1. there was no Euro-Spec, these Cars where all the same. Take a look at the Parts Catalogue online. The Car was never delivered to Euro Countrys, cause this would have needed several Changes, like bo Side Markers, other front Turn Signals, Wiring, etc... 7 2. where is the AC gone ? / 3.the Doors are not "heavy", they are balanced by gas Struts and Torsion bars. Talking about "heavy" lets people think they need to lift heavy weights. You just pull the Lever and they swing up. / 4.the Steering is accurate - rebuild the Parts and get them to Status "new", then it´s accurate. / 5. It´s NOT based on a LOTUS Espeit Chassis, that´s a Legend / Bullshit! / 6.ALL Bushings in all Cars move and "Wobble", thats on purpose - swap them to simply new ones and the Car rides smooth again. / 7.you may should maintain your Car better, then your Speedo would work, / 8.... cancelled the Video after 15 Minutes, cause full of Nonsens....

You are comparing a nearly 40 Year old worn out and fucked up Car. Drive mine, restored to almost new and THEN compare. Sorry, Buddy, bud your Video is full on Nonsens and Myths. Well, I missed the "Doors opening in small Spaces - BS" .... ;-)

How do I know this? Well, I restored one and I own a DeLorean... Got EVERY available Book about this Vehicle.

I'll await his own version of this video, no doubt the production values will blow yours out of the water. ;)

Btw, if you haven't done a complete strip down and rebuild to the last nut and bolt, then your car is shit in his eyes. :)

Obviously my body off antics aren't enough for him, as my car is 'poorly maintained' and 'worn out and fucked up'. Lol.

I was talking to Arran yesterday about a known troll who was bashing British engineering as a whole - is this the same guy?

As I was reading that, I was thinking "that sounds just like that German guy on FB always complaining about how shit the car is, and he should know as he's restored one.

woo, there it is. :lol:

He's got into it with a few serial DeLorean restorers on FB (Gary Frank comes to mind), and even DaveS. at DMCMW, about quality of workmanship (both from the factory and their own work).

Interesting guy.

Yes, this is the same guy - he uses a couple of different names, not sure what his real name is - just a standard troll - probably a 16 year old kid having a laugh. He said something about how shite the British engineering of the car was once and Gary D commented "well there was nothing wrong with the Spitfire" :lol: - the post got deleted for "racism" in the end I think :lol:
