I really like that one. Its positive. Such a shame about the silly US safety and emissions regulations; the company could have been (more) successful. All it needed was the Euro version (another 20-30hp and a proper suspension height) in NA and all the major reviews would have been much better and the whole 'DeLoreans are slow' stigma probably wouldn't have developed.
Thanks for posting.

I think we all know that Space Corps Directive 452.3 applies here

+1,

...however, a quick google search revealed this wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Corps_Directives) that conveys the gist of it. :)

Barrie played Rimmer, a brown nosing sycophant who always quoted the space ship rule book, but always got the # wrong.

Hey thanks David, I never knew that someone prepared an actual list. Don't bother looking up the number I quoted, I just made it up for comic effect.

Great TV show, particularly the first 5 seasons

Directive 34124 is always fun

np, thanks for introducing us to some humor from across the pond. :biggrin:

452.3? Any officer caught sniffing the saddle of the exercise bicycle in the women's gym, will be discharged without trial?

It was on PBS here for many years. You may be able to pick it up in your local library.

A cross between Start Trek and Doctor Who - Star Treks adventures on alien planets combined with DW's awesome special effects :tongue2: There are plenty of clips on YouTube


Anyway, back to the OP. That was a very interesting and fair review of the car, particularly in terms of the era in which it was made.

I love how the C5 has a Lotus designed chassis. It's the DeLorean's long lost cousin.

More of a connection than you may think, Barrie Wills was the Managing Director !!

The section in the workshop was our old place and the car Chris is driving is my original "baby" #1458. Actually the sequence features three of my restored cars.

I am a big Red Dwarf fan too.... have been since I was a kid.
