[DML] Re: DeLorean's dumped into the sea?

["thebrave65" <johnnysher1@xxxxxxx>]

Well, here's what I was told about the fabled "buried cars" of 
DeLorean.

During one of our recent local club get togethers, we had a guest 
speaker who was involved in the production of the taillights.  When 
questioned about the buried cars, he told us that the cars that were 
buried were the mules and not any completed models.  These mules are 
briefly touched on in Stainless Illusion.

>From what I understand, these cars were terrible vehilces and you 
really didn't want to even touch them because of the rough fiberglass 
bodies.  Lotus had control of these test vehicles and after DMC went 
south, the mules were smashed at a wreaking junkyard and then buried 
on site.  

If I remember correctly, it was about 20 mules.

So if you decide to get out your metal detector and go DeLorean 
hunting, you may be in for some disapointment.

No stainless panels were harmed in the making of this thread.
