Re: [DML] Delorean Myths/DeLorean facts

[Christian Williams <delorean@xxxx>]

Amen! Since I first bought my car, my best friend has always said that I
need a "fact sheet" about the DeLorean to keep in the car. We should
include a quick history of the company "started by former GM exec,
manufactured in ireland, company fell because of 'fill in the blank'". We
should also include facts, such as:
1. Stainless Steel body
2. PRV V6 engine
3. 5 speed manual and 3 speed automatic
And most importantly, a section on JDZ that dispells any drug rumours and
explains what a horrible footnote in history all the rumours are. It's a
damn shame that so many people in the world only know of the name
"DeLorean" as either a Back to the Future car or as "that drug guy". It's
time to set the world straight.

Ken, let me know if any of my design/computer ability can help in this
cause. Guys, let's all pull together and not let anyone see a DeLorean
again without learning the facts.
