To the person in Charlotte: My family has taken every car we've ever owned to Sparks in Concord. Jim's the auto transmission specialist (if you're unlucky enough) and they all have their fields of expertise, but when you get there talk to Bobby and tell him what problem you have, and he'll steer to you the right guy for the job. (All due respect to the yougsters -- they do good work on the late-model cars, but the old guys do better with the ones they've been working on for twenty years.) If I had a DeLorean, and still live in Charlotte, I'd take it to them for all the work I couldn't do myself. Speaking of Charlotte, I'll be there for my birthday -- which is the 26th! Thanks for the tip about the get-together there ... I'll see if I can bring a canmera to remember my first encounter with a live DeLorean! (Hope you don't mind a few photos, Joe!):D Also, to those of you who requested the E! show VHS tapes and VCDs, as I will be out of town, there will be no shipment of your orders between Thursday and Feb 5th.
