Re: [DML] You *do* drive your Deloreans, don't you?

[Chris Hawes <christopherhawes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I drive my car when ever I can.  I have no hesitation in jumping in to it to do long distance trips or using it for popping down the shops.  It is reasonably wide so I always park it spot on in the the parking bays to avoid dings.  I also normally park it further away in the car park to lessen the chance of anything bad happening.  From what I have seen the car attracts nothing but the right kind of attention and a bonus from this is that people tend to park there cars a little way a way from the sides of the DeLorean as they incorrectly think that the gullwings will swing out smashing the sides of there car...

  I have quite a loud exhuast on my car and one of the reasons for that is so that drivers can hear me coming and therefore will not accidently pull out into me.  I have put 20k on my car in 5 years and so far so good.  If anything does go wrong we have a huge volume of spares available...
   
  Kind regards,
  Chris Hawes

of you owners resist driving the car due to worries of other drivers. 
Or dings in parking lots. Or....?
