Re: [doc] Looking for a DeLorean

[Daniel Shane <daniel.shane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andre,

My car cam from DMCH and was not a pristine car.  It was a car that was half
way through being by a owner and was left to be finished.

I will say that a good thing about DMCH is that there description of the car
was accurate and they arranged all the shipping there end.

If I was going to do it again, and I might well do, then I would shop around
and look for one myself.  Try EBay, PJ Grady's etc.

If you want some backup then either DMCH or DMUK.  DMUK know there cars, are
helpful, can do any kind of work or modification that you want and are over
here.
