Re: [DML] Ship or Drive newly Purchased Delorean

Paul,    

I would definately agree with Andy.    Most problems that would happen
in 500 miles would be apparent in 100.    I bought my D in Phoenix,
and drove to Albuquerque, NM   about 800 plus miles.    but I took my
mechanic who knows the PRV system very well.   He did cut the A/C belt
as some of the idler pulleys were making noises, and he said it was
better to not have that belt break and get tangled in the other belt. 
 If a/c belt looks old, or idler pulleys are noisy, just cut that
belt.

  I did get my A/C belt at PEP Boys and I also got the ALT bet at pep boys.

Good luck!   WELCOME TO D OWNERSHIP!..

RODNEY
