The sole purpose of my posting was to try and put things in perspective. It seemed that a few folks were getting a bit uptight and forgetting that this is supposed to be a fun and relaxing hobby, not war. We should all hope for a huge turn out at Ken's event, he's been working hard on this for a long time and we will all benefit from his efforts. It's great to get together and shoot the poop with other DeLorean owners and have some fun looking at cool cars. I for one am extremely grateful to Ken for his work, and DMC Houston for spending their time and money to create the judging manual. Regardless of where you choose to purchase your parts, this is a small community and it does not pay to sling crap. One thing 9/11 has taught me is not to sweat the small stuff. I look forward to meeting everyone in Memphis. Daniel Deutsch (Orlando version) #3356 & #15779
