Re: [DML] A disservice to our car



Welcome to the world of Quentin "slap-head" Willson. He's the single largest source of misinformation on the DeLorean in the whole world. For some reason, he has a chip on his shoulder about the car. The largest bug-bear was the UK TV show The Car's The Star, in which not ONE good word was given on the car, and a hell of a lot of half-truths and downright un-truths were given. Subsequently I've seen TCTS on the Edsel, and Quents was very complimentary of its "collectableness" today. I spend an inordinate amount of time at shows correcting people's "knowledge" of the D, all down to people watching or reading Quentin.

If I ever meet him, I'll hardly be able to resist thumping him.

There's a LOT more about him on my website here:

(see "Mirror Article" and "The Car's the Star")

Interestingly, on other car shows, even Quentin's "colleagues" from BBC's Top Gear (Jeremy Clarkson, Tiff Needell) have given the DeLorean an approving nod.

In Sam's Club yesterday, I picked up a very beautifully illustrated book. It's title was "Car's: A Celebration." Curious, I turned to the 'D" section to find the DeLorean. There were two great pictures surrounded by negative captions and balloons. The author, Quentin Willson, inaccurately described every flaw the car had and had not one good thing to say about the car or John Z. DeLorean.
I flipped through the book to see what he had to say about other unsuccessful cars, the Edsel in particular. None of them including the edsel got the shameful treatment that he gave the DMC. Does anyone know who this guy is? And what burr he has under his saddle with regards to the DMC?
