Folks, This English tabloid writer is something else with his article. I had many English cars in my life time ranging from Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Jaguars, and other marques. I had driven many other English cars too. Some are good and many are less desirable on my or anyone's list. I still have a "Crew" manufactured 1957 Bentley since 1973. All of these cars has and are plagued with problems. To start with, Lucas electrical system! Need I say more? Wire for fire or hope for no smoke? Did this tabloid writer every address these automotive problems of his own country's marques? Many of my friends who are car connoisseurs jeer and laugh at the English cars. I still kept the English car for what it is, for its good or its bad. The DeLorean is a considered an English manufactured motor car. It is made in Ireland, so it is English? Maybe this writer don't like IRISH produced cars from an American engineer? Since his writing is so able and keen to surgically cut up the DeLorean motorcar on its weakness, maybe he should put his criticisms where it is necessary -- to help save his country's automotive industries. This writer should have addressed his own country's automotive problems and manufactures like R-R will not have fallen into BMW, Bentley will not fallen into VW and Jaguar wouldn't have fallen into the Ford ownership. Which English auto manufacture is next? We, the DeLorean owners of the and users of the DMC-12, we understand our cars and we know how wrong this writer is. After all, Mr. John Z. DeLorean knew the problems with GM. He addressed it by boosting GM from it financial down slide with his GTO. He had saved GM's other branches with his great innovations for the Chevy Blazer and the Corvette. He had "saved" GM several times and given it life back then. "God Save the Queen" and the English Cars -- what ever is still left. Kayo Ong #05508 Lic 9D NY
