Since I myself have not read the article yet, I don't feel totally justified in commenting on it. However, I do have a few thoughts... A while ago, a few of the list members tried to get a new club off the ground to better serve the intrests of owners & enthusists alike. As I remember, the club was known as the "De Lorean Motor Club" I think. What I'd like to see is if this club (or another) could possibly get off the ground, and work with both the DML here on the internet, and with our parts suppliers: DMC Houston, DMC Garden Grove, DeLorean Services, Specialty Automotive, & P.J. Grady. And to work with the smaller regional clubs as well (Midstate, Midwest, Atlantic, SE, SW, Michigan, PNDC, Oregon, etc...). While the DML would still be free to everyone, procededs from membership dues could help pay for the internet fees. It could also be used for things such as the production chronology, gift items, conventions, and we could bring back the DMC News 'zine. More importantly though, we would be able to share info, and present the DeLorean to the rest of the world better than ever imagined, publicly! A way to encourage membership might be to keep the 'zine online with access for memebers only, but since there would be no printing costs involved, dues could be keep affordable for enthusists alike! We could also have things such as online chat sessions for members only as well, but these are things that would have to be hammered out... Even if this doesn't pan out, I think that it would be interesting for some of us DMLers to attened the next DOA meeting @ the Peterson Automotive Museum. We wouldn't be there to interupt procedings, just to listen in and see how things run. If any questions are asked, we should keep everything professional and courteous. The purpose of this is not to nessisarily run the DOA into the ground, or to even exclude it, but this is about change. It is a different world today than it was when the Association was first started, and nothing reflects that more than the DML! I think that the DOA should be given a rightful chance to work with us and FOR us as was intended. But I have a personal feeling that they will refuse to do so... Questions comments, just add an "s" into my e-mail address. -Robert vin 6585
