[DML] Re: My tribute to John : DMC Prototype Running!

["d_rex_2002" <rich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Group,

I know the subject of Delorean values is a very touchy issue
at this time, but I would like to make mention that I am very
happy that Tony was able to purchase Proto-Type 1 when he did
and make it available for viewing. It's no telling what would
have happened if it was up on ebay this past week. 

Proto-Type 1 is in very good hands now, but I had wished that
JZD could have taken a new photo with it now, over 25 years
after the first public photos.  It will be great to hear the 
first-hand details about the car from Bill Collins this June.
Thanks again Tony for bringing it back for the DMC community. 

This weeks events has reminded all of us that we are not here
for a long time and we need to get the most out of every day.

Later, 
Rich W.
