How the DeLorean Nearly Saved a Nation | Ireland in an MX-5 - Episode 1

[@Myosos]

The production value of your videos is always through the roof, it's a mystery to me that you don't get more views..

[@AveragetoPoor]

Thanks, Myosos. I'm really happy you appreciate the production value of the videos, it's always nice to hear! As long as those who see the videos enjoy them, I'm happy. Although with that being said it would be great to be able to share them to a wider audience, so if you know of anyone who may enjoy my videos please do send them my way!

[@80s_k1d4]

totally agree

[@karlhurn]

Great video Graham. I’m from Leicester, had a Eunos Roadster in my 20’s, love Delorean’s and enjoy making videos about cars with my brother! Small world 😂

[@RichardFanders]

Been looking forward to this series.

[@AveragetoPoor]

Thanks, Richard. I hope you enjoyed the video. Regarding the VX220, unfortunately you are quite correct. It was involved in a fairly severe incident a while back. After the lockdown ends my brother and I are going to make a short video to explain the fate of the car.

[@RichardFanders]

@@AveragetoPoor That's a real shame, it will surely get fixed up though. Great videos, I can see they take a lot of planning to make them.

[@ronniemeyhoff8306]

This video is simple awesome! One of the best delorean video on KZbin👍

[@AveragetoPoor]

Thank-you, Ronnie. I'm super pleased to hear you enjoyed the video so much!

[@kristabaskerville5103]

WOW!! Extremely well done and very professional. Deserves a million views in my humble opinion.

[@bispal]

Absolutely loving your videos. Top notch and so well.done. Cheers

[@AveragetoPoor]

Thanks! I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos. I just watched your Porsche 981 Boxster Spyder video, what an amazing day it must've been to drive that through the Dolomites!

[@bispal]

@@AveragetoPoor Just discovered your videos and going through them, really well done, you should have at least a million subscribers ;-) I have an NA MX5 as well, great cars. I'm going to try and make a few films of my cars, wont be as good as yours though! Keep up the good work.

[@AveragetoPoor]

Thank-you, that's kind of you to say. The MX-5 NA is such a fantastic car, and please do make some more videos of your cars, I'll definitely be watching!

[@aZeddPrattFilm]

Got cruise control? 😂 Nah but you guys make incredible content. It’s soooo fucking good. Probably my new fav channel. The folk tale could have been shortened but other than that, perfection of editing, style, narrating, footage, etc!

[@AveragetoPoor]

Haha damn I wish! Thank-you so much for your kind words, I'm so happy you like the content. And thank-you for the feedback on the folk tale at the end, it's always useful to know how individual items in the videos are received, I'll definitely take it into account for the next travel series.

[@Ergoziser]

absolutely premium quality content, thanks for your efforr man!

[@tonidmc]

Excellent work there! Two thumbs up for the DeLorean review. This must be the first DeLorean story I’ve seen or read that refrains from using the "c-word"... the one that Eric Clapton wrote a song about! 😜 Greetings to all DeLorean owners out there! VIN #16359

[@AveragetoPoor]

Thanks! I'm really pleased you enjoyed the DeLorean story. Fortunately I managed to refrain from mentioning a certain white powder throughout the episode haha! I felt really that the scandal angle of the DeLorean story has been so widely and well covered I wanted to talk about how the car affected the lives of the local Northern Irish 'regular folk' instead, as they are so often overlooked for the glitz, glamour and drama of John Delorean's lifestyle and demise. One thing I should've mentioned at the end of the story is how, in my opinion, the DeLorean is perhaps one of the best 'feel good cars' ever made. When you're around one you just can't help but be excited and elated to see it, an effect it seems to have on everyone from young children to older generations. When it was parked up folks couldn't help but stop and enjoy its presence. Congratulations on owning such a special car!

[@DRobinson345]

Great video, I’ve been looking forward to watching this series after watching the Scotland tour series. My friends and I did a the Scotland NC500 tour last September, next year we’re planning to go back but will be interested to see what Ireland’s roads look like instead!

[@AveragetoPoor]

Thanks, Dane! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Episode 2 and 3 showcase more of Ireland's driving roads, and in episode 3 we find what is perhaps the best driving road we've ever experienced. Hopefully the series will help give you a good comparison to the brilliant NC500.

[@DRobinson345]

Graham Borrajo Great stuff, I look forward to it! My mates have got faster cars than I have (Honda S2000, Caterham 7, EP3 Civic Type R) so I’ll be trying to keep up in my TF 160 😂. Although I am looking to get a Lotus Elise S1 or early S2 at some point next year! Providing I still have a job with the current climate...

[@AveragetoPoor]

That is quite a variety of cars haha! Hopefully it'll just mean you get to enjoy driving your TF on the limit more than they can with their cars. All the best with getting yourself an Elise next year, I must say I think the Lotus Elise may be the ultimate car for the NC500, the VX220 was just so engaging on those twisty roads.

[@LTMCMedia]

My favorite part of owning a Miata is that just about everyone seems to have one or have had one so everyone gets it. It’s the magic of that car.

[@Chris391971]

Enjoying these videos. Subscribed!

[@tristan8243]

ahhhh it would break my heart leaving my NA on a ferry covered in salt water :(

[@AveragetoPoor]

It was quite a shock when we boarded the ferry and realised our lovely clean car was going to be left exposed to the elements over night! The one advantage of the torrential rain we were later met with was that it washed off all the salt.

[@AMPHICARSdotCOM]

Brilliant !

[@AveragetoPoor]

Thanks, David!

[@RichardFanders]

Did your Yellow vx220 have a prang? There was one on the Facebook group with some damage.

[@shockjockey5274]

There we go! The good stuff is here!

[@shockjockey5274]

It's such an unfortunate turn of events that happened to DMC. And the situation that happened after the close down with DeLorean himself is just heartbreaking.

[@AveragetoPoor]

Thanks, ShockJockey! I hope you enjoyed the episode after such a long wait. It was a really heartbreaking story for those involved at every level at DMC.

[@Taurencowpew]

It wasn't until I visited the Giant's Causeway that I realised it was the same geological structures as the Organ Pipes near Melbourne. Both are beautiful spots, but the Organ Pipes have far less visitors. Last time I was there (in my BRG NA6), I had the place virtually to myself.

[@ronniemeyhoff8306]

Very well made video. So nice to see the DeLorean car and story getting some attention. I own a 5 speed manual delorean and it just runs so much better than the automatic one and is actually a lot faster. Have tried both manual and automatic and manual is the only right way if you want a DeLorean. With 130hp and only 3 gear, it dies, but with 5 speed manuel, its stil not fast but i will not say it slow for a 80 car.

[@AveragetoPoor]

Thanks, Ronnie. I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. I can absolutely imagine a manual gearbox must be a huge step up over the early 80s automatic transmission. It must make the car a whole lot more engaging and enjoyable as a driving machine. I expect with a longer final gear it also improves the DeLorean's credentials as a GT car too.

[@ApocTheLegend]

this channel is gonna be big one day

[@AveragetoPoor]

That's kind of you to say, thanks for watching!

[@InfamousCuba]

Awesome.

[@AveragetoPoor]

Thanks!

[@MexX4200]

That’s a very nice car you have.

[@AveragetoPoor]

Thanks, Mexx. And thanks for watching too!

[@HolgerKuhrts]

This is a beautiful car got the same as an NB.

[@surfmb70]

Wow excellent video! I can tell you put a lot of effort into this one. I’m guessing you’ve seen Driven? I was disappointed that they glossed over the actual production of the vehicle.

[@AveragetoPoor]

Thank-you, Captain! You're quite right it was a lot of effort so I'm really pleased you like the video! I actually haven't seen Driven, but I'll check it out at some point for sure.

[@keneisner7363]

Well this video devolved into a Delorean bashing 😂😂😂.

[@roadsterinusa]

Great contents, may be if you further break down the video, it might help attract more viewers. 50 min video might be overwhelming for some viewers.

[@AveragetoPoor]

That's a very good suggestion! Thanks for watching and for the feedback!

[@EmmettLBrown2015]

My whole life I have wanted a DeLorean but I can never afford it so I settled for a 2020 Miata RF GT

[@ocallaghan3865]

One day subaru vivio like vehicles could be made from ireland for ireland along with other countrys where people struggle for cars

[@georgebarnes8163]

Not in Ireland, the Irish only drive budget cars due to the massive road tax and insurance costs in Ireland.
