Re: Question from an owner's wife

["d_rex_2002" <rich@xxxx>]

I am behind Bruce's statements 100%. Please tell your husband
we thank him for his service to our country. I also think we
can go one step further with assistance in this case, so if 
you let us know the city/state where the Delorean is being
garaged (stored) maybe someone from the DML could make a trip
out to get the car started and running, and possibly make some
arrangements to check on the car for you, every few months, to
make sure the vehicle is given regular "exercise".

A minimum schedule should be at least every 6 - 8 weeks and I
would disconnect the battery between these startup sessions if
there is an existing power draw on the battery causing a dead
battery within a few weeks or months.

Let us know if we can be of any futher assistance.

Later,
Rich W.
