Hey guys...it happened last Saturday (March 19th)...John DeLorean, the man behind that AWESOME gull-winged door car, passed away at the age of 80 in hospital at Summit, NJ from complications as a result of a stroke he suffered previously. Let's keep him and his family in our thoughts and prayers.

my cousin's neighbour down the street used to own one .. what a treat to see it live .. too bad they don't make 'em anymore ..

wonder how much they go on eBay ..

RIP J. DeLorean

Fair nuff. But honestly what does this guy have to do with the Toronto Scene ? I mean, sure the car was popular because of the movie but don't you think this thread belongs in another forum ? Not to make a big deal , but if you post it here don't be surprised if people aren't as senstive that a 80 year old car designer passed away. It happens -- and after 80 years, i'd like to think he's in a better place designing cars that look a hellva lot better then that monstrosity.

sorry, but i have to agree with VERTiG0 -- winged doors or not, that car is just ug-ly !

I'm perfectly relaxed. It just seemed odd that you felt the need to share intimate details regarding the man's coke habit in a thread that announced his passing. Some might call it crass -- but hey, you're right -- it's just the internet.
