Re: [DML] ADMIN:DMC2 [Long]

The question may be "should we post discussions about DeLorean's proposed new 
car and the DMC2 watch"? 

For as long as i've been a member of the DML I have enjoyed information 
about the car and services and mods...and i've also read articles on DeLorean 
Shirts and DeLorean mousepads. The moderators of this list filter what they 
feel in "unneccesary" or "personal". Many of my beliefs have been filtered 
because they are considered "controversial".
Isn't John Delorean more controversial than anything i can say? How can 
his endevours be discarded? The whole plan is to spread interest about the 
new DeLorean. DeLorean is a business man and relizes that the second time 
around may be much harder, mainly due to his tarnished rep. Many of you feel 
that the watch is "too expensive". This isn't to make DeLorean on par with 
Rolex, it's his attempt to put him on par with Porsche. Some people that 
want to invest in the car have the money to but this watch, and that is what 
it is for. 
The cost of producing a new car is rated in hundreds of millions of 
dollars. How can this amount be reached without attempts to raise money, as 
in buying the watch. 
As for the car, why can't we talk about it? It is an important part to 
Delorean, even though, our James Espey, feels that it is speculation. Would 
the 1st DMC-12 ever have been built if it wasn't for speculation? We have 
facts from the JZD and even an interview (www.deloreantime.com). It may be 5 
more years before (and if) we see a new DeLorean (if he continues that long). 
Shouldn't we keep the dream alive???

My 10 cents worth,
Christopher Miller
(vin#- eventually, hopefully a DMC2)
