RE: [doc] newsletter/ subs



Chris,

I am dispirited but thats all. I'll never sell my D and I will probably buy another that is a runner in the near/middle/far future and carry on with Maddie simply as a labour of love. BUT this year has been the worst of my life. Other than breaking a leg (okay 18 months ago but I'm still suffering) I lost my job, nearly my house and daily drive only to get news that Chris N cannot repair my panels and he's emigrating early next year to the US probably PERMENANTLY! So I need to *buy* parts rather than pay less to have repairs. I mean, Dave Howarth apparantly has door skins etc but I still need a front wing, rear quarter, bonnet and a very rare, very expensive piece of fibreglass (not to mention the *maybe* on the front frame piece. It's just too much. I hardly went in to this blind but it isn't the car that's pi**ed me off!
So if I take a break and come back at it fresh you may yet see Maddie on the road... but probably not before you see me driving another car! Heh.


I wish you all a Merry Christmas - and do *me* a favour and treat your cars to something nice eh?

Paul,

You have only had your car "5 minutes" you like Martin, have got stuck in
and got the job finished ( well nearly) in record time, however, some folk
,due to lack of time or finances, or both, find their jobs dragging on for
years.....then there is a real danger of getting completely "Brassed off"
with the project.

This is not just a DeLorean thing. In my long experience of class cars, I've
seen many owners / restorers "fall by the wayside".


This is the main reason why I try and point potential new owners towards
"Running MOT'd" cars, alright you may be paying a bit more "up front" but at
least you've got a running car you can play with and improve as you go
along. Rather than a full blown restoration project.


Just my view......I hate to see nice lads like Daniel dispirited.

Chris Parnham

Did I hear some one mention FRAME ISSIUE????? I had a
small one....well medium... ok it was fairly big,
HOWEVER It can be sorted and if you want
help/advise/someone to do the work, or just a chat to
get out of the dumps give me a call.

NOTHING is impossible, and the words CAN'T BE DONE
don't exist, and thats straight from my Grandfather
:-)

Chin up
