[non-moderator's note: Worthless idle chat follows.] Are you sure that that's not the one the second owner lost? Maybe he just THOUGHT it went out into the snow? :) I just bought one from DMC Houston (I assume it's one of Lee's reproductions) and they are really nice. Haven't had it cut yet though and I'm a little nervous about them screwing it up. What a waste THAT would be! Can't wait to see the ones with the lights in them. --Rob Hook ----- Original Message ----- From: <billschaferabn@xxxx> To: <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 11, 2000 8:25 PM Subject: [DML] Hidden treasure-Good Delorean Story > > > When I bought my car I was disappointed when the previous owner informed me > that he had somehow dropped his original key in the snow and lost it.
