(I prepped this last week, planning to post on Friday, but we know what happened then......)
Sunday, as you probably can’t fail to have seen on TV was the 100th anniversary of the Titanic’s sinking, arguably the most famous cruise liner in the world, designed and built at Belfast Shipyard.
But perhaps you didn’t know that the Shipyard is located only about 7 miles from where your DeLorean was built and and the Titanic slipway is located just across the waterway from where the cars would be loaded on their transport ship 70 years later. Perhaps the great-grandchild of one of the men who built the ship also built your car.
For many years, the Titanic was something that wasn’t really talked about in N Ireland, at least not with any real pride. However finally, the province has worked out what a potential tourist attraction it could be (possibly after the huge success of the 1997 movie) and have established a Titanic Exhibition, within the revitalized Titanic Quarter, with recreations of various themes of the ship and the design offices

Perhaps in another 70 years there will be a DeLorean Quarter, but probably only if someone makes a successful movie about the car.
