Fire at the DMC factory

["jamesrguk" <James_rg@xxxx>]

Hi all,

I work in Colchester and my D has being playing around a bit lately 
and as I am a good friend with one of the mechanics in the council 
garages opposite I asked him to have a look at the engine later this 
week.

Anyway turns out that he was working for the Army in Ireland in the 
1970's and early 80's and was called out the DeLorean factory when 
there was a fire there. With tensions high anything suspicious or 
thought to be the work of terrorist groups had to be dealt with via 
the army.

He said that he witnessed at least 3 DeLorean cars on fire and 
believes that 8 were lost in the fire. I wondered if this is true, I 
know there was a fire but didn't know that there were cars lost. I 
have no reason to doubt him.

He said it brought a tear to his eye when he saw them destroyed, he 
was there for 6 hours while they investigated the scene and he told 
me that although, in his mind, it was obviously a terrorist act that 
no terrorist group ever admitted to starting the fire.

Weird,


James RG
