[DML] Re: Another funny story

["Chris Parnham" <chrisparnham@xxxx>]

I had already been around all the s/hand book stalls on the Friday ( set up
day) and bought about 5 De Lorean related books, including one sales
brochure (£12) but I must agree they are so few and far between in the Uk
that most people have no idea about them. Apart of course they all think
they own a bit of it , because of the £90 odd million that we British tax
payers put into the project.
When I take my car to a local classic car show, its almost embarrassing the
way the thing is mobbed, from start to finish, when more traditional British
classic cars hardly get looked at.
