Re: [doc] Re: Shipping a car from the States

[Paul McKay <deloreanpaul@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Darren,
   
  Sounds like a cracking car. Love the pics of the convetible nice. I love the american cars and own a 5.7v8 1979 C3 Corvette, and a 1984 Pontiac Firebird as well as my Delorean. Just wished my wife appreciated them. She has only been in the car with the 'funny doors' only the once.
   
  My friend has just bought a beautiful 1962 Ford Thunderbird to use as a wedding car, due to a deal falling through on a lincoln.

  Hi Paul,

It is the car with suicide doors. The one I've bought is slightly 
customised - flat black paint, tinted windows, and a suspension drop.

It'll match my dad's 63 Continental convertible quite nicely :-)  -
