Hi Daniel,

I tried the link to Discovery, but it didnt work. Even so, to 
compltely wreck two seemingly perfectly good DeLorean's in my book is 
totally wrong. 

There is a show on Channel 4 or 5 called Car Wars (or something like 
that) where they turn cars into radio controlled fighting machines. 
In one show they wrecked a perfectly good 1960's Austin 3 litre 'Land 
Crab' once owned by Richard Burton and Liz Taylor - and took great 
pleasure in boasting about it. Unfortunately numerous cars with 
historical and rarity values meet their deaths on UK banger tracks 
every week. The recovery driver who collected me and Flopsy from 
Hitchin the other week is a banger racer (I told him if he even 
thought about putting a D on the track he'd soon be six feet under 
and pushing up daisies), he boasted about smashing up a 2yr old 
Bentley this year! Also, I once worked with someone who fully 
restored an Austin A60 Cambridge (Farina shaped), then a guy who 
worked for our local council spotted it, nicked it, guess where it 
ended up.....

I'm just glad we took the plunge and rescued Flopsy from an uncertain 
fate......

Just my 2pth,

Claire
#2292 'Flopsy' - built in Ireland, trashed in the USA, resurrected in 
England
