Good DeLorean Story

["Murray Fisher" <murrayf@xxxx>]

I have owned my car for four years now and I think like everyone else, I could write a book on fun things that have happened. 

Last year we were coming out of Wendys and I had started the car with the remote starter to pre warm it up on a cold winter day. When we got out to it a young Chinese man was looking it over. Parked near us was a huge bus. The young man asked if he could take a picture of the car and was very excited.....he went inside the bus and came out with his camera......then others followed him with THEIR cameras. They were a traveling basketball team. We were surrounded by about thirty people. I asked one if he would like to have his picture taken sitting in the car and his face really lit up. Then I offered to let the others do the same and my wife got out so two at a time could sit in it. They all spoke English and we had a blast telling about the car......The driver asked for our name and address. A couple months later we got a letter with a lot of pictures, from Beijing, China that was signed by a lot of these kids with comments and thanking us for being so nice to them. Made our day! We enjoy this type of thing and have never found any problem in showing it off like this. 

On the other hand we go to lots of car shows where there are signs "don't touch this car unless you are nude". Ho Ho. Everyone to their own poison I always say. One man next to me showing his 308 Ferrari, asked if I cared if he cleaned the fingerprints from my car as the people touched it! I usually don't even bother until the show is over. And I have gotten several first place trophys...fingerprints and all! I will admit that I am sure I wouldn't even PLACE in a DeLorean only show though.
