Marc,
There is one small outbreak of Foot and Mouth in a remote rural part of 
Ireland but it is currently under control by the agriculture authorities 
here. Press reports in Britain should not be confused with Ireland - 
there's a large pond called the Irish sea that seperates the two countries. 
Eurofest 2001 does not intend visting any farms during the convention and to 
the best of my knowledge F & M does not affect the DeLorean car anyway, and 
neither does it affect humans! The event is three months away and so far we 
have had registrations confirmed from several countries, so short of bubonic 
plague breaking out there's nothing to get excited about. Your concern 
about the US Customs not letting you back home is total nonsense!
Best wishes,
Robert Lamrock
