     I flew out to see it, drive it, and talk with the owner. I bought it that June and had it shipped directly to Rob Grady to be prepped for the AZ summers.  The car came from the PO with a chromed Island Twin Turbo kit installed. I had Rob install my custom wheels and spacers, one of the two-off Dakota Digital Dashes I had commissioned, and had everything tuned, replaced, repaired to make it perfect. Rob did his job and did it very well. I received the car in AZ in June of 2002, just days before the DeLorean Car Show in Memphis, TN. I drove across country and back with no incident and took home the Unpainted Modified trophy.
        Since then the car routinely places first with a second this year at the Arizona Britain World of Wheels show. Most recently at the Arizona MG car club show in October of 2004 I garnered first place in the DeLorean category, beating out two immaculate DeLoreans with half the mileage that my car has. I've modified the car even further to include LED underbody lights, halo halogen headlights, cat's eyes, interior switches to control the above and interior blacklight and ropelight, a starter button and guarded toggle to prevent unwanted starter grinding, a Sony Explod sound system powered by 1300 watts, 3 amplifiers, and 14 speakers, LED third brake lights and turn signals, an FM 2-mile remote start pager alarm system complete with chaser LED's (installed by TIMMAY) and the culmination of work to be complete sometime in early 2005: a custom fiberglass lighted rear valence by Evil Dan himself. Will I ever be done? Hmmm, good question. I am not really sure. One thing I can tell you, while she's a work in progress, I'll fly by you in the daytime with the turbos spooling, dazzle you with the light show at night, and I'll ALWAYS have time to give you a ride.
