Subject: some people....
Hey all,
Last night a fellow DMC owner pointed out that there was a poster
of
my car for sale on ebay. The wheels had been digitally altered and all
the
background was erased. That "artist" was offering this as "Original
artwork
by Michael Antoine." This was actually a photograph taken of my car at
Memphis by Cindy Hamm. Below are both the original link from Cindy's site
and the now defunct auction on ebay:
http://www.kynthos10.com/memphis/b1.jpg
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3527170241&category=201
35
I emailed the seller asking who's car this was and where he got the photo
and he responded that it was from an ad online. I advised him that it was
my car and since neither I nor Cindy had authorized this print and the
fact
that he was claiming it as his own that I had contacted ebay to report
this
as fraud. Everyone will have a different opinion on how their car is to
be
used or not....but because he was lying and claiming the work as his own I
felt I had to end the lie. There was no money in this endeavor to be had,
but the fact that the person lied about where he got the photo and claimed
it was his original work really got to me so I made sure he knew I did not
give my permission for him to use my car in his work in anyway. If you
feel
a bit protective of your stuff I would advise you to watch out for things
like this.

Subject: Mats car and copyright
I felt I had to respond to this after I checked it out and I have to agree
with Matt that this photo has been lifted off the DeLorean Car Show Web
page.
As most of you know we encourage the use of the photos and materials on
the
web page but in no other case has anyone ever claimed it was original and
after
being notified continue to do so.
The seller is Zedder221
Here are some of the items I noticed that tip it off as a copy not an
original.
and is taken from the e-mail I sent him.
>From my e-mail to Zedder221
Just to indicate the similarities these are these are some of the things
we
noticed about your "Original artwork"
The shadows are the same as the photographers photo of Matts car
The door strap is in the identical location on the drivers door and
because
of shadowing you missed it on the passengers side.
The shadow on the front facia is the same
The light highlights on the drivers side rear quarter panel are the same
The lighting highlights on the drivers seat and rear compartment are the
same.
The Shadow on the windshield is the same.
You missed the door strut on the passenger side. ? Any DeLorean owner
knows
they are on the back. ? All the errors are on the area that was deleted
and
brushed back.
There is a sun deflector in the windshield (this matches the picture)
Coincidentally the shadow on the hood matches
The wheel spokes although altered the remaining ones line up exactly as
they
do on the photo.
The dark shadowing from the sun deflector is on this poster and unless it
was
the same car it is not probable it would have the same shadowing. ? In
your
photo it should not be there.
Left front fender highlights are the same.
I'd love you to prove me wrong but I don't think so.
A copy of this is also being sent to e-bay along with the photos they
already
have
I am the last person to get picky on some of this stuff but this is
blatant
copyright violation and passing it off as original is wrong. If it didn't
say
original I would not have written this.

Matt,
I want to thank you and your fellow DMC owner very much for bringing
this to my attention. I have also sent a complaint to eBay, and
just so you know, I quoted you below about your emails with
Michael. I can only imagine what his 14*11 print looked like...and
I hope that no one bought his "product" and if they did, I hope they
are dissatisfied. I will in the future be sure to put a "watermark"
on my images to help prevent this sort of fraud.
Thanks again!

Count me in! I've been looking forward to this for months. I have
one request from all DMC owners who come to London this weekend:
Please don't laugh too much at my car .... lol! Yes, it belongs in
the "You've Got To Be Joking" category, but I figure the more
Deloreans that show up, the better. All kidding aside, I encourage
everyone that is able, to come to London Ontario this Saturday.
Marvin has a lot of activities planned for us and it is sure to be a
fun-filled weekend.

Subject: Speedo Angle Drive Question
Finally autopsied speedo. Right angle grears fine (yay!). Problem is
short cable that passes through spindle. Square cimp end is unwound
and mangled. In its infinite wisdom DMC wound in opposite direction of
predominant wheel rotation. All it takes is disturbance to one strand
and cable will destroy itself from wheel movement alone.
Wheel disc is fine BTW.
I've got angle drive off car but can't figure out how to remove short
cable from its gear. Does anyone know how to separate the two? If I
can remove short cable, will replace with cut down parts house cable.
More complicated back up plan otherwise -- will post if that's what it
comes to.

Subject: RE: Re: Strange noise in enginebay
I have a hissing sound in the cabin....that I especially notice when I
pull
the car into the garage.....I thought it was coming form the a/c control
area but it may be something else. Other that the heater hose technique
are
there other ways to detect or isolate vacuum leaks?

In addition to the idler bearings, you might also want to check the
condition of the seals for the fuel injectors. On the way to
Memphis last year an owner had the retaining clip pop up, and the
seal unseated slightly, resulting in an ear piercing whistle of a
vacumme leak. I have also noticed a lesser form of this whistle on
a Maryland owner's car, and even my own 4 weeks ago when the engines
were cold. Just another thing to check.
