Re: [DML] Calling All Delorean Owners in NORTH TEXAS

["Brian McCool" <bjmccool@xxxx>]

To my knowledge, there isn't any club in the DFW area, although I have seen
posts from people wanting to get something started in the past. There may
have been a chapter at one point as part of the Delorean Owners Association,
but they disbanded chapters about 10 years ago. Since John Hervey lives in
Forney and has quite the knowledge and different parts for the Delorean, he
would be a good source for some possible other owners in the area. I would
imagine there are more owners in this area than people realize, they just
might not be aware of the mailing list.
Although I don't actually have a Delorean yet, I've gathered as much info
and researched as much as possible about the man, company and car over the
last 18 years ( I need to get out more). I took my wife along with me to the
Memphis show, and now she wants one, but she wants it to be blue (that'll be
one fun paint job). If it's in print and its about a Delorean, I've probably
got a copy of the article, or the magazine itself. I live in Arlington, and
I know of at least 2 people that have or have had a Delorean.
