David, You missed the point entirely....:) I wasn't in MY car. I was in another owner's car. I was just touting the wonders of GPS and the many uses. Since I realize I didn't make that clear, it is also nice to know that you have a backup speedometer working instead of fumbling for an RPM to MPH conversion chart at whatever speed you are traveling. However, I used to have an RPM to MPH conversion table in my car, but I gave it to a brand new owner at our holiday party earlier that day since his angle drive had gone out. I've pretty much got the necessary speed to RPMs memorized anyway, but looking at analog gauges in a DeLorean took a bit of getting used to. Of course, it only works if you have the correct size rear tires, too. However, you make an interesting statement when you say "It may not be accurate but it will keep you out of trouble until you can fix your angle drive." Um, maybe I missed something, but if it isn't accurate, why would I use it and how can it keep me out of trouble? What exactly do you mean "leave it laying in your binnicle"? My binnAcle has no pockets IN which I can put anything. Did you mean in your glove box, or ON your binnacle perhaps? Since angle drive failure is an all too common occurrence, I'd like to clarify your statements for all those out there who are about to experience such a terrific event....:) Ok, ok, I'm giving you a hard time because, well, because I can....:) However I would like you to clarify the above statements for future angle drive failure candidates so that they can heed your advice in the correct Teitelbaum way.

A lot cheaper than a GPS. > David Teitelbaum > vin 10757 To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
