RE: [doc] New Tyres

["Chris Parnham" <chrisparnham1@xxxx>]

I've just come back from my first blast with Delores since changing both
brake servo's, master cylinder and new set of Goodyear Eagle f1's...really
cool!

I think the combination of my DMC Houston Shocks, Euro springs and modern
tyres have completely transformed my car. I gave it a bit off welly up the
A38 and had great pleasure in seeing numerous jaws dropping as I shot past!

When I called in my local filling station, a Big leather clad biker came
over and said some thing like " that's the coolest car I've ever seen" , I
really didn't know what to say, apart from Thank you. He waited until I
filled up and shot off, before he moved!

Only a nice clean DeLorean with extra shinny wheels, bathed in the glow of
the forecourt lights could possibly get such attention.

I love my DeLorean ( 's).

Hi Chris,

I've done a couple of thousand miles on my Eagle F1s in all weathers now
and love them. They look great too - a good choice,
