It was a pleasure to read Jan's story. It is the same one I have been preaching for nearly 21 years now. In May I took a 2500 mile trip in my DeLorean. In July/August I took another 3700 mile trip. Next week it will be a 2000 mile trip. In September it will be a 3000 mile trip and the finale for this year will be in November, another 2000 miles. Not every trip has been "flawless", but almost invariably any problems encountered are from either lack of maintenance or from a supid maintenance error. And, these "flaws" have benn VERY few and far between. Drive these cars - it is rewarding. Dick Ryan PS Jan is also smart enough to be a Mac fan!!!! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
