[doc] D on fire!

[John Tien <johntien99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

I had my first DeLorean Fire today... luckily it was a
candle size fire that I managed to kill in 1 minute.

One of the Fan Fix fuse went into fire, forcing me to
stop on the motor way, opening the fuse compartment
board, and blowing with my mouth like going mad!

I suppose Hong Kong is too damn hot, so that the
radiator fans are running more or less constantly...
putting hight current throught those two poor little
wires. A proper fan fix is needed asap!

Check your fuse connections and make sure they are
clean guys~ Don't let your D get too hot!

Regards,
John Tien

P.S. Ian, I don't think I can make it tomorrow
morning... as the D need a rest + proper fix before
going any where! :(
