Re: [DML] Bryan Pearce's Frames

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bryan's frames are NLA. Been that way for about two years now. Given your obsession with insurance, probably for the best.

Do you realize this is the third time you have mentioned, at your volition alone, my fuel delivery? That also seems to be an obsession of yours. Just my opinion, but it might be best if you did not mix fuel delivery and frame/suspension threads together. 

I have been a DeLorean owner since May 2002 (two cars actually since June 2009).
