[DMCForum] Re: Newly acquired DeLoreans

["mw98gt" <mw98gt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am new to the board and bought mine around 2 months ago.  Bought 
it from a guy in Houston.  It has been highly maintained.  
Everything runs great and have yet to put an extra dime in it except 
for SS bumper letter inserts.  I wanna add the DMCH lowering springs 
and lockzilla in the near future, the launchers would be cool too, I 
want to see a video of them in action.
