I forward this for comments.

I think we manage pretty well as we are, I don?t personally want to make my
DeLorean ownership into a business, but some of you may have other
ideas?comments? Or if you prefer, talk to the lady direct, it?s a free
country still (Just).

Dear Sir,

I am in the very early stages of planning a business venture which may
interest you and your members.

The basic idea is for a chauffeured car service for bridegrooms ? not just
any old cars though! Everyone knows the bride usually gets to the church,
registry office or other wedding venue in her shiny chauffeured Rolls Royce
or Mercedes and what does the bridegroom do? Invariably he?s taken in the
best man?s Mondeo or calls a cab!

My idea is to offer a wide range of unusual, rare and interesting cars to
get the bridegroom to the church on time (as it were!).

Ideally, the service would operate nationwide and to this end I am
contacting the relevant owners clubs of a range of vehicles.

Obviously, when planning a venture such as this there are many issues to
take into consideration, namely:
- whether owners would wish to use their vehicles during the winter
months, or in wet weather
- how far the owners would wish to travel to provide this service
- how much owners feel is a fair price to charge for such a service
- insurance issues surrounding the use of the vehicle for hire
purposes

Additionally, I am very definite that only vehicles of the highest quality
are chosen. This is why I have chosen to deal with high profile owners clubs
as I know that genuine enthusiasts of any marque are extremely proud of
their vehicles and take the utmost care of them.

Delorean is a marque that I am very keen on becoming involved with my
venture. The cars are instantly recognisable and yet very unusual and I feel
they would be an extremely popular addition to the steadily growing
portfolio of rare vehicles I am accumulating for my venture.

Including Delorean, I have also contacted owners clubs of the following
marques:
- Lotus: Esprit, 340R, Elan (1960?s version and M100 models), Elise,
Exige ? a huge collection at my beck and call thanks to the fact I?m an
active member of a few Lotus clubs and have five different models in the
family already!
- Mustang
- Dodge
- Pontiac
- Jaguar
- TVR
- Noble
- Aston Martin
- Cadillac
- Thunderbird
- Maserati
- Marcos

You will notice that the majority of these vehicles will be 2-seaters which
would mean that the bridegroom would have to travel to the wedding venue by
himself. I have carried out some preliminary research on various ?wedding
helper? websites and the initial feedback has been very positive. It appears
that brides feel the hiring of an unusual chauffeur-driven sports/luxury car
would be a wonderful treat for their grooms!

Obviously, one of the major considerations for anyone planning a wedding is
cost. Weddings are expensive affairs and I was initially unsure whether the
cost of what could be seen as an unnecessary expense would put people off.
However, it appears that if the price was fair, many people would be
receptive and interested in having a little something extra.

Therefore, I would be very interested in speaking with you in more detail to
ascertain the interest of Delorean Owners Club members!

Thank you for taking the time to read my email and I really hope we can talk
soon!


Many thanks,
