Several years ago, when I was driving my first DeLorean, I parked
in Carmel and when I returned to my car I found I was between to
others. The car in front was "ENTRPD" and behind was "SNIFFF". I felt
a little out of place with my ordinary Oregon plates. My present
plates are "AUSMTH". The old plates on this one were "XTINKDL" ( CA).

My speedo cable has broken is it hard to replace and where could I
get one. I live near Belfast so postage will no doubt affect the price.
Thanks in advance.

I have been to my local Toys 'R Us, and have looked for the DeLorean toys as
mentioned. I did indeed find the FAST LANE brand of cars, and in the DOUBLE
VALUE PACK as stated. However, I could not find a single package with a
DeLorean in them. It was stated that there was a black Trans Am packaged
with the car, and I did find several packages with a black Trans Am inside,
but again, none of them were packaged with a DeLorean. The price was even
correct -- only $.99 per pack of two cars. Anyway, then I moved on to the
other FAST LANE configurations, including the "25 CAR GIFT PACK" and even
the "50 CAR GIFT PACK", but still, there was no DeLorean among any of those
cars.
For the record, the FAST LANE brand is indeed a Toys 'R Us brand,
Copyrighted 1991 by Geoffrey, Inc. So I'd assume that they are exclusive to
that chain of toy stores.
Seeing how this line of toys has been around nearly five years or so, I
guess that's why most of us cannot find the particular package containing
the DeLorean. If anyone does find an abundant source for them and can part
with a few, please contact me for immediate payment. Thanks!

I was thinking about purchasing a DMC-12 and modifying it a tad[even though
not recommended, but it won't be anything undoable!!!] Is there anyway to
upgrade the exhaust system to make it sound more deep and throatier, as well
as tuned???
All help appreciated!,

My factory power antenna has gone to the great antenna heaven in the sky.
I took it apart last night and discovered that the plastic cable was
broken, so I assume that I need a new mast. The mast is stamped with the
name HARADA and a number 1126. After contacting Harada, they can't tell
me which antenna was used on the DeLorean, and the 1126 is evidently some
sort of production code and not a model number. Does anyone know a
correct model number for a black Harada power antenna mast? Thanks!
