To moderators: post this message please. As everyone knows I am very passionet about the D and the theory behind it. I have specific thoughts on the DeLorean. Everyone is entilted to there thoughts and opions. I do not constitue that my thoughts are right nor are they the correct theory, but that they are just that mine. I am staying part of this list to facilitae the restoration of my car and the building of another one. I am going to be buying junk parts in the next few years and building a D from the ground up. Why am I doing that? I am working on a script at the moment that will be useing a specific type of DeLorean as the centerpart of the movie. And I will be able to save another D in the process. I do everything differently. That is who I am. Probally alot of people think I'm narrow minded and a trouble maker. That is okay I guess. I have expressed my thoughts in the past. I always put my foot in my mouth it seems. I hope Ken and everyone else on this list will understand that I'm here to facile my dream and to help save a few of these cars in the process. As I said before. When there gone there gone. Parts will eventully be exausted. original OEM parts that is. Eventually there wont be many Ds left in the world. That sounds stupid but it is true. No matter how we try to preserve these cars they are going to fall apart one day. Nothing last forever. We can't forcast what will servive and what will end up crashed, smashed, on fire, storm damaged, vandelized ect and so forth. If I had the money Id buy every project D out there and bring it back to life. I don't have the money to do that. I wish I did but I dont. The theory behind me building another D out of junk parts is to build an icon to the DeLorean community. I want to take nothing and make it something. I want to try to preserve as many of these cars while we still have them. Every year theres less and less. We buy time with parts cars. We buy time with restoreing cars too. But the end result is always going to be the same. I will do my part to bring the D into more media, through books and movies. I will try to keep the vision accurate. I just want the cars to servive for as long as we can keep them alive. We have so many OEM parts it's insane. Why can't we restore the cars out there and try to save them? Ken has done his part for the comunity, I dont agree with the parting out of a D but thats besides the point. Ken and I just happened to bang heads on a subject I am very against. And I'm sorry we had to meet under that subject. I just want everyone to realize we have to keep these cars alive. Ken knows it, I know it, alot of people know it. I flew off the handel and I apoligize for makeing the DML a fireing range. I just don't want to see these cars dissapear.
