Forward from Kelvin Dodd at Moss Motors:





You know you are a DPO when......




You realize that you can get more money parting the car than selling it.



Your orders from JC Whitney exceed those from British Parts Specialist
companies



The tools in your garage that get used the most are a hammer and cutting
torch



The fuzzy seat covers clash with the deep pile shag carpet on the floor



The battery you relocated falls through the corroded boot floor



You get splinters from the steering wheel you found at a swap meet



You only use coarse thread bolts, because if you use enough force they
will work on all thread designs



There is a large pile of "left over" bits in the corner of your garage
every time you work on the car



Every time you start to work on the car, you can hear the sound of Lord
Nuffield turning over.



You stop telling parts suppliers what year and type of car you have,
because it's no longer useful to anyone.



You shop for ignition parts and radiator hoses at K Mart



The wipers come on with the headlights, ever since you worked on the
electrics.



AAA offers to buy you a new car, rather than tow your old one, one more
time



You use a shoe box to protect your distributor from anti freeze leaking
out of a cracked head













K.
