It is St Patrick’s Day, so time to share some Irish built cars…which is pretty much the 1960 Shamrock (10 built…8 are still known to exist) or the DeLorean DMC-12…which YOWZA the prices have been batapulted into silly zone…so now we are stuck with the not-so-Irish…but connected to Mr John Z DeLorean, who is a […]
Just what exactly is a DeLorean project anyway…I thought all DeLorea were projects? The DeLorean DMC-12 was a gull-wing equipped sports machine built on a fiberglass monocoque and covered by cosmetic stainless steel panels. The DMC-12 was designed by noted pasta designer Giorgetto Giugiaro and was powered by a mid mounted PRV6…but don’t let that […]
Marty McFly may have driven Doc Brown’s DeLorean into the past (and then back to the future), but if you watched the film carefully, you will remember that he lusted after a Toyota 4X4 pickup, which Biff was nice enough to wax for him in the end. Perhaps if Marty had built the original time […]
A flying DeLorean…sure, I can get behind that. Even a hoverboard, well we sort of have those…but the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series — that is just ridiculous. Today is Oct 21st, 2015, the day to which Marty McFly jumped forward at the end of the original Back To The Future and spent the […]

I can’t think of a more well-known Irish-produced car […]
“Z is for DeLorean? What are you guys high on?” Whatever it is, it isn’t as good as the suitcase full of cocaine that Federal agents allegedly used to entrap John Z. with drug trafficking charges. However, with the power of the PRV V6 behind your back and the promise of open roads ahead, the […]
The DeLorean DMC-12 is certainly the most recognized car to be built in Ireland, closely followed by the 1960’s Shamrock and the 1980s TMC Costin. That isn’t to say that various manufacturers haven’t built cars in 20th largest island in the world, including the first VW Beetle to be assembled outside Germany (in 1950) and […]
The DMC-12 is a futuristic looking sportscar with a fiberglass monocoque covered by cosmetic stainless steel panels from the mind of John DeLorean and the pen of Giorgetto Giugiaro of Ital Design. The DMC-12 was powered by a mid mounted PRV V6,assembled in Northern Ireland and was only available in polish stainless finish. Find this […]
The DeLorean DMC-12 was a gull-wing equipped sportscar with a fiberglass monocoque covered by cosmetic stainless steel panels. The DMC-12 was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Ital Design and was powered by a mid mounted V6, a recipe that sounded great on paper, but once assembled in Northern Ireland and powered by the PRV V6; […]
Tired of being ignored by the FBI? Have a briefcase full of “merchandise” that needs to be quickly converted into cash to save your ailing manufacturing business? Wish you could go back in time to set up your parents in high school, only to have your mom fall for you instead of your dorky dad-to-be? […]
