I don't always drive cars, but when I do, I prefer DeLoreans

No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"
I have received an offer to publish the book - I'm giving this some thought over the next few days.
Good stuff.
Keep us posted
I'm at a bit of a loss on this one too.
The Center item near the junction of the A11 & B1135 appears to be the Lotus Plant.
Left item is the Barnham Broom Country Club.
Right item is the village of Stoke Holy Cross.
The distance between the two isn't exactly the same, with perhaps a mile and a half of difference. If I was a betting man I'd say that this was a map drawn for a visitor who wasn't familiar with the area, and would have been behind the wheel of that car. Specifically it looks like they needed to find their way between Lodging in Stoke Holy Cross, meetings at Group Lotus, and drinks at Barnham Broom Country Club. But that's just my guess...
During my research for “Flight of the DeLorean “ I wanted to trace the names and faces of the attendees at the groundbreaking ceremony for the factory that took place on 2nd October 1978. I have managed – with the help of others- to identify most of those present. Just one face to go and I’ve got the complete set.
Canon Padraig Murphy was one person that was invited to the ceremony, he represented the Catholic Church of West Belfast which included the parishes of Twinbrook, Suffolk, Falls, Divis, Andersonstown and Ballymurphy. He is shown on the left of the picture to the rear of John DeLorean.
Unemployment in West Belfast at the time was rife with dire poverty of a kind not usually found in a Western country.
To assist the under privileged, the sick and homeless Mother Teresa (of Calcutta ) based herself in the area with four other Sisters of Mercy her presence didn’t go down well with Canon Murphy so after 18 months she was forced out of the area and onwards to other impoverished areas of the world.
The headlines in the local Andersonstown News following her despatch was:-
“ Nuns fired by Canon “ Priceless!
Mother Teresa had the last laugh as she was beatified by the Pope the first step to Sainthood

Interesting bit of information Nick, Thanks. I talked to you at length about the upcoming book at the Delorean Car Show a few weeks ago, sounds very promising. I'm greatful that you are so active in the DMC community, and willing to share so much information.

Thank you Jeremy - yes I remember our conversation.I'll keep you and others informed regarding the publication date. I assure you the book will be very different to all other books you have read on the subject of DeLorean Motor Cars.

Any idea of the release date approximately?
Thanks
Hi Domi,
The publisher reckons January 2013 - which will be 30 years after I left the factory for the last time.
