Re: [doc] DeLorean Rust Buckets?

Actually what he says is

Edmund King, RAC Foundation spokesman, said: "It would be fair to say 
that the majority of cars on the list broke down more than the average".

That isn't saying much really is it? I've seen many a delorean on the 
back of a tow-truck, mainly due to prudent owners having back-to-base 
recovery on their brakedown cover! Usually it's a drive belt, or a 
thermostat - something daft that's much easier to get towed than try 
fixing on the side of the road :-)

I had mine towed on my cover (come with insurance) simply because it 
wouldn't start due to the starter being dead, and had a flat tyre. Had 
my (then) landlady let me do work on my car at my flat, I'd have fixed 
it, but as it was, I was able to trailer it to Stevenage for nothing.
