You don't have to go too far back into history to find this controversial machine, spawned from a great idea, but resulted in the destruction of the car industry in Northern Ireland and the near imprisonment of the company's founder John DeLorean.
John DeLorean (1925 - 2005) was a very talented car designer at the General Motors Corporation, designing many classics such as the Pontiac GTO and the Chevy Vega.Unsatisfied with his maverick way of business he was eventually let go from GMC in 1973, despite being the Vice-President.
But this was not the end of his story as he chose instead to create an ethical utopian sports car that wasn't built with the planned obsolescence that the big Detroit businesses were building their cars. With that, he formed the DeLorean Motor Company, affectionately dubbed DMC.
Originally his plan was to open a factory in Puerto Rico, but eventually settled in Northern Ireland after £100 million was offered by the Northern Ireland Development Agency, who also made a deal that it would be funded by the British Government at a rate of which every £100 paid into the company by the taxpayer, DeLorean only had to repay £1. In 16 months a 660,000 ft² factory had been built in the Dunmurry suburb of Belfast.
At the same time he began to design the company's first (and what would turn out to be only) product the DMC-12. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, the car was meant to look like a machine that was not of this world, or had accidentally be sent back in time by some fuddy duddy in the future (I'll get round to that later). With Gullwing doors, a stainless steel body and top of the range safety features including airbags and a crash-resistant plastic understructure.
However, beneath the futuristic body the car was very primitive. DeLorean had signed a deal with Lotus to help him develop the car, but this would ultimately result in the car being more a Lotus Esprit with a different body.
The promised rigidity of the car during crashes using ERM (Elastic Reservoir Moulding) was replaced by a conventional chassis and resin. Eventually even Airbags weren't included in the final model.
In a panic to get the cars into production in 2 years rather than the recommended 5, hastily put together durability tests were carried out by driving the cars round and round a racetrack constantly until bits fell off.
The built quality too was very much shambolic to say the least. The iconic Gullwing doors were given struts that were too weak and therefore never worked properly, resulting in them not fully opening.
The engine was not sterling and new, but instead was an age old 2.6L Renault V6 from a Renault 30, producing only a measly 130bhp resulting in the car being heavily underpowered.
The suspension had to be modified with springs, the driving experience was claustrophobic and dark, the alternator was too weak for the electronics and thus went flat in no time, often with the result of locking the occupants inside due to the electric central locking system, the stainless steel body was easily stained even by fingerprints, it had panel gaps that you could drive a bus through, the car handled like soap and was supposed to cost $12,000 but ended up entering sales at £26,000, which made it impossible to compete with similar Porsche's and Merc's of that price range which were also much, much better.
But either way the car went on sale in 1981 to a huge fan-fare, with the car outselling Porsche and having deposits backing up at showrooms across America.
However, the honeymoon soon wore off and by 1982 only 4,500 of the proposed 10,000 cars per year were sold. In fact eventually only 8,000 cars would be built, meaning DeLorean had failed to reach this target on both accounts.
But DeLorean continued to be ambitious and floated the company on the stock market, upping production at the factory to make things look busy and putting raw recruits straight onto the shop floor. The result was that Belfast's workforce were churning out thousands of cars no one wanted and thus were losing a fortune.
Eventually he turned to the British Government for some extra money, but the new government under Mrs. Thatcher was no longer willing to give subsidies following their confrontations with British Leyland.
The end came when DeLorean was arrested by the FBI for brokering Cocaine deals to help fund the company. Although acquitted on the grounds of entrapment, the company went bust in 1983 and the 2,600 Belfast workers, who despite working to the very end to keep on making cars, were turned away, with the remaining cars and equipment being auctioned off for what little money they could salvage.
Of the £800 million put into the company by the American and British governments, the resulting accounting recalculations found that only about £100,000 of that could be reclaimed, with another $17 million disappearing without trace.
But the DMC-12 went on to find a celebrity future as its space-age looks made it the perfect Time-Machine for the fantastic Back to the Future trilogy. This one here has been set up as such, and yes, it even has a Flux Capacitor!
But that is very much the thing that made the DMC-12 win in the end, the fact that even today seeing one parked on the street, people cannot help but stop and stare in fascination. Although not everyone knows about the trouble that surrounded this car's short construction life, it is what most people recognize it by, a pure mixture of style and scandal, a car with a criminal past...
My latest acquisition (the Minolta, not the meter) and seems to be working well, shooting a first roll right now.
Anybody who knows the exact version of it? Seems a bit rareish with the Citizen MXV 1/400 and no meter.

This is my Nikon F Photomic FTn - one of the open issues on my "to-do-list" (started by removing the leathering).
The FTn-finder was intruduced in 1968 and built till 1974. It was the last metered prism for the F and offered a sensitivity from 6 to 6400 ASA.
This F was used a lot and has many signs of usage. Its long shutter-speeds don´t work accurately and therefore it needs some service - but its still a really nice camera. - And a big and heavy one too :-) .
a two-dimensional chaotic system, showing leakage from a trap or snag. This is a two dimensional version of the adjacent "dollar trap" which demonstrates that as the dimensionality of the system is increased, it is possible to make "exceptional events" having lower and lower probability and frequency of occurrence.
A SNAG is a region in the chaotic trajectory which "catches" the motion as it goes past and holds it up for a while. In this picture the chaotic motion visits nearly all the places in the area of the picture, but it is "snagged" on the lighter structure that you can see here, and has a tail or "leak" where it returns to the wider domain. Many real-world natural systems exhibit this kind of snagging, in which the motion is not for ever confined to a small region or "trap".
My Realistic SA-700 integrated amp (rated 70w peak power both channels driven). Also, two Realistic TM-7 FM stereo tuners. This amplifier drives two Radio Shack MC-1000 speakers seen in another photo. These items are early 1970's items from Radio Shack.
The keyboard at which I spent most of my weekend working. No - that's not a bad thing, I was certainly "in the zone" and really enjoyed what I was doing, and achieved a lot.
Pour poursuivre la série sur mes appareils photo, je me suis appliqué à prendre mon ptit nouveau aujourd'hui. Pour ce faire, j'ai utilisé mon Hasselblad 500CM avec la Zeiss Planar 80mm f/2.8 et un tube allonge. Pour compléter, un éclairage dans le style "chiaroscuro".
To continue the series on my cameras, I take the picture of my little again today. To do this, I used my Hasselblad 500CM with the 80mm f/2.8 Zeiss Planar and extension tube. To complete, a lighting in "chiaroscuro" style.

The new jewel of my camera collection, made in only 1500 copies.
The camera seems to have been heavily used, with the leather changed to black on the front and top right side. It's also loosened around the focusing screen. Also, I don't have the original waistlevel finder.
Otherwise the camera should be fully operational, with working NiCad-batteries and all. I like the fact that it's not in pristine condition, because I won't be too afraid to use it!
Edit: I'm now using it with a home-made battery adapter (9-volt battery in a film can, not my idea) and it works great, with exception of a bit faster battery drainage than would be normal.

here are commercial modules with minor voltages of 24V or 48V. The features of the Solar Panel are same as those of the cells, only scaled up in voltage and/or current based on the amount of Solar cells used and their connection.
They should ideally face the true south if you are in the northern hemisphere for best use, and true north if you in the southern hemisphere. The tilt should be near to your latitude.
The cost of Solar cells reduces with increase in efficiency. Now Solar Energy is already being used as either a primary power source or as a backup power source.
