    The DeLorean: Northern Ireland’s Supercar

    Never mind it could only do 0-60mph in 10 seconds and its creator was caught in an FBI drugs sting operation. The DeLorean – Doc’s DeLorean in Back to the Future - was built in Northern Ireland!  Shane tells Hazel the story behind one of the worst and yet most iconic sports cars ever built and how on earth the eccentric John DeLorean was persuaded to manufacture it in 1970s Belfast.

    Australia’s Robin Hood
