I never accused Ken of doing the show for profit, however I feel bad
thinking that he is
not making money off it considering the time put in.
DeLorean owners are not in need of charity, this a hobby of luxury and
entertainment
and too me I would rather spend an hour with Bill Collins and the prototype
than
most any other concert I can think of.
If David Lee Roth came out on stage riding on Elvis's shoulders to have a
mud wrestling
match with Sammy Hagar and Van Halen, and the Beatles were the commentaors
and John F. Kennedy was the referee, .... I would blow it off to go to a
DeLorean show.
'nuff said.
