[DML] Re: Brake Master Cylinder Interchange

[Carson Clark <cnsandog@xxxx>]

Hey DMC Joe,

What is the story with the 260K mile DeLorean? Can you give us some
info about it? I am always interested in hearing about DeLoreans that
have topped 200K miles. I talked with Don and he told me about one
that went over 200K and also about one that topped 500K miles!

Has the engine been overhauled yet? Is it your personal car?

Just curious, maybe some others are too... Mine has 38K miles on it
and I want to have something to look forward too!

Thanks,

C
