[DML] DeLorean in BBC's "Watchdog" programme

["Stian Birkeland" <dmc_norway@xxxx>]

Hello all!
Go and take a look at the video. It's really great!
This reporter makes the DeLorean look real good (in comparison to the 
Quentin Willson's comments). Notice the (unknown) reporter's use of 
well-spoken language. He creates a suspense, some pauses along with the 
panning of the camera and suddenly the DeLorean is there! Imagine what this 
will do to the DeLorean enthusiasts out there. The DeLorean was 
well-presented as the "time-machine"...or as the reporter put it "...days of 
week don't matter with this car - it's a DeLorean!

Enthusiastic speech!
Then we get a glimpse of Simon Lees-Milne's DeLorean from the inside with 
Simon dressed up as the Doc. From what I can see, the timepad is actually a 
calculator (!) and the digital display that suddenly pops out inside the 
glovebox is a computer-generated image (thanks Martin Gutkowski) 
superimposed on the back of what seems to be the black pouch of the original 
DeLorean manual. What is interesting, however, is the "dummy switch" nearest 
the driver on the centerconsole. It has a red switch in the middle, and 
according to Martin Gutkowski this is the ONLY FACTORY INSTALLED SWITCH FOR 
FOGLIGHTS ON THE DELOREAN!

Ah, finally a DeLorean movie that creates excitement for our fine 
automobile. Great free advertising those few seconds it lasted.

Best wishes
