Re: [DML] Good News Story

["Lynn Metz" <metzlynn@xxxx>]

I too had some interesting problems. We took two cars to the show, the 
DeLorean and a "regular" car. I have not recharged the A/C in the D, so the 
plan was to drive the other car all weekend and only drive the D up to the 
show and back ( about 2 hours each way). However, it turned out that the 
casette player is broken in the other car, so we ended up doing the road 
ralley in the D with NO A/C (very hot trip - black interior).

Then, Friday night, on the way to the auto museum (in the rain) the car 
overheats (not the D). So, I thought I could avoid driving my car in the 
rain, but no luck. In fact, I had to walk, jog and hitch about 3-4 miles 
back to the garage to get the D to make it to the museum. We finally made 
it to the show ( not too late either).

So the next morning I was working on the other car for several hours, after 
searching for tools from everyone. (I did borrow some from another owner - 
sorry I forget your name - But thanks!) Eventually I get the other car 
going and make it back to the show to find the judges on the car right next 
to mine. Mine is still covered from the rain and mess from the night 
before. I would have washed it, but I was working on the other car!!! 
Anyway, the guy next to me was in the same class and I'm not sure how great 
his car really was, but sitting next to mine, it looked REALLY good. In 
fact he took 2nd place.

But amid all of the commotion, I sought help from Ken in finding tools. He 
made some suggestions and then offered that if I needed to go get anything, 
I could take his truck and go!!! Wow, even though I did not borrow his 
truck, I really do appreciate that he would offer to let me use it. (I had 
never met Ken in person prior to this) Ken put on a great show and is a 
great person.
Thanks, Ken
