why is my Delorean so s**t and reliable as a chocolat teapot

Postby delorean12uk » Sat Aug 29, 2009 10:57 am

I know i've left the 'E' of off chocolate but I had to sacrifice a letter because the Topic bar isn't long enough. And to be totally honest I don't care because I am absolutely and totally and completely pi**ed off!!!! That stainless piece of c**p is going to ruin me I know it. As fast as I repair the damn thing something else goes pear shaped!!! Every week it's something new that goes Pete Tong, the car does not want to work, it wants to be broken all the time. I was even thinking of going on to the over 18's bit and just having a complete & utter repeative swear up because thats how I feel. Last week, all of a sudden the lights didn't work, one minute they did, and then the next they didn't, like everything else on the stinking P.O.S. So during the week I repaired them, not even having to look at any manuals because I know them off by heart!!!!Last night it let me down again, but I'm not going to say another word, I will let the pictures do the talking!!!!

Put it this way, the AA man was impressed about having to pick up a Delorean, unfortunately I was somewhat bemused. I did suggest to the kind recovery man though, that we could do what they did in the Italian job, and push the bloody car off the back on the first bend we came across!!!!
Vin: Friday afternoon car, because the bastard thing likes to break all the time

Sorry to hear that. You've got my sympathy.

Unfortunately for all of us, you are not the only one who had his D on a flatbed. Mine broke down on the way to my brother's wedding, for crying out loud. :cry:

We seem to have a celebrity in our midst. An actual Dunmurry employee! I feel so cool right now... (Hi Neal)

In my opinion: its not your fault, Neal. You guys tried to keep the factory open..
