D.........as I was saying, I'm looking to get a D soon but the sad 
fact is I have never actually seen one in the flesh...well steel 
really. Even though I'm from the UK I currently live in Atlanta, Ga 
and was hoping that someone who lives vaguely close to me would be 
prepared to show me their DeLorean. I know that SEDOC is close and 
hope to go but if someone can help/advise then I'd really appreciate 
it.

Hi Darren -

If you're an ex-pat Brit who remembers Tiswas, than you'd also 
probably appreciate a bit of trivia in the history of my Delorean...

Sylvester McCoy from Tiswas, who later went on to even greater fame 
as the Seventh Doctor on Doctor Who, has ridden several times in my D 
when in town for some of the celebrity/fan vacation cruise events 
that I sometimes run (once, I must sadly admit, when the air 
conditioning went out -on a warm May afternoon in Florida!) While 
doing promotions for the West Palm Beach, Florida PBS station's 
Doctor Who pledge nights, we also used my car for a gag promo that 
introduced the in studio celebrity guest, John Levene, who played 
Sgt. Benton. In it, he is supposedly dropped off at the TV studio by 
The Doctor, the unseen driver of my delorean, which then 
dematerializes to the familiar sound of The Doctor's own time 
machine, the TARDIS. Quite amusing if you know any background on 
both Doctor Who & Back To The Future....
