Re: [DML] Car Shows

["Walter" <Whalt@xxxx>]

When at car shows where there is more than one DeLorean present, I usually
keep my doors closed because everyone else likes to have their doors, trunk,
hood, etc. open. Personally, I think this makes the car look rather
awkward. Often times my DeLorean is the only one present with everything
closed. I think it is nice to show at least one example of what the car
should normally look like.

At one large general interest car show, I left my car closed and locked up
next to a friend's D that had everything open with his kid watching both
cars. When I came back, his kid told me that about 20 people tried the door
handles on my car trying to get it open!

As with most people, I am disappointed when I come back not to find several
fingerprints on the car. The important thing to remember is to always keep
the car very clean or a finger rub across the grain will leave a slight
scratch from the surface dust.

It is always fun to watch the car from a distance like through a restuarant
window. When people think the owner isn't around, they loose most of their
inhibitions and check the car over like it is forsale at a used car lot.
