Hi Everyone, I must agree with David...there is too many factors against the British government that they could have changed. Let me explain: First, we must remember...the DeLorean Manufacturing Company was a brand new plant. The actual DeLorean *Motor* Company did not begin operating until sometime in 1980. True, Parliament had thrown millions of pounds into the project, but everyone knows that a company needs five years to produce a profit. Given that, Parliament could have loaned small amounts at a time...just enough to keep things running smoothly. Chunk it up. They could have also helped by not demanding all workers to be hired at once. And when DMC went into receivership--several months before John DeLorean's wrongful arrest--they could have stepped in and watched over things until the ball was rolling again. They could have sold the facility to another manufacturer...everything was already set up....just reconfigure to your car. Lotus or someone else may have been elated! But anyway, as I digress, there are several factors on behalf of the British government that could have been changed to make things run more smoothly., given things weren't so heated with political debate back then. It's late, I'm tired, my thoughts have become mush. I'm going to bed now! Later Dayz, Robert G. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
