Re: A few thoughts on DeLorean Windscreans-

["jamesrguk" <James_rg@xxxx>]

Chris, 

I didn't mean to make a dig at anyone, although it sounds stupid, 
not being able to chat with Dave H through the internet probably 
looses him alot of business as far DeLorean parts go.

I know Dave is not out to make big money on the parts he has and 
most people on this list who do stuff for the love of the car 
usually with little or no profit or sometimes a loss.

If information about the parts that Dave has for sale, was posted on 
the intertnet, perhaps on the DOC site, and updated once a month 
then I am sure he would clear his stuff quite quickly.

Howarth took it upon himself to get some made for UK owners. At the 
time he had to have a minimum of 10 made, in Holland or Belgium ( he 
cant remember which) it took months to organise and the initial cost 
of 197 BGP each, escalated to 350 with all duties , shipping VAT 
etc.

4 left, he sells them at cost price, nothing at all added for profit 
or inflation and it annoys me when some folk publicise the fact that 
the can get one made for a few quid cheaper or that the shade of 
tint is not quite right. It does not surprise me that Dave is 
backing out of the spares business with so little support from 
members. No they don't have the DMC logo, only genuine one's will 
have, but many of the genuine one's are now starting to de-laminate, 
around the edge with age. Your tax disc cover up the logo anyway.
