc cars. they was sold to the middle east, dubai. my car was from 1982-2009 in the desert of middle east, that was why the car calls "the desert delorean". the red paint is from a former owner, a paintshop. terrible. >:(
If you need parts , let me know .. maybe I can help you
many thanks! I would gladly accept the offer. :) because many parts from car be missing, and any parts are damaged, like windshield and more... :'(
-
I'm nearly 20 years in the "US-Car business" ..
Maybe I can help ..
Diagnostics, spare-Parts and repair ....
What I can't find here, can be found in USA. I've got some good connections there who are all in the "mobile-business"
So we bring your DMC on the road again ..
Wanna restore him all original or do you want to "tune up" a little bit ..
This car needs an engine .. too less engine for too much weight. Think about an V8 conversion :-)

Lol, true. ;D

but it's not necessary that you need 200 Miles to reach that speed ..
Or you might be pushed by a train .. that sucks .
88 Miles in maximum 200 meters .. that will be ok ..

No.....a DeLorean is not "just" a car...

Ok.. I don't really like it too, but a DeLorean is a Dream, made of stainless Steel !

guys, it's only a car ... :P

Last night I saw Nike made a limited edition run of BTTF sneakers. Would be a great match with this car. They sell them by bidding though. And they don't come with self-closing laces.

LOL guys, nice comments... ;D ;D ;D
@bruno & level42: i think of you guys, if i want to sell this car... :wink:
I do not think I ever sell the car, but never say never...
@Ully: typical teacher... ;D :wink:

That's excellent because I don't think I will ever let the SW cockpit go. So never is good time to swap them ;)

St Patrick's day Parade occurred this past weekend (here in Canada) .. and one of the groups in the parade was the "Canadian DeLorean club" - the connection to St Patrick's is that the DeLorean was build in Ireland!
There were about 8 cars in total .. most look the same, except for one .. which was GOLD instead of SILVER!

A german skateboard company from cologne called Robotron (very nice name :)) produced a skateboard that was designed like a hoverboard
(http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyfatzp27n1r9lxyho1_400.jpg)
Unfortunately it is not available anymore. I would love to have one :)
Pic is from http://www.robotronskateboards.com/tagged/Galerie/page/3
They have other boards with some arcade related designs, for example those
(http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly03sjpFwF1r9lxyho1_r1_400.jpg)
I have the one on the right :)

I'll order a hover-board in 2015.

I went last week to the garage to repair the lights of my car.
I entered the workshop... and I recognized the Delorean from the guy who live close to me (see the previous pictures starting from here (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=859.msg17937#msg17937) in this post) :P :arrow:
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum3/delorean.jpg)
I asked the mechanic what's wrong with the car? It has some electrical problems to fix...Nothing serious he said, but he's waiting for some parts...
I'm still in loooooooooove :-* :-* :-*
-
This is an unbeatable beauty, every detail was designed professional and great looking!
-
It´s an Icon yes, but it´s power to weigh ratio should be bad... they pot to much iron in there instead of more exotic materials..
-
Well, I guess owning a Delorean is my destiny! ::)
Yesterday, I had to go back to that garage, and guess what? That Delorean was still there :o :-* :arrow:

I hope for the Delorean owner his car is parked inside the garage during the night! Because a such car, alone in the dark night, in this *not to safe* zoning...
As you can guess, I asked the garage owner to try to negotiate that car with the owner for me! He know now I want it badly 8)
The first thing I said to him was : "I WANT THIS CAR!" ;D

Nice pics, hope to see you in one of these with a cab on the top one day. :D

I'm just wondering if that key fits to that lock. ;D

Mmmm, just checked my DMC key, looks different ;D

OMG Bruno .... deal done? :o
Unfortunately not yet... :oops:
Damn, I see that car too many time at this auto garage! I've asked what's wrong this time with the car .... and once again, electrical problems! :?

Hey, it's not easy to keep the power at 1.21 GigaWatts.....

You should MAME it also, hahahahaha. ;D

Cool ! ......but if you are painstakingly searching exactly the right type and color of wires, then why use white LEDs for the flux capacitor etc. ? There were no white LEDs in 1985.....
O whatever...I guess they want it to run "forever" if it's going to be kept on display at Universal Studios.... :D
Very cool to follow ! :)
-
Extremly cool, I'm glad that we have at least one Delorean in our community. :D

It is a beautiful car, yes. But, as with women when in the heat of the battle - can she duck?
Has anybody driven this car at all?

My stepmother came across one on a parking lot in UK last month.
She said every guy around were feverishly taking pictures of the car :)
The owner told her he bought it on ebay and was "incredibly lucky" ;D
