Re: [DML] DeLorean on Monster Garage - Was: Delorean mention on Jeopardy!

Ken,

I was absolutely shocked (and mad) when I saw your email. I recently 
have had some dealings with George Barris regarding my Delorean Time 
Machine. He wanted to rent it so that he could claim that it was THE 
Back to the Future Delorean.

He claimed he had "purchased" the rights to make such as claim from 
Universal Studios. I refused to cooperate in any such advertising unless 
he showed me proof of his claim.

THe story then changed that he bought one of the original ABC cars from 
Jay Orberg (who was involved in the original BTTF cars) but it caught on 
fire and was destroyed. Again, I wanted proof of this and none was 
provided.

George then threatened me and said if he ever saw my car at a show he 
would tell the show promoters that my car was a fake and not the Back to 
the Future Car. !! I said fine because I have never claimed that it is. 
(As you know, Mine is much better!!1 :-D )

Unfortunately, George Barris is very wealthly and has lots of 
connections. If he claims to have made a movie car most people believe 
him. It is just a shame the Monster Garage fell for his false claims.
