No problems in Northern Ireland

[senatorpack@xxxx]

Dear DML,

The people in Northern Ireland are very friendly and inviting. During our 
1997 expo there, Scott Muller, James Espey, Scott Rabilias, and I were 
invited inside of a gentleman's 20 story apartment to photograph the DeLorean 
plant. He even offered us tea. Not many people in the US would do that, let 
alone help you if you break down on the freeway.

The security guards of the plant allowed us to take a private tour, just 
the 4 of us, and we were treated exceptionally well.

Additionally, Not many police officers would allow me to drive their 
police cars in the United States, however the police in Northern Ireland did.
(I think I scared them driving their Rover police car around the DeLorean 
test track going the wrong way)
The Police even invited us (Rob & Debbie Grady, Scott Mueller and I) to 
the Royal Ulster Constabulary for another Private Tour. The only private tour 
in the USA police depts is if you're in for booking.

Robert Lamrock really does an outstanding job organizing and planning the 
event. I hope that the DeLorean Owners Association and everyone that attends 
gives him a big THANK YOU for all of his efforts.

You should make every effort to stay in the same hotel. You never know 
when a party will happen. It is also wise since the Europa Hotel Belfast is 
outstanding. Four Stars, First Class Hotel.

Everywhere we went, the citizens of Northern Ireland went out of their 
way to make us feel very welcome.
I have encountered some friendly people in my travels of the world. The 
people in Belfast Northern Ireland were the most hospitable ever.

If you have an opportunity to attend the Belfast expo...GO and don't 
worry!

In addition, while I was in Germany & Switzerland the Mad Cow panic was 
constantly on the BBC and CNN warning about meat.
The finest restaurants in Europe and junk food establishments (McDonalds) 
were still open. The supermarkets still had meat for sale. The water was 
still fresh and the air still clean. Don't believe the naive media...they 
even get the DeLorean story wrong.
