Radio Shack

If you go motoring in the DeLorean, just remember to bring heavy weather gear. DeLoreans have many less than admirable qualities to compliment their geek-appeal. They leak from every passenger compartment related gasket and seal -- especially the windscreen. They have the go of a Volvo wagon -- because that's where they got the engine (not that this was such a bad thing in 1981-2) just don't try any Porche slaying. They also have unreliable cooling systems. This has nothing to do with the location of the engine. It's because the radiators up front and the lines running back to front corrode with breath-taking speed and performance.... almost that of a Volvo wagon. I became overly intimate with the long dead marque, when a flatmate ( full time truck mechanic) took such a beast on as a side project. It haunted the driveway for six months, making it damned awkward to get my Kawasaki in and out of it's paddock. Can't say he ever had a kind word for the stainless steel lawn ornament. He was just glad someone was giddy enough to want it fixed up. The DeLorean's owner got well and truly milked. My flatmate used is ne're do well gains to got well and truly sauced. I can, as a result, say that if you wanted to get a computer into a DeLorean -- you'll require the upgraded shink-a-matic ray gun. The standard model would never hack it.
