Fast and the Furious 9 - The Fast Saga - Trailer
Wednesday, February 19th 2020
The trailer for next chapter in the Fast and the Furious saga has been around for a bit. Sorry we're running late. With it though, an introduction to new and old characters. It looks like we're about to learn more about the expanding Toretto family (spoiler, it's Dom's brother). Someone from the past may be coming back. Very exciting stuff. Will they tie up loose ends? Is this the end? I kinda hope not. I mean it is the 9th or 10th movie (unless you count the Netflix series). Fast and the Furious Forever? Only time will tell. Check it out for yourself below.

Everyone knows and loves the DeLorean in Back to the Future. But people rarely know much about the DeLorean itself. Today I'm not going to go into details. But I wanted to celebrate St. Patrick's day by talking about the DeLorean's Irish roots. Only about 9000 DeLoreans are said to have been built. All of which were built in Northern Ireland. Where?
Dunmurry, Northern Ireland to be exact. Dunmurry is located between Belfast and Dublin (closer to Belfast). The town is known for industry and also residential. It is considered a neighborhood of Belfast. Gotta love 
In October of 1978 DeLorean broke ground to what would become a 6-building complex over 660,000 square feet in area. The factory opened later in 1981 with over 2,500 employees. Of which many were new to the work force. Due to some issues with new workers, quality control was a major issue. There were reports of ill-fitting body panels being the most common. However several training standards were used to help aid these new workers. Included special black "mule" cars without the stainless steal panels (just fiberglass). These cars were used only for training and were never marketed.
Just as the plant workforce was becoming experienced things took a turn for the worst. Costs of producing the new car were exceeding sales and profit was little or none. The company filed for bankruptcy protection in late 1982. This would be the end of the Northern Ireland plant. An end to the DeLorean production. At least until recent light of the company making a come back. More on that later. Till then stay green my friends may luck be with ya!
