Hey lads, and especially guys in England, With the thread over on that other list ;) about whether the DMC is American or English or Irish or whatever, it got me thinking about something that you might be able to clear up. When out and about with your cars over in England, how do you find public opinion of it? As far as I can see, most English people have a very negative attitude about the DeLorean. Of course I'm talking to the converted here - you wouldn't own one if you had negative opinions on the car... Basically I'm talking about the people who had no connection with the company, just have formed opinions on what they have read in the pre-dominantly negative British press about the car, I'm assuming... I had my car out at a car show here in Ireland last summer. Based on the comments made by people from England at that show, and also with converstions I've had about the car with English people both here in Europe and any that approached me in the USA, they all seem to think John DeLorean is a gangster, the car is crap, and that it was a huge waste of public money. I do meet the odd enlightened individual who will know better than the silly rumours, but not often. I suppose my question is why is the press over there so hell-bent on giving the car and man a bad name, even though many of you consider the DeLorean to be a British car? Quentin Willson seems to go to extraordinary lengths to form a bad opinion of the car in as many people's heads as possible. I once contacted Quentin's agent, and asked him could he arrange an interview between myself and Quentin. He said sure, that should be no problem, what did I want to talk to Quentin about? I replied that I wanted to talk about his opinions on DeLoreans, and gave my website about him and his opinions: http://homepage.eircom.net/~johndore/Quentin.htm I never heard any more from him, I wonder why?
