[doc] Re: Can you Make money from owning a Delorean! Events, weddings - Carshows!

["Chris Williams" <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Craig, Whilst I can only speak for myself I dont think there is a 
huge amount of money to be had (unless you own Backy) :-)  
I only joined De hire origionaly in the hope of a couple of jobs per 
year just to help out with a couple of the bill's. And latterly to 
gain experience of web design having taken over the site from Dean 
Mitchell (who did a great job setting it up) And it has worked to a 
certain extent.
Although I have also done some free publicity work also. As much as 
anything (1) because i like to see my car in print/film. but most 
importantly (2) to publicise the DeLorean as a brand/car, one that I 
aspired to own for a great number of years and would strongly 
encourage others to 'own the dream'
As far car shows I think you will be too busy with questions and 
getting over the 'correct' facts to worry about sales (did you not 
know it's made of ally)!!!! You soon will.

my car back from PJ Grady, Europe, i would be able to attempt to 
make a little money by using the car for events!

What is the going rate for weddings and conventions, 80s nights, 
etc!  How many jobs are people getting..., 1 or 2 a year would be a 
greeat help...pay for road tax, etc!

the car and cover expenses!

maybe even with delorean-hire.co.uk!  Maybe a mug!  Not sure if its 
worth the effort or not!  Has anyone got any ideas or advice?  I 
know deloreans must get huge attention at carshows but do people buy 
little souvenirs at carshows...i havent been to that many so was 
curious?
