If you like Deloreans you should get down to Knebworth Classic Car show on the August Bank Holiday, I think they have a big meet there and you see 9 or 10 all come in together, there are a couple who's 'party piece' is to come in with the doors up.

They are actually really shonky when you look at them close up, but still an icon.

There's one that lives just up the road from what was American Adventure. The last time I saw one on the road was around three weeks ago, we sat behind it on the M1. And I also saw one (its probably the same one tbh lol) driving past my work near Derby city centre around four months ago. All in all....more sightings of these than 3dr cossie's this year for me
