In celebration of the forthcoming screening of that classic time travel adventure “Back to the Future” on July 18th at 2 p.m., Strabane’s Alley Theatre, supported by Harte and McGarrigle Estate Agents, took delivery of a iconic DeLorean sports car for the day.
It was a busy Thurday and the owner of this mint condition car travelled down to Strabane from Lisburn, not knowing he had a press pack waiting to interview him (and his father who built the machine!). The DeLorean was in top condition, 6500 miles on the clock, original tyres and a body work to die for!
The photo shoot had been annouced in some of the major papers, including the Derry Journal, so we have some real DeLorean fans travelling miles to see the car, with some even jumping into the drivers seat to recreate that "Marty McFly" magic!
Pictured with the DeLorean was Sophie from Electric Candy Boutique, one of the new fashion retailers based in Castle Street, Strabane, just 2 mins walk from the Alley Theatre. She was a great model and didn't seem to mind the crowd gathering to watch the event.
If I could do it all over again would I change anything about the shoot? Not a thing!
We had Radio Foyle, the Strabane Chronicle, Strabane Weekly and the Derry Journal all down for interviews and pics, so the coverage next week will be fantastic. If Carlsberg did photo shoots - this would be a pretty damn close thing!
