[DMCForum] Re: Watch that wankel go!

["John Dore" <dmcjohn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That was one fast DeLorean, Jim gave me a drive in it one night in 
Boston. He ended up spinning out at 100mph on a bend, and we slid 
across a 4 lane highway that was intersecting our road, we slid 
through red lights across this junction, thru lots of traffic coming 
at us from both sides at right angles to us... Still don't know how 
we survived it! I didn't have my saftey belt on at the time which was 
worse, and tried to grab it when the car went out of control, but 
then realised it was obviously too late... I always wear a belt 
nowadays :)

Haven't heard from Jim for a while, is he still on the list?
