Re: The DOA



I just recieved a copy of "deloreans" in the mail today. Very good 
magazine so far. The tech write up for the door handles was pretty 
much right on. I had not thought of the electrical tape idea 
mentioned in the article. That definately would have saved me from a 
few cuts and "choice words" when working inside the doors ;>) Overall 
details and instructions were very clear.

Overall writing is an easy read, and has a pleasant tone to it. Even 
on a couple of articles that are written by someone, about even 
themsleves, I didn't really detect any egotistical tones or anything 
like that. When there was a write up either directly about someone, 
or mentioned some one in particular, I wasn't bombarded with a mini-
resume about them. The goal of the arictles seemed to be about 
getting information across. It didn't become a tribute to the writer, 
or a person in the story. An ongoing theme seems to be feedback.

Along these lines is the story about Eurofest. Very 'to the point' in 
as it had DeLorean related material. It didn't go on about 
about 'What we ate for dinner', or unrealted details about side 
excursions that were not DeLorean related. Very nice, informative 
read.

The layout is very nice, and quite professional. Of course there are 
ads from DMC Houston, but they are not overbearing. In fact, I found 
most of them to be informative! Another thing definately has to be 
the photos, and graphics. I have to give kudos, because this is the 
first time I've ever seen any kind of printed material about the 
DeLorean that does NOT contain 20 year old clip-art! It gives a 
modern look and feel to the marquee.

With that said, I'm putting in for my subscription as well!

(although I'm still scratching my head over that "Yahoo Maps" 
article...)

p.s. Is the editor's name really Jake Elwood? Or is that a pun?
