DELOREAN OWNERS ASSOCIATION Recently there has been a major change in the management of the DeLorean Owners Association. With that change comes a new direction. I realize that this forum is not the most popular place for the DOA. I also realize that in the past there have been many conflicts with the board of the DOA and other leaders in the DeLorean community. As I stated, with a new Board comes a new direction and a fresh attitude. We can't change the past, but we can control our future. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Ken Baker and I am the new President of the DeLorean Owners Association. There has been a lot of chatter about the Association. I'm amazed as to how much of the comments are not true. There also have been some very useful constructive comments. I realize in the past there has been a feeling that the DOA is an elitist organization. As DeLorean enthusiasts, we want to work to bring the DeLorean community together. We would like to hear from you, the DeLorean owner and enthusiast. As the President, my goal is to promote the legacy of John DeLorean and help preserve and promote the DeLorean automobile. The board as a team will strive to meet the needs of the DeLorean community and work to unit all DeLorean owners. I think it's important to remember that we all got into this hobby because we share a passion. I am sure no one got into it to have conflicts or animosity towards others. In the next month we are going to launch new programs that will hopefully benefit the DeLorean community. In the meantime, we hope to hear from you. In the past, there has been talk of "secret meetings" and the board was unapproachable. Those days are over. We are out here reaching out to the DeLorean community. We would like to hear from you and how to meet your needs. My email address is listed below. Please contact me directly if you would like to contribute or discuss issues, concerns, or how we as a DeLorean Club can better serve the DeLorean community and our members.
