The "new" DeLorean World

Hey List,
Just got my copy of the latest issue of DeLorean World, or "DW magazine"
as it's now apparently called. Found a new "travel brochure" like
format, and more pages, but amazingly there was not a single word
covering the best and largest DeLorean gathering ever. I'm
dumbfounded. I couldn't wait to read the coverage concerning all
the exciting things that we got to experience first hand in
Memphis....but there wasn't a single word on it, unless you count the
Editor's comments, and I quote...
"While other owners are sitting around faded, asphalt parking lots
talking about how "cool" there car looks..."
What "other" owners is Mr. Bernstein talking about? A good
lot of the owners in Memphis, including me, were DOA members...and I use
the word WERE very carefully!
The car and the owners seem to have taken a back seat, (make that
luggage rack) in this revised magazine. Many of the pictures look like
they were taken out of Conde Nast Traveller, and then DeLoreans were cut
and
paste into them. The cover is the first example of this horrific
technique. That says to me that a DeLorean couldn't actually make it to
all those exotic destinations, so they had to fake it! I don't see how
that improves the image of the car for anyone!
Am I just being short-sighted here? Does anyone else notice anything
wrong with this new issue? Just curious.
