Andy / List, There are lots of books, myths, rumour and legends about the whole DeLorean story. I am sure all of them have "truth" in there some where, they are often contriductory and always give a different "spin" on events. If all the books were the same then the later one's would not sell! I sometimes get a bit upset when some "youngster" picks up a book or an magazine article and then relates this "sudden insight" to every one around. Such as it was "all a British government conspiracy", etc. My advice is read ALL the books on the subject, think about what you would have done in these difficult situations and gradually form a balanced view of historical events. My personal view is that JZD was a man with great insight and talent, he eventually produced a car that was different from all the rest. He should be proud of that. I am very proud to own a piece of this history. I don't think he was a saint, I don't think he was blameless. I don't think he was or is, any worse than most of our "Leaders" in politics or industry. If we could re-run our lives again, I am sure we would all change a few things..hind-site is a wonderful thing! Live the dream...drive and enjoy the car! If I were lucky enough to meet JZD in the street, It would be one of the best days on my life! Chris P. DOC UK ( personal view)
