Delorean Manuals "Newbie Manual"

[jtrealty@xxxx]

Instead of creating a "Newbie" manual I think they should first of all 
get the Workshop and Parts manuals at least. Even if they themselves 
don't understand all of it at least they can refer to it and have 
their mechanic use it to familiarize himself with the car. The manuals 
also have some of the simple safety hints and many troubleshooting 
tips that can answer many of the simple questions that appear on the 
list from time to time. The manuals won't make anyone a mechanic but 
they will make an owner more knowledgeable about their car. It should 
be one of the first things they order when they first get their car 
and then place the first order for parts. Creating a "Dummies" manual 
for the Delorean is a major undertaking and there will be no reward 
for the many hours of effort that will be required. By looking through 
the archives and talking to other owners new owners will quickly come 
"up to speed". I also recomend that new owners join a local group if 
available and go to meet other owners and venders. In 5 minuetes of 
looking at a car an experienced mechanic can see things that an 
ordinary mechanic wouldn't even notice and it is not easy trying to 
help people by remote control. Nothing takes the place of hearing and 
seeing for yourself.
