I think with all the other myth and folklore about our cars, this is a minor issue. Even if some people do take notice of this little bit of information, it will not drastically change the general publics knowledge in any major way. If anything, they should put a disclaimer(s) that Delorean was not smuggling drugs in the cars, that he is CURRENTLY still in jail, etc....etc..etc.... -----Original Message----- From: therealdmcvegas [mailto:DMCVegas@xxxx] Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2002 9:38 AM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [DML] Re: Help prevent Propagation of Delorean Myths from BTTF That is definately a fact about the cars being used in the films that I was unaware of. Any idea as to why someone would go to all the trouble to do a complete engine swap, let alone one for a smaller engine for the movie shoots? Perhaps this could greatly shed some light as to why some people insist that the cars came with 4 cylinder engines. Though if true, perhaps the wording used on the new DVD's should be modified to give a disclaimer to say that the original V6 was replaced. -Robert vin 6585 "X" -Moderators: I know that BTTF topics are normal discouraged on the list here. However, this does indeed appear to be a specific topic directly relating to our cars. --- In dmcnews@xxxx, "Stephen Clark" <stephen@xxxx> wrote: > --- In dmcnews@xxxx, "Palatinus, Joe" <jopalatinus@xxxx> wrote: > > I recently purchased the DVD version Back to the Future (its > available > > in England now) In the commentary it says that all Deloreans had 4 > > cylinder Volvo engines. > > The "Animated Anecdotes" trivia track on the DVDs is speaking > specifically about the seven DeLoreans used in the three films, not > the other 8,576 cars which were not.
