Our buddy Dan Wilson (3503 lbs of Trouble) made the front page of the "Cars" section. A very good article about his DeLorean.
A lot of you might not know Dan but he owned a C3 for years. I predict he will own another Vette someday. He still loves Vettes and shows up here on the Forum or an event occassionally. --------------------  2009 cyber gray C6 coupe, Z51, A6 1966 Laguna blue C2 coupe numbers matching 300HP 327 4spd 2002 white/black C5 convertible (gone but not forgotten) 2006 black C6 coupe, Z51, A6 (gone as well) |

QUOTE (Eddie44 @ Jul 29 2007, 07:56 AM) Our buddy Dan Wilson (3503 lbs of Trouble) made the front page of the "Cars" section. A very good article about his DeLorean. A couple things from the article I must correct. #1, I'm not an Engineer as the article states, although I work with and for several conducting their testing and collecting data. I was very specific with the writer about that, but somewhere along the way the Republic gave me a promotion. I'm still catching (good natured) crap at work for it. #2, I do not own a '98 T-bird. No such car exists since there were out of production that year. I do, however, own a '97 that is still getting me everywhere I need to be after 141K miles. The T-bird has taught me something valuable as of late, and that's how to pick up a wrench. Wish I'd had that confidence when I had the C3. I would have saved a ton! I miss the '79 Vette. Eddie, you're right. I will drive a Vette again. 'Till then I have a few around work that keep me busy. One is "blue", and it's quite a "devil". Dan W. |
