Re: Celebrity DeLorean owners...

["Robert Rooney" <dmcvegas@xxxx>]

I know that Jim Varney (the "Hey Vern" guy) owned one, and one of the 
members of Duran Duran, although I know it WAS NOT Simon LeBon. I've 
only heard of one being sold since, but several Casino 
owners/executives here in Las Vegas own a few. Most of these cars 
were "slot prizes". Out of all the DeLorean's won in casinos, only 2 
people elected to keep the cars, the rest took the cash equivilent. 
But rather than the norm of sending the car back to the dealership to 
get the money back, the execs keep the DMC-12's for themselves! Maybe 
not the type of celebrities you expected, but one of many unusual 
tales involving DeLorean's in Las Vegas...

p.s. Although there's maybe only 3 people from Vegas in the list 
here, records indicate that there are between 30-40 D's here in town!
