Richard,? list,

Sorry if I've been a bit techy..its that time of year when I am trying to
round up the last of my "non-renewed" members from 2001. I have been trying
to get in my £15's from the last of our enthusiasts, I have been for the
last 4 months. I hate to "throw away" 20 odd members just because they have
not got around to renewing their subs, but as a small club, we can't keep it
running with no money coming in. My mind was further concentrated by laser
printer flashing "toner low" at me, meaning I have to fork out another £70
quid to replace it! ( not the club, me).

I look forward to receiving your and any other folk's £15.

It has been a distant dream of many of our members, some for many years. To
finally buy a DeLorean Motor Car. I find great satisfaction in trying to
match buyers and sellers, so that dream can be for-filled.

No offence meant to any-one.

Your hard pressed club secretary.

BTW I was talking to one new owner who bought the Leeds, ex museum Auto) he
was telling me how it suddenly burst into flames as he was testing it. A
fuel pipe split and pumped petrol all over the hot engine! Fortunately he
had his garden hose nearby and only suffered slight damage to his wiring
loom, which Dave has been able to replace. It just goes to show perhaps
inspecting the rubber fuel lines should be on all our lists!

I do hope that wasn't aimed at me in that manner. Why I said it has to
go in a van to reach you is because you have managed to squeeze £15 out
of me, you just haven't received it yet - the PDF application crashed my
machine once, but it's done and mailed. Subscribing to the list in order
to see what the general chat was about and maybe ask a question about
something Paul had mentioned is instant.

I was in no way expecting to join this list and not become a member of
the club. Frankly, I'd be an idiot to contemplate owning a DeLorean and
not being a member, but also I think that my level of enthusiasm for the
marque is somewhat underestimated, and I'd planned on joining a long
time ago; just haven't had the motivation/time - a DeLorean being a
fairly distant dream for me.

Richard
