can say that in the same context of the Wright Bros and Henry As far as 
JZD, - well he just screwed up.


Here's a final thought for you - if the Delorean is such a "mechanical 
wonder" why do you
compare it to a "mid 80's Lotus Esprit" (same for Bricklin) - shouldn't the 
standard be the
Bricklin and/or Delorean.

I guess some people can't figure out simple things,my meaning of saying a B 
and D
owner since 1980 meant that I have owned a Bricklin since 1980,and a 
Delorean 
since the beginning (1981)Also Mal.Bricklin did not build the Yugo,he was 
the 
legalized sole importer,as he was for the Suburu,also the reason I said the 
Lotus esprit,is because anybody that knows anything about Deloreans,knows 
that Lotus engineering did the total engineering on the Delorean,they 
started 
with a clean sheet of paper,using the basic concepts from the lotus 
esprit,look at a Lotus Esprit frame layout and suspension layout and you 
will 
see that they are the same basic concepts,in fact some of the parts from a 
Lotus Esprit will fit/bolt on directly on the Delorean.
