Hi John,
Not wishing to seem "Politically incorrect" but was this arrest warrant issued
in Ireland or Britain/N.Ireland. Surely it was only the Brits that got 'stung'
financially by the DeLorean saga? JZD can still go kiss the Blarney Stone if he
wants, surely?!
I recall as a kid at Limavady Grammar School (20ish years ago) in
History/Geography Class, how the N.Ireland Industrial policy had changed after
the DeLorean experiment ... Govt. Grants would from then on concentrate on
'local cottage industries' rather than big brash investments.
I later worked for the architect who had built the factory at Dunmurray. We put
forward proposals for Govt. to split it up into a number of smaller units.
Cheers, IAN

Subject: [DML] Re: Chrome Wheels
Date: 1-May-99 3:20:32 -0400
Dan,
Yes, you are correct, you can chrome plate aluminum.
You can even chrome plastic too, but do the finish last?
For this very reason, why many people don't suggest or use the process of
chrome plating aluminum. Longevity is the question!
I understand that this "chroming" process for aluminum is not stable for it
peels and pits faster then the surfaces that are anodized.
Heat and temperature changes will causes an electrolysis effect between the
chrome material and aluminum's surfaces -- it will be inevitable. Chroming
process requires a copper base for the chrome to start the process. One
reason why it cost so much. Second is the labor required to polish the plated
finish surface.
Aluminum as a material expands and contracts faster then the chrome surface.
Stress and heat also creates premature failure for the chrome plating. Thus
generating cracking and peeling.
Units that requires high tolerances and that are subjected to high stress are
anodized as a choice of finish.
Anodizing and does not change the balance of the unit. Chrome plating adds a
new skin to the unit's surface which will help for the wear and tear. For
example they chrome line cylinder's wall.
Durability and longevity is the question of realty.
I have seen failure in the area of chrome plating aluminum. Many people who
understand this problem will shunt the idea of chrome plating aluminum.
Unless they have UPDATED, IMPROVED or CHANGED upon this process -- forget
about it.
Many people feel this is not the right direction for the money to be
invested. The cost of the chrome plating aluminum process out weights the
cost and the durability of anodizing. I also personally think that chrome
items that are not "done right" looks gordy and tasteless.

Subject: [DML] Re: chrome wheels, Bricklins
Date: 1-May-99 9:52:22 +0000
So, Kayo, you can't chrome plate aluminum? That's going to come as a
surprise to the people out there who do that for a living. Sometimes I
really have to wonder about the stuff I read on here. Anyway, for what it
is worth, I have had both polished and yes chromed stock wheels on my
DeLoreans, and both are a huge improvement over the stock look. I have
chrome ones on my supercharged car, and prefer them because the upkeep is
zero. You just wash them and they look terrific. If anyone is interested I
can have them chrome plated, including painting between the spokes, for
about $189 each, plus shipping. The wheels must be in mint condition. I
also have a limited number of new wheels that can be chromed, for only $175
more.
As for Bricklins, I had for years wanted to own one just so I could compare
it to the DeLorean (and get pictures of the two, doors up, side-by-side in
my driveway). I finally got my chance - a few years ago I picked up a very
low mileage car for only $4,000. Another DeLorean owner and I were going to
go halves on it, but at the last minute he chickened out. It was a very
early car, ugly Suntan color, with the AMC drivetrain. It still had the
slow hydraulic doors and some significant damage to the top of the door
skins, but otherwise was quite nice. But it was like driving a Javelin. It
also felt like a thrown-together kit car, and it got many more comments than
the DeLorean ever did - only they were all negative. The one I loved was
that it "looked like a Saab eating an eight-track tape". Anyway, it was
probably the worst car I have ever owned, and after a long two months or so
I was able to persuade my formally reluctant "partner" to take it off my
hands. And in keeping with my often-repeated statement of having "never
lost money on a collector car" I sold it to him for exactly what I had
invested in it up til then - sales tax, license, repairs, etc., rounded up
to the next even dollar. That was the best profit I ever made, because it
was GONE.

Hey Ian,
You're right, the warrant was issued in Britian/N. Ireland, but there is
extradition between Ireland & N. Ireland (wanted people can be arrested in
Ireland for crimes committed in England/N. Ireland, and vice versa, and then
transported and delivered to the people who want them), so no, I don't think
John could "kiss the blarney stone"! Unless of course the authorities in the
North didn't know he was in the south....

John I agree with you fully, furthermore as a citizen of both The Republic of
Ireland and the United States, in my opinion, the cure for the "troubles" in
the North is JOBS. JZD did it properly assuring a balance of Catholic and
Protestant workers and never had a problem at the plant. I believe the
British Gov't made a big mistake deciding not to support DMC Ireland. That
decision not only closed a potentially viable business, but sent the message
that new industry in the North is unwelcome and uninsurable. Just my 2 cents

If you have a company that can reliably re-fill struts for 1/10th the price, I bet you would have a lot of business from this list and other D owners! We all have used struts sitting around- and we all have spent hundreds if not thousands

Entered my 81 in a car show in Winston-Salem today. very surprised to take
second place in Special Interest/Race Cars. I didn't have much time this
morning to prepare, took it to the car wash and Lexol'ed the seats, that was
about it. It got lots of attention and questions, and a lady with a
camcorder filmed it and said it would be on Forsyth County's public access
TV. The car that took first was a gorgeous blue 67 Shelby 427 Cobra, so I
was really shocked to even be in the same league!
This is the same show that my wife's Bricklin took second place two years
ago, so now both our gullwings are show winners:^)
