Hi folks! My name is Bob, and I just bought a 1981 DMC-12 on Thursday night (Sept 16th). VIN #2100 I've never strung the following words together in a sentence before, but I can now say with all sincerity: "I LOVE MY CAR!" One of the best investments I've ever made. Sure, it has it's minor flaws, but I accept the responsibility of taking care of this work of art and welcome this beautiful machine into the family. I am truly a proud owner. I look forward to exchanging questions and ideas with the group. See you on the road!
