[doc] Re: Delorean Press

["colmnugent" <colm.nugent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I suspect it's because the in the original batch of cars the doors 
were hung manually and the seals were fitted by the workforce who 
were at that stage still on a steep learning curve - I mean where do 
you get previous experience of fitting a gull-wing door?  As the 
process became mechanised, the door fitting problem faded but by 
then the initial PR damage had been done.

As an aside, I was wondering if anyone knew whether it was lawful or 
unlawful to drive the car on the public road with the doors in the 
opened position?  

Obviously, you need to do so slowly and on a calm day, but I just 
wondered...  The BMW Z1's doors drop into the bodywork and this does 
not appear to be illegal.
