Seems the tide is finally turning on how automotive critics view the historic accomplishment that pulling off the DMC-12 truly was:

Maybe it's just me, but the article kinda reads like a high school teens first draft of an essay.

At any rate, it's Road and Track; I guess i better not look a gift horse in the mouth!

It's not bad writing at all IMO, and far more informative than others.

The biggest thing however is that it's written by Máté Petrány. Given some of his negativity in the past towards the DeLorean and arguments we've had about it, I'm genuinely surprised and very happy to see such positivity from him!

It is crucially important that we support those who are friendly towards our marque.

The article didn't strike me as all that special, but the video link it contained certainly did.

Here is the video:

I see that it was only uploaded a couple of days ago. I had not seen it before, nor some of the footage and much of the interviews.

That video, to me, is one of the best I have ever seen. It sort of unfolds like an audio book version of Nick Sutton's DeLorean Story.

You can really get the sense that the people involved in the company back in the day were and still are beaming with pride telling their story. I have only had my car since 2007, yet I could feel that sense of pride in being part of all of this after watching that too.

I just got in from work and finished watching the video myself. Incredibly moving.

On a side note, it's so interesting to see so many of the faces from the Pennebaker Hegedus documentary 35 years later. Folks like Mike Kimberly, Barrie Wills, Colin Spooner, etc who seemed perpetually stressed during the Pennebaker Hegedus film are just beaming at their accomplishments here.

I just finished Nick Sutton's book this morning. This video is a fantastic companion to it. It really demonstrated allot of what Nick was talking about when it came to the enthusiasm and abilities of the workforce, how successful the project really was, and how damn foolish it was to terminate the entire thing.

The part where they show the last right side door is pretty sad.

I would love to have this set-up on a loop playing off a tablet or something at car shows. So many people don't know the story and only mention BTTF or cocaine as they pass by. Reading Nick's book was the first time I genuinely understood there was a very real personal side to all of this. Real people's lives were very much affected by the car. And being proud about what they accomplished there comes through loud and clear.
