Hey Martin, That was a pretty pointless post you made. Why bring politics into this discussion when it has absolutely nothing to do with it? All I was saying was that I can't understand why some people say the DeLorean is an english car - it simply doesn't make sense!! Neither for that matter does it make sense to say that the car is Irish. It is an American car, built by an American company and assembled by both Irish and english workers. Manufacturing location has absolutely nothing to do with the nationality of a product, as I pointed out in my previous posting. I mean, what were you trying to prove, that the car is english? To me you didn't prove anything, only that you feel insecure about something I said in my post, and felt you had to let the world know your political views of Belfast. I mean really, who cares? 21 years ago, the 50/50 Irish/English workers of DMC didn't care, they were simply glad to have a good job under John Z. DeLorean, and left their political views at the gate. So why all these years later should you care? Especially seeing as you and I have the worlds coolest car in common with each other, thanks to John DeLorean bringing our respective people together to assemble it in Belfast, and also seeing as we will probably (hopefully) meet up at some car shows in the near future, why go and bring petty political views into a completely unrealted discussion? Today Belfast is in much better shape than it was 21 years ago, thanks mainly to Bill Clinton. What the people in Belfast don't need now is attitudes like yours, people who are quick on the draw to shout something stupid like "N. Ireland belongs to england!!" or the other guys to shout back "No, it doesn't it belongs to Ireland!". It needs rational, tolerant people who realise that none of that crap matters, and that there is more to life. May I kindly suggest you go out and drive your DeLorean, and read posts more carefully next time before firing off irrelevant replies that have no place on any DeLorean Mailing list. I'm sure there are lists out there where you can discuss the crazy political history of Belfast, Ireland and England, and people will be glad to argue back and forth with you on the issue, while I'm out driving around aimlessly just thinking happy thoughts :) Best wishes, John VIN #3810. --- In DMCForum@xxxx, Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx> wrote: > Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom.
