These people should be rounded up and shot.

FWIW, I don't think that there is sufficient asbestos in a Delorean to
cause any risk to you or other users of the car, unless you choose to
eat your brakepads (and haven't changed them since 1981, which is
possible I suppose!).

The lawyers are, seemingly, intent on finding things that really ought
to be left to Darwin's 'survival of the fittest' - such as the 'Caution
- Contents May Be Hot' on my cup of coffee from McDonalds.

Richard (looking for funds for a DMC-12. Maybe there is some asbestos in
my old Vauxhall VX2300...).
