A rep from VH1 actually told me that they had to make apologies to the Delorean Estate about the bad publicity it generated. HOWEVER...you have to realize that the show is a bunch of actors from other TV Shows, etc. reminiscing on the events of that time...it is NOT scripted by the studio. Lets face it...we all know how much abuse we all take for the cocaine history so you have to figure it will come up that way. When I was in NYC, EVERYONE was asking about the car, but one guy (you always get one) made it a point to tell me that "Deloreans were crap...they don't ever work, and are just crap". I tried to correct his image of the car, but he was not interested in it. I simply told him "yeah..I own one and know hundreds of other owners, but YOU must be an authority on the topic." and walked away. -----Original Message----- From: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of DmcGman@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, August 07, 2005 4:08 PM To: delorean@xxxxxxxxx; dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Kevin Abato; DMCForum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [DML] Re: My Delorean to be on VH1 and in the theaters!! Sounds like a cool day Kevin! I just hope that this version of "I Love the 80's" is a leap above their last shows. The "I Love 81" segment they did on the original "I Love the 80's" series had to be one of the most negative and incorrect depictions of the Delorean story I have ever seen. Especially when the wise ass host says John Delorean liked a little too much of the coke-aina, or whatever slang term he used for coke implying thats why the car failed and it was a joke. Plus the other negative comments. I would be surprised if this third installment is a postive depiction, but hopefully it is. I think I would have requested a copy of the script and a nice paycheck before lending my car LOL. Gary -------------- Original message -------------- I just got home from a video shoot with VH1 in NYC today. They are using my Delorean for some promo spots for the upcoming "I love the 80s - 3D" (third installment of the series) I was on the shooting location from 10:00-6:30 today and it was a treat to not only work with the crew, but to see how much interest my car generated by passers by, the actors, and the crew!
