I heard a story like that from the other side of the fence when my 
friend Dave worked for BMW. They got a shitty letter from someone who 
had tried to buy a new M5 and was told to go away because he was in a 
t-shirt and jeans. Bought it from another BMW dealer in the next town.

I saw on TV once an independent exotic dealer say thet he never refuses 
anyone because he has in the past sold cars to people who looked like 
they could be sleeping in a cardboard box, then paid Â100,000 in cash 
the same day for a car.

I have taken that attitude on board. I get a lot of requests on e-mail 
for DeLoreans and have in the past entertained strings and strings of 
mails with people I was fairly convinced were wasters, only to suddenly 
receive a couple of grand in orders.

One of the youngest DeLorean owners in the UK bought his car from us. He 
just walked in one day with his friend looking every inch the student. 
He now drives it every day and loves it to bits, and has become a good 
friend too. It's the second car he has ever owned (I won't embarrass him 
by telling you the first but suffice to say it ain't big or fast!) and 
fell on his feet with a good job, so wanted to buy his dream car.
