Re: Car Shows

["Rick" <delorean@xxxx>]

Our DeLorean was on display once at a community festival in western 
Sydney. On a couple of occasions I had to tell people not to sit in 
the car, so I wouldn't blame ya if you wanted to rope off your 
cockpit.

During the day when our car was on display, two teenagers even jumped 
in the D and started playing with the shifter and the controls and 
stuff. I told 'em politely to get out, but it was quite annoying at 
the end of the day to turn on the car and find the wipers and 
indicators all on! So I guess I'll just stick to taking the DeLorean 
to regular car shows where spectators know how to behave.
