Re: [doc] New poll for doc-uk

["Stian Birkeland" <delorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi -

I created the poll just 4 fun - vote or don't :)
I got the idea when I noticed that there are election buttons for 
sale on Ebay - "DeLorean owners for Kerry" - "DeLorean owners for 
Bush". 

Btw - did you all know that there are conspiracy rumours that has to 
do with DeLorean-Carter-Reagan?

The Carter administration (Democratic) supposedly were the ones 
who "allowed" the DeLorean to be imported to the US. Rumour has it 
that strong forces (read: other auto manufacturers)tried to prevent 
the DeLorean from ever crossing the Atlantic to begin with.

The Reagan administration (Republican) supposedly were very friendly 
toward Britain's Iron Lady (you know who) and both had their reasons 
for putting DeLorean out of business. Him - for aiding the other auto 
manufacturers. Her - for cutting off the funding of the Belfast 
venture.

Coincidence or not - it seems very strange that DeLorean got arrested 
the same day the factory closed. FBI/MI5 agreement?

All in all - politics also contributed to the downfall of DeLorean 
Motor Cars Ltd.
