The winter nights are here, the weather is depressing and you probably had to scrape ice off of your car windscreen this morning. All in all, Christmas notwithstanding, December is a pretty miserable month.But think how much better it would be if you had a brand new car made from stainless steel!
Yes, the DeLorean is back!
Like a phoenix from the flames, the DeLorean Motor Company has arisen, Lazarus like, from its own ashes and it's business as usual, only this time it's in Texas and not Dunmurray in Northern Ireland.
The DeLorean DMC-12 has to be one of the most iconic cars ever made, right up there with the VW Beetle and the original Mini. I've stumbled upon most supercars, Bugatti Veyron and McLaren F1 included, but I've never seen an original DMC-12 in the stainless steel flesh.
It's also one of the WORST cars ever made. It was heavy, it had no power steering and very little brakes, and it only had 137 horsepower from its Renault engine, so it was about as fast as a diesel Mondeo.
But who cares?!
It doesn't need to do 200mph, it only needs to do 88!
You can configure your brand new DMC-12 on the DeLorean website and mine worked out at $67,775.35, which is around £42K.
Considering that no other car will draw attention like a DeLorean, you'd have to say that's a bargain.
Time for a letter to Santa . . .

I'd be interested to hear how he gets it down your chimney...
There's a pig flying by as I type this as I'm about to agree with you. If my six numbers came up, I may well have to get one. But I would need a Y shaped string of LEDs, running off a 9v battery and taped to a shoebox on the back shelf.
Even a Ferrari driver passing by would nod his head in acknowledgement of the big shiny wedge.
Steve - He'd have to build the chimney first.
Jaggy - This feels weird.
