RE: [doc] Storage/ selling

["Daniel Willis" <danielpwillis@xxxx>]

Thanks for that Chris - that's my bind.

I am fully aware how badly DeLoreans fair when sat not being used.. there 
are far too many one's (especially in the US) that are not restoration 
projects due to that fact alone.

However, while money is an issue (when is it not) - I'm hardly about to go 
bankrupt. I own the DeLorean outright (but the Porsche I do not! heh) so I 
suppose keeping her wouldn't be a problem.

The way I am trying to see it is as an investment.. she'll make me money one 
day! But it's more of an emotional thing with me - I hate selling cars... 
especially DeLoreans!

Either way - I'm not going to be running her on her return (bar the odd 
show)

Oh well... at least DMUK could import one for me later on ;o)
