I apologize for this post but as you will see I have little choice. I received an e-mail from edition owner 032/64 which in part threatened to post "his analysis" of what amounts to an accusation of fraud I am perpetrating on the DML. The only solution I can see at this point is to post the e-mail first. Every one has to make up their minds for them selves. For the record, I am as I have said changed the way I am fulfilling my edition commitment as follows. I am creating all the parts and bits required to assemble the remaining 55 kits or so. When the assembly is completed, all editions will be shipped just as quickly as possible. Shipping methods have been changed as a result of an edition owner attempting to get and sell a replacement kit. Be for I just shipped by UPS insured, Now each kit will require an adult signature - which means a re verification of the shipping address. The owner of edition 032 is the last refund that will be made. The reason is simple and easy to understand, the edition reserves I held to make refunds was used to purchase the remaining materials for the balance of the edition. So far every one who has received their edition has had nothing but good things to say about their editions. There is no question that this whole project has taken way to long, cost way to much....maybe this is an echo from the Delorean past?.....with this difference......If you have paid of an edition then you will get an edition. The project has in some ways taken over my life, every evening after supper I spend most of my time working on the kits. I have done little else this year. When there is time I make a few keys, which take very little time, but as any one who has gotten them from me, can wait quite some time. I don't wish to start a debate or waist DML space with this new latest attack on my limited edition. Nor do I feel the need to comment past this : Every time some one feels the need to attempt to force me to just drop every thing and do their kit, it just delays all the kits, I could have gotten a pair of gullwing doors or a hood done in the time I have spent on this post. No one is being cheated out of their money, every one who owns a kit will get it, when it does finally arrive, and you open it and see that every thing I have posted was as I said it was, perhaps you will appreciate just how much time and effort goes into producing each and every kit. As I posted to former owner #032 attacking me, threatening to expose me, insisting I drop every one else's edition and create his edition is simply a waist of time. I have changed how I will execute the edition. Like it or not thats how it is. I am coming to the point where I don't care what any one else wants or likes. I intend to finish my work and distribute the edition the way I see fit. Frankly I am fed up with all the petty crap I have gotten so far. I thought that DeLorean owners were a cut above the rest! but I see that I was wrong. The analysis, if you can call it that, meant to expose me as a fraud and a thief follows....... --------------------------------------Starts here------------------------------ In my profession -law, I don't take a retainer promising prompt sevices and then neglect them when later someone else comes along wih a more recent check. Maybe thats ok with you, but I daresay many would agree with me. We have a contract,paid in full at your request, which you cannot break at your whim just because you diagree with my use of the word" excuse". Your performance is way past due and a refund on a contract for a unique work of art such a this justifies damages against you which are either the difference of what the contract price is and what the present market for a kit is ($400-$1000+) or the cost of having duplicated a like kit including the edition factor etc. You claim no profit but have also stated that the revenue is paying for the casing equipment. Noone qustioned your price or your right to a profit. We agreed to whatever price you asked and paid in good faith. There was nothing said or reserved to surcharge us for more shipping based upon your sending a second kit to soneone or their alledged dishonesty. Finally I have read your annoucements, your kit website, and all your DML posts about the duplicate kit problem and you have never said that you were waiting to finish all of the kits before sending any more out. There is no justifable reason for that. except to keep the remaining purchasers in the dark for even a longer time. Unless you reconsider, the DML and whoever else should know my analysis of this will know and I will pursue any and all remedies I have according to law.
