A small section on DMC, but enough to make my blood boil. :gunfire:

Seriously tempted to add some "colourful", but postable comments to this author from his remarks.

I hope some of you guys do as to show how strong the DMC brand is on this planet.

"The ego of the man is shown by the car's name, DeLorean DMC-12."

Ah, that old chestnut. Yes, John DeLorean was the only man in history egotistical enough to name a car company after himself -- unlike AMG, Aston Martin, Audi, Bugatti, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Citroën, Daimler-Benz, De Tomaso, Ducati, Duesenberg, Ferrari, Ford, Honda, Lamborghini, Mazda, Morgan, Nash, Oldsmobile, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Rolls-Royce, Suzuki, and Toyota, none of which were named after... oh... wait. :rolleyes1:
