[DML] Re: DeLorean: Surely, Life Wasn't a Waste

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Although the passing of JZD is distressing for all of us his legacy of
"Living The Dream" will live on through us in our admiration for him
and his car. That's not so bad.

 BTW I believe the reason why the company, DMC, went down had a lot to
do with the politics in England as much as the recession in the US.
The government could have kept the company going but did not want to
be seen as promoting an American Capitalist on the backs of the
English taxpayer. The level of vengance can be seen in the way the
government disposed of the assets. They did not even try to get
another auto manufacturer to take the factory or the equipment. They
(the government) also had it in for the Irish and did not want to see
them succeed. Instead they went on a witch hunt looking for fraud. If
it wasn't the government's fault it had to be a corrupt buisnessman
that they could persecute and blame for the failure. Just My Humble
Opinion. They could keep the Concorde going and it never made money
and never could.
