Hi Lads,

Well to get the conversation going again, I'll tell you all what 
happened to me earlier in the week, a woman drove into the back of my 
DeLorean :(
Apparently she was reaching for something in the back seat.

I can't understand why she hit me, as she and her passenger were 
clearly interested in the car and were driving behind me for some 
time. I could lip read them saying all the usual comments like "back 
to the future" and gesturing to each other on how the doors go up, 
etc. (this was stop and go traffic at 0 to 10 mph). I think she was 
probably reaching for a camera in her backseat to take a pic when she 
hit me.

Anyway, my left exhaust pipe put a hole in her bumper, and her bumper 
bent my lower part of the fascia in a few inches. A few mins later 
when I asked her to "get you F&#&$ing car off my bumper NOW!" my 
fascia came back out to its original shape, but there is a slight 
crease in it, and some scuffing. Also, my exhaust system is a bit 
bent, the left tailpipe is a few inches inboard of the right one, so 
I'm sure there are some brackets bent, and possibly damage to the 
muffler.

A mechanic is looking the car over tomorrow (another DeLorean owner 
here in Ireland) to see what has been damaged. Needless to say, her 
insurance company are going to be hit with a bill for brand new parts 
for anything that shows even the slightest damage, from PJ Grady, 
including shipping and taxes and labor to fit the parts. Any advice 
on any of this is very much appreciated, e.g. what to look for for 
damage, etc.

Anything I buy I'd like to go thru PJ Grady, as I have bought all my 
parts from him before, but it does not say on his website if he sells 
fascia's, anyone know if he does? I don't want to bother him directly 
at the moment with the message on his website saying they have a 
family emergency.

Thanks,
John, Ireland.
