[DMCForum] RE: [DML] Re: My Delorean to be on VH1 and in the theaters!!

[Delorean Mid-Altantic Club <clubevents@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A rep from VH1 actually told me that they had to make apologies to the
Delorean Estate about the bad publicity it generated.  HOWEVER...you have to
realize that the show is a bunch of actors from other TV Shows, etc.
reminiscing on the events of that time...it is NOT scripted by the studio.
Lets face it...we all know how much abuse we all take for the cocaine
history so you have to figure it will come up that way.

When I was in NYC, EVERYONE was asking about the car, but one guy (you
always get one) made it a point to tell me that "Deloreans were crap...they
don't ever work, and are just crap".  I tried to correct his image of the
car, but he was not interested in it.   I simply told him "yeah..I own one
and know hundreds of other owners, but YOU must be an authority on the
topic."   and walked away.

Sounds like a cool day Kevin! 

 I just hope that this version of "I Love the 80's" is a leap above their
last shows.  The "I Love 81" segment they did on the original "I Love the
80's" series had to be one of the most negative and incorrect depictions of
the Delorean story I have ever seen.  Especially when the wise ass host says
John Delorean liked a little too much of the coke-aina, or whatever slang
term he used for coke implying thats why the car failed and it was a joke.
Plus the other negative comments.  I would be surprised if this third
installment is a postive depiction, but hopefully it is.  I think I would
have requested a copy of the script and a nice paycheck before lending my
car LOL.

I just got home from a video shoot with VH1 in NYC today.  They are using my
Delorean for some promo spots for the upcoming "I love the 80s - 3D" (third
installment of the series)

I was on the shooting location from 10:00-6:30 today and it was a treat to
not only work with the crew, but to see how much interest my car generated
by passers by, the actors, and the crew!
