Re: [doc] Fw: [DML] NEC show this weekend past



I think if he HAD posted his mail to this group, by this time he may be feeling pretty silly. Paul S and myself have both posted replies to DMCnews and I think he should now get the message. I've pasted my reply below.

I won't repeat what Paul Salsbury has already written - he's spot on in everything - but want to add a few comments. The NEC show is our biggest advert for the DOC each year. The cars that go on the stand are chosen simply by whose turn it is. I had my first car on the stand last year. This year it was time for someone else. All cars had dents and dings all over them did they? You obviously didn't pay much attention to the grey interior car as it had _one_ small dent, and apart from that is simply in need of re-brushing, which the owner has already booked in with us, as well as getting that dent removed.

The car with all the parts under the bonnet is my friend and business partner's. He bought it for less than $6000. It's now one of the fastest DeLoreans in the country (nobody really knows why, it just goes like stink, we've assisted by changing a few parts over, and it's now EVEN faster). We had our stainless expert, Chris Nicholson on hand on Saturday going over all the cars pricing up the work that would be required to fix them.

All in all, it's not just an advert for the car, but the work the club does, and in that, having cars that aren't 100%, but will be one day thanks to the dillegence of their owners, is all part of owning a classic car.

Project cars are far more desirable here in Enland due to the cost of parts and limited choice of cars
