[DML] possibility of North Carolina Service Center opening

["Louie" <louie@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi list,

It looks like there is a distinct possibility that a DeLorean 
service center might be opening up in the Charlotte/Concord, North 
Carolina area. Everything is very speculative at this point, but 
here are the details. Jeff Friday, owner of a very custom DeLorean, 
has found someone who is interested in finacially backing him to 
open up a service center for DeLoreans. Jeff is probably without a 
doubt the most enthusiastic DeLorean owner I've ever met... he 
absolutely lives and breathes DeLoreans. He has been an owner for 
about 3 years now and has pretty much torn his car down to nothing 
and rebuilt it a couple of times, customizing it to his liking as he 
goes. For pictures of his car, check out this thread on Tamir's 
DeLorean Site Forum:

Jeff and I (mainly Jeff due to my work schedule) did an upper engine 
rebuild on my car last year, restoring everything while we went. 
Here's some pictures of that project:

Jeff is just finishing up on a similar project with another local 
owner's car, the end results of which will probably be the most 
impressive of any car he's done yet (with less colors involved this 
time though!). 

Why I am posting this to the DML is to gague interest for Jeff's 
investor. The investor is looking at buying/leasing a building to 
house the service center, and will lease warehouse space to house 
cars as well if the building won't provide space to keep customer 
cars indoors. They are looking at buying a rollback truck to 
transport cars as well.

I believe the main advantage that Jeff's service center would offer 
would be customization. He can really make the cars run purr, but he 
pays such attention to detail along the way. He chrome plates, 
powder coats, paints, and polishes everything as he goes. We're 
talking he replaces every bolt with stainless ones, or chrome/zinc 
plates them. Your car truly sparkles like it never did (even when it 
was new) when he's done with it. Jeff feels that there is a market 
for these kind of services, most notably when for us Carolina owners 
when the nearest service centers are PJ Grady and DMC Florida, both 
of which are more than 10 hours away. 

It's important to note he's not trying to compete directly with any 
one vendor/service center; but instead Jeff thinks he's got a unique 
service he can add to the DeLorean fold, and that there is a market 
for a small regional service provider in the Carolinas as well. If 
you would be interested in any of this, or simply have 
questions/comments etc, drop Jeff an email at delorean_type304(AT)
msn.com or myself Louie(AT)DeLorean.com. It's important to note that 
I am not involved in this venture on any level, I am just fielding 
interest for Jeff and his investor at this point.
