One great source is an old textbook by Martin Stockel... Probably the best all-around auto text I've seen, and has taught me most of what I know. Just do a search on "Stockel" on eBay. Any version of the text from 1965 on up is still very applicable for the automotive basic. I just picked up another copy in hardcover for like $6 including shipping. Any automotive experience will help though, so try making friends at local car shows/cruises and just ask to watch or help when someone does some work. Most owners are happy to teach you the ropes. ________________________________ From: DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of ahobaka99 Sent: Monday, March 19, 2007 8:25 PM To: DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [DMCForum] newbie here Hi everyone, I am new to the DMC forum. I live in Toronto, Canada and I would love to own a DeLorean some day. As a person who is not technically inclined, I need to learn as much as I can before I make the commitment to buy. Short of taking an auto mechanics course, where would I start? Also, are there reputable DeLorean service centres in the Toronto area? I'd like to use the car as a daily driver but not if I have to take it to the shop every week. Thanks for all your help, D.S [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> See what's inside the new Yahoo!
