I rarely post to the DML but I have to relate my own experience with Marty. Last fall I was contemplating changing my shocks to improve the ride. Since Marty will be attending our tech session I thought I want to give the shocks that he developed a try. I contacted Marty and he agree to bring a set along and help me change it. At the tech session he basically changed the shocks for me and showed me how to compress the springs without using any tool but the weight of the car. The collars he developed are well machined and quality is superb. The result is - excellent ride and comfort. I am extremely happy with it. Marty is a Professional Engineer by trade and I believe his improvement on the DeLorean is strictly motivated by his interest. Like he said "He would go broke if he depend on it for a living" or to that extend. The price he charge is more than fair and the markup is hardly worth his time and effort. There is no reason that he should volunteer his information when he invested a lot of money and time on developement effort. If he choose to do that, that will be up to him but there is nothing wrong to try to recoup his development cost by marking it up. I met Marty the first time at the tech session and he is the nicest guy you want to meet. Marty, thanks for a great job. Bill Kwan #2157 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
