Tom & All, Before we "beat up" the DOA be aware that my comment was not to infer that the DOA was placing any restrictions on the use of their photo. What I should have said was: "you should ask for their permission before publication." DeLorean World did an excellent job on the battery belt graphic and they should get credit for any republication of their materiel; i.e. "DeLorean World Magazine" or "Photo Supplied By .." at the bottom of the picture. I've been a member of the DOA for over 15 years and wouldn't want to tarnish my reputation in any way. All of the preceding are my personal comments and have no connection with the administrators or staff of the DeLorean Owners Association or "DeLorean World Magazine". PS: Tom; sorry that I may have misled you.
