Re: NEC show this weekend past

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

Like any other car make you will find Deloreans in all sorts of
condition. After many years some are in disrepair from age and
incompetant mechanics who use "wrong" parts. Others are just neglected
and stored outside. When a "new' owner gets one they generally try to
improve the condition. Many times they find they are "getting in over
their head" in time and expense so they stop. Here in the US you see
the whole gamut from pristine trailer queens to the ones that you
wonder why they are still running. It gets expensive to get and keep
one in really nice shape. With enough patience and money you can make
even the worst looking one very nice but it is ALWAYS faster and
cheaper to buy the best one you can and then fix it up. Of course it
helps if you are handy and can do much of the labor yourself but not
every owner can do that.
