I got an e-mail vie the DOC site from a lady in the US with a rather unique problem, but I warn you, it'll make you annoyed - it did me! The following are the two e-mails she sent me: Any advice would be appreciated. Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Claire Lowe and I have a 1981 Delorean. The thing is that someone tipped it onto its roof last night and I am at a bit of a loss as to how to go about getting it repaired. The car is currently in Michigan State and as I am an exchange student here from Ireland, I really have no clue as to where to start. Any advice would be most appreciated. <<my reply>> > > Hi there Claire, > > I'm really sorry to hear about your car - I presume you mean it's now > damaged on the roof (?) ie the doors and T-bar, louvers and maybe the > quarter panels are in need of attention? > > If you have to get it done in the US, then it's a trip to DeLorean One or > DMC houston, or PJ Grady's (see links on my site).

It's the first time I've heard > of this happenning! <<and in response>> Dear Martin, Thanks for replying. I am not sure if you would have heard about the riots at Michigan State University but that is how the car got tipped over. A bunch of inebriated students turned it onto its roof and then subsequently took photographs of themselves as they stood on top of it. The car is currently at an impound in East Lansing, Michigan, awaiting removal to a garage. The doors still work but I'm not really sure of the extent of the damage as I haven't seen it in daylight yet. Is PJ Grady's in NY? If it is, I think that that may be the closest workshop. If you have any advice, I'd really like to hear from you. Thanks again for your trouble. Claire Lowe. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroup home: http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews Free Web-based e-mail groups by eGroups.com
