Dear members of the Delorean owners club:

Re: The `501' Weekend

PLEASE HELP! This is the NEW update concerning the film shoot 
for `501'. We are currently three weeks away from the shoot, which is 
scheduled to take place in Wolverhampton on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 
4th of May.

I have just spoken to Martin Gutkowski and Phil Peters and they have 
mentioned some names of other members who may be interested in coming 
for the `501' weekend. So if you are one of these people please drop 
us a line on the e-mail or give us call to discuss any special needs 
or questions that you may have. If you are not on the list and want 
to be involved please also get in touch.

Martin has also informed me that Darren Bowker the mechanical 
specialist who attended the meeting at Stephen Strelczak's house in 
Bath, will be with us during the weekend. His expertise helped many 
of the members fine tune their vehicles and offered general 
maintenance advise. His presence alone should offer a great incentive 
to those members who have not yet had the opportunity to meet him.

New names offering support for the weekend:

Chris Parnham (club secretary)
Andy Snell ( + DMC-12 chassis)
Darren Bowker (DMC-12 mechanical specialist) 
Richard Johnstone
John Hanely
Christopher Hawes
Paul ??? (met with Phil Peters at the meeting this weekend)

If any of the above information is wrong or if I've spelt anybody's 
name incorrectly, please accept my apologies.

Current confirmed support from:				

Martin Gutkowski
Dan Willis
Dave Woodyard
Phil Peters

This brings the total number of cars to 9.

PLEASE, WE NEED ALL OF YOUR HELP TO GET MORE!!!!!!!!

Last week I met up with Phil Peters and he came to see the proposed 
location. I was really impressed with the optimism he shared in 
realising the potential for this project. The industrial estate 
proposed is large and secluded and is surrounded by great motorway 
accesses for all areas of the country. It should make a fantastic 
venue for a Delorean Owners Club meet. The space is available for two 
days. This means everyone can enjoy a relaxing day on the Saturday 
using the facilities as they wish and the Sunday will be reserved for 
filming. Both Martin and Phil have indicated possible accommodations 
in the local area and I know Phil's place is next to a great country 
pub. If I can possibly fit more people in my house after the cast and 
crew I will, even if it means me sleeping in a tree in the garden!

There will be a cameraman available to shoot digital footage of your 
vehicles and this can be compiled into a great souvenir of your time 
with us. The Sunday will also provide the unique opportunity to see 
your Deloreans filmed on professional, industry standard film 
equipment. Each member participating will have access to the finished 
film for your enjoyment.  

4 cars is a great start and we really appreciate this support but we 
need more, between 8 and 15 would be amazing. The warehouse space is 
considerable and the fewer the number of vehicles the less the impact 
will be. We would hate to miss this extraordinary opportunity.

Also when I visited Phil, he showed us a DVD of various documentaries 
regarding John Delorean and the DMC factory in Belfast. My Art 
Director found this footage to be really useful. If anyone has access 
to a DVD burner and a copy of the footage I would be grateful if I 
could get hold of a copy. Any expenses incurred such as the blank 
disk and the postage will be gladly refunded.

Yours Sincerely

Ben Hopkins (Producer)

DIRECTOR'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Dear Delorean Owners Club members:

As my Producer has outlined above, we are still in need of extra 
support in regards to the turnout of Delorean DMC-12 cars over the 
aforementioned weekend period, however we also require additional 
support in terms of props and `set dressing' items for both the 
warehouse and office facilities in Wolverhampton. The Art Director 
and myself have discussed in great detail a ideal `wish list' in 
terms what we need to appropriately dress these locations, however, 
some items remain elusive and difficult to obtain; this is where you 
come in!

I am looking for specific items that could be borrowed from you for 
the duration of the weekend shoot, being returned to you safely and 
without damage upon the completion of filming. The items are as 
follows:

1. Schematic DMC-12 automobile diagram / blueprint (A1-A0 size 
preferred)

2. DMC-12 spare tyres / wheels (clean condition preferred)

3. DMC branded stationary / branded office goods (anything and 
everything!)

4. High resolution prints / photographs (black and white and / or 
colour depicting factory, workers, staff, DMC-12 automobiles, 
advertising photo's, etc; these will be used in the recreated DMC 
office as small wall mounted framed pictures ? must be a high quality 
original)

5. High resolution print / photograph (colour; specifically of DMC-12 
automobile with its gull wing doors raised in all its glory; this 
image will be scanned and scaled up to A1-A0 size, or larger, for use 
as the main focal point within the recreated DMC office space ? must 
be a high quality original)

If you could provide any of these items, or know somebody who can, 
please get in contact with either myself or Ben Hopkins as soon as 
possible.

I am also looking to track down the original type font for the `DMC' 
logo and the separate `Delorean Motor Company' heading. I understand 
that these are comprised of two entirely different and individual 
fonts. If anyone could give me the names of these fonts, or better 
still provide me with a compatible true type font for use on a 
computer, I would be more than grateful. With this information I hope 
to be able to generate some embroided `boiler suit' badges, featuring 
the livery logo and type font, for the workers on the factory floor. 
Any information regarding this would also prove extremely useful.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and all your 
continued support.

Yours Sincerely,

A.D.Holt (Director)
