Re: [doc] Sad I couldn't make it to the NEC...

["Daniel Willis" <danielpwillis@xxxx>]

You gotta ask yourself these "What if" questions.. IF the Delorean stayed in 
production it'd probably not have been used in BTTF... or maybe it's 
successor would have been.
I very much doubt I'd own one if it weren't for that film.... and you gotta 
admit that it's history - not the doors - is why a lot of us like them. 
They're rare, unusual and most of all - unique. If they made 10 million.. 
well, it'd be a Ford Mondeo!

And who else can say "Drive Stainless!" eh?

Mine is stock too.. and staying that way.
