Hello! Where is everybody? The UK sucks at electric vehicles.

deloreanmonkey, how far along are you on the DeLorean conversion. If you need any help, just let me know.

Delorean! Nice choice. I have an Alpine A610, I think they used the similar PRV V6 engine as yours. (Not that you’ll be needing that anymore!) I’ve always found those old DMC’s run best with a mister fusion setup. Ha ha, sorry the old jokes are always the best. Anyway I plan to sell my Alpine to buy a Honda insight to convert. Trouble is, nobody’s buying sports cars at the moment what with the credit crunch and all that. Plus I don’t have a garage. It’s not fair I want an EV NOW!
