I have read with great interest all the messages about the Delorean Owners Assc. I am one of the longest owners of a Delorean on this list. I have owned #3513 since Feb of '82. In the early days we still had dealers and than they faded when the company failed. There was not a lots of places to get Delorean information in those days. I joined the DOA and they put out a small magazine called the gull wing. I still have all the copies of these early magazines, it was not really a magazine as we now have but 6 to 8 pages printed in black and white with very few pictures, however for the early owners it was about all we had. They gave great information on how to fix all the bugs that our cars had, and I have kept up my membership all these years. I know that some people on this list have hard feeling towards the DOA but for us old timers they were a bright light and provided much needed help. Yes now we have much better groups and slicker magazines but thanks to people like the DOA, Grady's, Delorean one, and people like Don Steger, Stephen Wynn our automobile is still on the road. I try to support all of our vendors and the groups, I have to give a great big thank you to the DOA for the work they have done in helping keep our cars on the map. This is my two cents and yes I agree we all may need to keep those two cents to buy gas.
