Re: [doc] In or Out?

["jamesrguk" <James_rg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Insteresting all this insurance talk, obviously insurance costs is 
calculated by risk/repair costs etc...

But statistically speeking I can't imagine that many DeLorean's get 
stolen, or vandalised compaired to many other cars out there, 
perhaps that's why the difference in insurance costs between a 
garaged D and non-garaged D is not that much.

Other than Alistar V's car which was vanadlised (despite being in a 
garage) I can't think of many D owners who have had problems.

My MKIV Triumph Spitfire 1.3 is worth about £2,000 but costs me more 
to insure than the DeLorean! work that one out!
