RE: [doc] WAS : Delorean electrics NOW : Update!

Dan,

Ally Pally is the next show. Mark / Mary..is it still the end of March?..

The spring NEC is still in the air...last years "Sports car" show was hardly
a "rip roaring " success for the organisers, although our stand was as busy
as ever.

Regards your car Dan, I cant help thinking that a nearly completed / running
car is worth more. In my book 4+1 = 6 or 7!
Still not my business. Forget "parting it out", you will get "diddely
squat" and have to wait 2/3 years for that!

Just my 4 pence.

Chris P

Subject: [doc] WAS : Delorean electrics NOW : Update!

If this is the car I looked at in Alton then yes, he got a REALLY good deal
on it! Nearly on par with yours Martin! ;o) Damn I wish I had the cash or
I'd have had that.

Top car.. welcome to the club as a "participating" member! Now you can moan
and bitch all you want! Heh. Figured out what those extra switches are for
yet? Even the owner couldn't tell me... drove nicely though.

As an update, it looks as though I'm getting my Maddie back next week.
Having spent the most part of the last week sorting various "things" out
personally I'm really really thinking about selling it either as a cheap car
(£4k all in) or part it out. Nothing other than panels needed and Chris N
can source most of them for well under a £1k! (well he could!) Bit of elbow
greece and she's road legal (albeit needing loads of cosmetics - like they
all do at some point!). Not a lightly taken decision - but I'm also looking
at emigrating with my company to Canada either late this year or early next
so I won't finish her anyway! Of course, should a miracle happen I'll keep
her (and I'm still working to finish while she's mine - she isn't being
dumped). I'm going to update the site to reflect this soon too. So if anyone
wants a really cheap fixer upper... of course you could all boycot me and
I'll be "forced" to finish her! :oP

Oh and any comments about taking on too much and you'll receive a personal
slap from me! You have been warned! (I'll even send you a virtual one!)
<grin>

Best new year wishes all!

Dan

PS: Anyone want a '01 Y plate Puma while I'm at it? £11,000! (It ain't just
the Delorean!)

Oh .. and when is the next show? Is it the NEC? I should be there.
