Marty, A couple of thoughts on your posting below: On Jun 22, 2005, at 6:32 PM, wingd2@xxxxxxx wrote: > I hope you are right on this, <SNIP> I am not trying to be right or wrong about the current DOA. My statement was that nothing can be served by looking back at the problems of the past. The DeLorean community is too small to have fighting between various owners. How can we expect the DeLorean car and dream to last into the future without a positive dialog between ALL owners. > Now I'm not a current DOA member and as such have no facts to > back any of this up.

When I was a member, I remember that on a yearly basis a balance sheet was published of the club's condition. I have not taken a look at back issues of DeLorean World to see if it was in the magazine or a newsletter. > I also find it very interesting that the DOA has all of a sudden > decided to utilize their arch rival, the "DML" to try and promote > their own orginization. Fool me once, shame on you ... fool me > twice.......... You make it sound like the entire DOA was responsible for the abrasive relationship of the past. However, this situation was caused by a select few people with large voices. The financial commitment to the DOA for a three year membership and all back issues of DeLorean World is relatively small. Three years as a member of the New DOA is sufficient time to find out what kind of club the DOA will become.
