I too found my DeLorean on the Internet.  Traderonline.com to be exact.  I 
had talked to several peopl I saw selling DeLoreans on the net before I 
bought mine.  The gentleman I bought mine from lived in Michigan and I live 
in NJ.  So needless to say I couldnt go look at it before I decided to buy 
it.  The best thing is to try to establish a good rapport with the seller.  
The gentleman I bought my DeLorean from seemed like a very honest gentleman.  
When I asked for pictures of the car, he in turn sent me a video he made 
detailing the entire car and also driving it.  He showed me the entire car in 
both night and day.  Even pointing out the two minor things that needed to be 
fixed.  The car only had 7500 miles.  In any case I believed I had attained 
enough from the video and my talks with the owner to "trust" him enough to 
decide to buy the car sight unseen.  I drove to Michigan in one day (13 
hours), stayed overnight, and rented a U Haul car trailer to tow the DeLorean 
home with the nest day.  Everything went great and the seller even helped me 
with getting a hotel room for the night and paid for the trailer rental.  
Bottom line is try to find someone you can trust and establish a good 
relationship with them before buying anything "sight unseen". There will 
always be uncertainties.  However this along with becoming as knowledgeable 
about the DeLorean as you can before buying one is the best prevention for 
getting a lemon there is in my opinion.

I also bought mine through the internet.  I found it on traderonline also, 
from a dealer in Orlando.  The guy told me everything that it needed to have 
done to it, and in some cases, exaggerated some of the conditions worse than 
they really were.  I didn't get to see it until they shipped it to me, but 
was pleasantly surprised!!

Last month I submitted a story and won the contest that Michael Babb was
having on his web site. I received the posters today and I will say that
Michael has done a fantastic job with the posters that he has created. If
you have not taken a look at his posters, do so at:

Merry Christmas Group Members,

While driving my D yesterday I noticed that occasionally when applying the 
gas the vehicle backfired as if it wasn't getting any fuel.  However this was 
intermittent.  At no time did it stall and sometimes when the gas was 
pressed, normal operation resulted.  Could someone point out any weaknesses 
in the system?  Is it the fuel pump or maybe a better question would be where 
to start looking for problems.   Since I am not mechanically inclined could 
you tell me where to tell my mechanic to start. Thanks and thanks for all of 
your help this year.

Rich
