Back in 1980,when I was looking to buy my first sports car,I had very few avenues,to search for information,I settled on wanting to buy a Bricklin(no Deloreans around yet)but any info on the car was almost non-existant,so I bought my Bricklin not having information on the company history or wheather the Bricklin was a Lemon to own,compaired with today you can get all the information you want from the Internet,even the past history of the car you want to own,that is why when I bought my first Delorean project car I joined the DOA,there was no place else for support if you owned a Delorean that needed work or restoration,DMC1 was no help in tech support unless I was going to buy something from them(1981-1987)I dropped out of the DOA,because at the last get together all the people that put the meeting together were more or less interested in selling their Delorean trinkets (sweat shirts, cups,DOA stuff ect ect)and it turned me right off,and not about the car in itself ((chapter 13 Massuchettes),and the fact you had to wait 3 months to read about what was going on in the "DELOREAN WORLD" then for a long while I was on my own until I discovered the DML in early 1997 and I have never missed reading the DML since,no more waiting three months to read what is going on in the "DELOREAN WORLD"or having to figure out a problem on my own,or relizing that some of the problems were common on the Delorean that is what the DML has done in in the short years it has been around unlike DOA after almost 15 years of "being there for the Delorean owner" I had learned most of the Quirks of the Delorean on my own,with not much help from the "club",since 1997 I have learned more about the Delorean thru the DML and othe Delorean Web Sites than all of the time of being in a Delorean Club.
