Right, I aint a massive car fan, once the thing moves I'm happy, but last week all 80s kids got closer to one of their dreams... Owning a DeLorien car. A guy from Texas managed to buy all the parts after the British Government liquidated the factory in '83 (which was just outside Belfast, NI) and got John DeLorien's permission to use the name...

Anyhow, good article here

Ahh good old John DeLorean, £100million of government money and a fantastic car design that could have been succesfull and still managed to end up trafficking cocaine...*

Anyway I'm a great fan of the original DMC-12 and hope they can produce something equally as good.

*he was found not guilty due to entrapment, which basically means that he trafficked cocaine because FBI agents enticed him to,
