> Dear Group,
> I have withheld this story long enough but I feel it must be told.
> I first met Ed & Millie Bernstein in January of 1983 to talk about forming
a
> DeLorean club or clubs. I was instrumental in forming the Pacific
Northwest
> DeLorean Club (PNDC) which started on February 26, 1983. Ed and company
> formed the DOA soon after. I met again, later, with Ed and he wanted the
> PNDC to become a chapter of DOA. Our membership voted this down and chose
> to remain independent. I have been to Ed's shops, old & new, with my wife
&
> my DeLorean. We purchased some items while there. I always considered Ed
> and Millie as "friends" and until now was member #797 of DOA having joined
> (I think) in later 1983. I know the Truscotts and other past DOA
officers.
> The above serves only to establish my connection with the
> Bernstein's/DeLorean One/DOA.
> Fast forward to April, 2000. I need to have a brake master cylinder
> overhauled. I take my old cylinder plus a rebuild kit from my parts
> inventory to a machine shop recommended to me, Seattle Brake and Clutch.
> Doug, manager, tells me that they can rebuild any cylinder so a few days
> later I took to them an old and leaking clutch master and slave, with
> instructions to "fix these". Seattle Brake & Clutch had problems finding
> the proper parts for these cylinders and ON THEIR VERY OWN cruised the WEB
> and all by themselves found DeLorean One. Again, on their own with no
> information from me, Doug calls DeLorean One and is told "yes we have the
> repair kits but we need a VIN number to be certain" Doug then called me
to
> obtain said number. I didn't say a word but suspected what was happening.
> I gave Doug my VIN #6292. He again called Ed (by this time Doug knew he
was
> talking to an Ed) and tried to order needed parts. Upon giving Ed my Vin
> number and waiting for quite a few seconds, Ed came back and told Doug
> "sorry, we have no parts for that car" AND HUNG UP THE PHONE!!! Does this
> mean that if I ever sell my car that the new owner can never purchase
parts
> from DeLorean One? Because I have purchased most of my needed parts from
> Specialty Automotive in Olympia, WA., does this mean that even given the
> fact that I know Ed & Millie that I can never purchase parts from them?
> While I have been a member of this list and the DeLorean community for
many
> years, I have read many accounts with regard to Ole Ed. I never partook
in
> Ed bashing, remember, I considered them friends and thought that the
> DeLorean community needed DeLorean One and any and all shops and/or
> suppliers. I have now dropped my membership from Ed's club and as many
> other people do, consider Ed to be a complete a--, who does not deserve to
> even use the name DeLorean connected with his endeavor. Count me now as a
> member of the Ed Bernstein bashing team. I will do all I can to steer
> people away from DeLorean One and his DOA, the same DOA that has never
> published a club treasury balance sheet. Do they too have something to
> hide?
