Re: [DML] DMC and BTTF (Was: Good point, Roger)

About 50 % of our members are less than 25 years old. Some have become
DeLorean owners, many if not most, were originally inspired by the BTTF
movies. I cant see anything wrong in that.
Some cars, like old Rolls Royce, have seen steadily declining values over
recent years. Why ?
Because not many young folk can "identify" with a 1930 Rolls Royce and as
the older enthusiasts die off, there is just not the demand from the younger
generations. We should be grateful for the BTTF films ( in my opinion)
