There are some "hidden" potential members out there we may be aware of. but have not/can not contact them. It would be interesting... I heard an interview of, I believe, Shia Labouf (sp?) stating he got to ride in his grandfather's Delorean, and greatly enjoyed it. Contact possibilities? Granted, it would be a bit unusual to get into his Fan Club web site to request his grandfather's contact info., but, hey, we own "unusual" cars! How about Lisa Swayze? I would wager she will not be getting rid of Patrick's Delorean anytime soon. Yes, she has a lot of animals to divert her mind at this time, but an organization which reveres her car might provide a different outlet for her with the car her husband enjoyed. And, last I heard, Louis Gosset, Jr. was a Delorean owner. Any posssibility of Club contact there? Yes, I know, "celebrities" are reluctant to hob-nob with the public in "mundane" organizations, but is not the Club a "Delorean" Association? It's about the car & the designer, yes? An interesting thought. Why be "normal"? Drive stainless.
