Not an obscure drummer, but an innovator of car design, John DeLorean died today. Those Back to the Future Cars if you are unsure about what a DeLorean car is, also had stainless steel bodywork.
Seem to remember his FBI sting cocaine sellings to try and fund his project got more press than his gull winged cars.

Stunning looking car for it's day, shame it had such a low top speed.
Would have been a miracle to see one go beyond the 88mph in Back to the Future!
I liked the guys style.

Good riddance, this thieving American conned the government out of millions of tax payers money and fucked up the Ulster economy.

I recollect that the auditors either did a cover-up or a very shoddy job. Thatcher instructed they never got any more government business but surprise, surprise, Dear Tony brought them back into the fold.
