[DML] Re: AUSSIE GM DAY

Joe,

Through personal experience over the past two weeks and what you have
described below is absolutely true. The DeLorean is a car of eye-catching
appeal and intrigue and organisers of car shows become very protective
especially if they are exhibiting cars of a particular make. They
certainly don't want 'ring-ins' which are likely to take the attention away
from the other entrants.

Just last week we entered our 'D' in a display solely for street machines
and drag cars and bikes. I thought it would be a nice debut for the 'D' -
the first ever time we've ever shown it. I even went to the extent of
putting together leaflets detailing the history of the 'D' which my son and
I handed out liberally to all those who swarmed over the car. And I must
confess that the 'D' got at least 80 percent of the attention during the
day. Well, sad to say that not one judge came anywhere near our car,
infact we didn't even get a mention at the end of the day nor when the
prizes were handed out.

I'm still tempted to take the 'D' to the Holden day just to see what happens.

Regards,

Lance
