Well said, Mike.  That's exactly what I was thinking but couldn't find the 
right way to say it.  The concours is not supposed to determine who has the 
perfect/most desireable DeLorean.  Who wouldn't rather have one with all the 
updates and bling bling that's available today? Of COURSE an updated one is more 
reliable and more desirable to a knowledgable DeLorean owner (for regular 
driving). BUT the concours car is the most ORIGINAL DELOREAN, and without that, how 
can we determine which cars have been heavily modified, and which ones have 
just been 'updated'??? We definitely need a concours and it's just stupid for 
all of you to be saying its worthless and making your own cars seem somehow 
flawed.  It's a totally different catagory than what most of us strive for, that's 
OK.  The more diversity the better.  Long live the benchmark of the most 
ORIGINAL DELOREAN (but not necessarily the 'best').

Thanks Mike for getting me started!
Andy
