Really p***ed off to have missed Gaydon. I managed to get up in time, despite imbibing freely of sparkly fermented grape juice at Saturday's wedding, but saw clouds of white stuff in my mirror again on the M3. Fortunately, it was not smoke but steam. I had a water hose split. Couldn t effect a repair, so had to be RAC Relayed home. Funny thing was, the garage who came with the relay truck, based in Twyford, had a logo comprising a relay truck with a Delorean on it! The guy said they once transported a D to (or from?) Guernsey, the story being that it was kept in lieu of payment for UK certification fees. Could this be true? The hose runs from the top of the water pump & thermostat housing out to the left to a smaller diameter junction. It had been replaced with the engine rebuild so I don't know why it has gone. It runs over some pretty hot metal though. Glad you had a good time, but I would like to have made it 15 cars, and seen people. regards to all Tony Lawther Southampton [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
