Yesterday I went to start my D but soon discovered that the cheapo Costco battery had died. I jump started the car with the trusty 80 Buick and cruised on down to the local Monkey Wards for a new Interstate battery. The guys behind the counter couldn't find a listing for an 81 DeLorean so one of them suggested that they look under AMC! Need I say more? I got the new battery in and all is well. Today I entered the car in a local car show sponsored by the Camaro Club of San Diego but won nothing. The award for the best foreign car went to a shiny Pantera. There was also a guy there who looked just like Christopher Lloyd and enjoyed having his photo taken in front of my car. All in all it was a great weekend. My thanks to Wards for a good laugh...Fil Vigil
