Before anyone says all that much, I'd like to put my opinion out there for everybody. We all know that Harry is the only person around that goes completely out of his way to look for anything and everything on the Diamante, and we all give him props for doing it also - but have any of us actually bought anything from him, or tried to carry some of the load that he's taken on for all of us D owners out there? I'm not talking about all of you, but I'm talking about me also... I too have been doing alot of thinking lately, and am not sure whether it's really worth keeping a car that costs so much, and sells for so little. We've all become a small brotherhood of people from all over, and we've all managed to give someone in need a little help, but I've started wondering if it's really worth all the money and effort that's been put into it also.

I'm not trying to diss the car or the people, but I'm trying to get us to decide which direction to go at this crossroads - either make this car unlike any other in any aspect that we can, or give it up. I haven't yet decided, but I'm definitely thinking about it.

Anyone else have anything to say?
