Re: [DML] Letting people use our cars

[<delornut@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Several years ago I lent my DeLorean to a downtown Minneapolis Raddison for 
a convention of chefs whose theme was Back to the Future. In return they 
gave us a weekend in a suite on one of the floors that take a special key to 
get off the elevator. It was interesting because an Arab prince had rented 
the entire floor below us while his father had surgery at the University of 
Minnesota. That's a story all by itself. Yesterday I had the car at a local 
car show and ran into a fellow I had met several years back. His business is 
supplying animals and related props for films, events or whatever. He had 
just completed an ad for Artic Cat featuring Amish dressed actors using one 
of his carriages and horses. In our conversation he asked for my phone 
number as he gets calls for DeLoreans every once in a while because of the 
popularity of the Back to the Future theme. He said the last couple of times 
the price for the car and two people dressed like Doc and Marty  was $500 
for a five minute appearance.
