John, I think the 4 magazines a year are a big part, they certainly take up most of the club subs. To be honest on a night like tonight, where the wind and rain are howling against my window, I'd sooner sit in a nice comfy chair, flicking through back issues of the mag, than be staring at a computer screen. Then there are rallies and meets etc. Admittedly these are a little more difficult from the Irish republic, but most on my other members in the republic think its worthwhile. Then we have the tech stuff, parts etc. Our members in the USA, Hong Kong, Norway, Scotland, Wales, Paris, Italy, Holland, Jersey, Isle of Man and Northern Ireland, too, may only attend some events very infrequently, but they are part of our greater DeLorean Community/ Brotherhood and I value them greatly as members. I appreciate that with a "fancy electric typewriter" you can get most of the information elsewhere for free. Being part of the UK DeLorean owners club is like being a member of any other association of likeminded individuals, you tend to get out of, what you put into it. Only you can decide whether to spend your 20GBP. " ask not what the club can do for you, but what you can do for it!" ...or something like that!

What are the benefits of joining? The magazine seems nice...
