well said Rich :o) Another observation I made throughout the event, was that not once did you hear some muppet yell "where's the flux capacitor" or a smug remark of "I own abit of that car" (to which I normally reply "yeah, and you own a bit of the Millenium Dome too"). Every person that I met in Ireland was friendly, genuine, had interesting stories to tell, were pleased to see us all and the cars, were interested in the car and were appreciative of the hope that John DeLorean tried to to bring to Northern Ireland during some of its darkest days. For me, Eurofest 2006 was fun, exhillarating, sociable, and, at times very emotional.
