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.

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

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 effectsThere 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.
