Re: [DML] Shipping a Delorean

[ComposerZelgadis@xxxxxxx]

This is something I've been rather curious about myself.  I live on  Marco 
Island, Florida (stone's throw south of Naples).  I heard from a  friend of mine 
that A-1 Auto Transport has a good reputation, but I haven't had  personal 
dealings with them myself, other than they're persistent.
 
I got a quote from them online, and my phone kept ringing off the hook for  a 
week or two.  Kept asking if I "had any questions."
 
To answer one of your original questions, the manual transmission is a bit  
more reliable (from what I've heard).  Even so, with only 130 hp backing  you 
up, you need all the gears you can get.  =D  That is, if you're  performance 
oriented.  I know the automatic has quite a few problems with  the computer 
governor, mainly with sudden downshifting into 1st on highway  speeds.  Rather 
good times.  I believe Rob Grady has a fix for this,  though.  So it's all in 
preference at this point.  I'd go with a  manual, even if just because you get 
more performance out of them (5 spd manual  VS. 3 spd auto?).  Plus, they're a 
bit cheaper to maintain.
 
Cheers.
