Using the flash is not a good idea .... haha ..... that will raise some eyebrows...

I was actually there to check out the Lotus Elise.
Before that, I was over at the Bently Dealership looking at the Continental Turbo R.

What am I looking at? I just see black....

OK, I enhanced the picture...It's a DeLorean. Looks like an '82, but very hard to tell. I hope that shop knows what they're doing, because the K-Jetronic fuel injection can be interesting to work on...

If the car also has a horrid sounding loud exhaust (DMC Houstin's "stage 1"), then don't worry about it. The car is falling apart and has been poorly repaired several times. It's unsafe to drive, and the owners stole it from me.

I can't quite tell, but it looks like that car has the wrong exhaust. Based on the antenna location, it's a late '82 or '83, which should have two large chromish tips. What's on there may be the single tip left over from a turbo conversion.

It was a sunny day, and my Palm's camera is only .3 megapixels

Plus we were driving the beater (Mitsu/Eagle Summit) so I only had a few seconds to get pics before the DeLorean pulled away...
