Re: [doc] Singapore DeLorean

["Ian Foster" <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,

Yes, she was a mess when I found her front bumper peering out from under a 
pile of boxes ... but she is a RHD, manual, and 'Registered' in HongKong so 
well worth all the hassle!!!

Also there was something "pre-destined" that I should own her ... she 
appeared in the local HK English-language newspaper on my Birthday in 1991 
for GBP30k. I was a poor wee Architect just arrived in HK from University so 
couldn't afford her. I started seriously searching for her again in the 
mid-'90s, and eventually found her.

Cheers,              IAN
