[jaxx]

hmmm

prolly the same one? must keep my eyes open and make him an offer when i see it!

[earpl]

lol. bet i beat you too it :P

what the hell are they worth these days, i know there a bag of spanners but there SOOOOOOOOOOO cool.

[jaxx]

yeah when it comes to build quality they are absolute trash...

but thats not important! its a DeLorean!

maaarrrrrrrttttyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

did a quick research, yank ones are roughly 13,000 - 19,000 $$$$'s

which is 7 - 10 grand? hmmm maybe a little more!

[jaxx]

just found a company that restores them 38 - 45k dollars for warrenty aswell, performance upgardes and a CD player! available in 3 months!

or a special one thats 'built to last' how it should have been done

$62,500!

they also provide a breakdown service and everything

each!

no mention of a flux capacitor or Mr Fusion home reactor though?

[earpl]

i can make a flux capacitor from the drawing in the film.

what else do we need?

[jaxx]

some sheet steel and rivets for the vent things on the back, some mesh and wiring for the outsides

ive got an anti gravity generator in the shed, so just need some hydraulics to flip the wheels round

[Karma Supra]

Now THAT is a cool car!!!!!!

I could so see myself in one of those!!!!!

It has to be the ultimate example of a totally rubbish car being deadly cool and desirable as it has so much character!! Let the Delorean be a lesson to all subaru wanna be owners (its slow, has poor handling, is over priced etc etc, and VERY cool. a total opposite ;)):D

It has that magic to it!

[jaxx]

im sure there was a pic of one with an RX7 rotar TT lump fitted on here a bit back - cool mod!

but painted black! - sacrilage! brushed uncoated steel rocks! (sort of)

[Tom.B]

Yup Ive seen it around Rowsley....can I come in on the group buy :P

[jaxx]

right!

hunt the DeLorean, first one to get a pic wins my meter long box of Cadburys Fingers**

**prize not availabe if already scoffed by the time picture is posted

[alanbradley]

Hmmm... Supposedly there's one around Aberdeen, my Dad's met the guy that owns it - his son designs interior grab handles for Mercedes (honest!)...

Watched Back to the Future on Saturday night - fantastic

Alan

[Tom.B]

Lol im off work tomorrow ...gonna set a webcam up at the pub..dont care if they think im weird a yard of choccy is worth the tag..... :D

[Demonic Angel]

aww em thats mean....

Well i started watching it too late and im really in the mood for this film :(

My brother owns well over 2000 films and hes not got back to the future??

HOW???

How is it mean to not have favourite guys on TOC?

Anyway, my favourite TOC guy would have a DeLorean - they are COOOOL!

[scionic]

It desperately needs an engine transplant.

It came with a crap Renault V6 known for grinding itself to dust and good for about 130 bhp. Stainless steel isn't light. A DeLorean would be lucky to keep up with a 1.3 Yaris.

Some sports car...

I'm not impressed. They were cool in the 1980's, at least in outward appearance, but as was said, quality was crap, performance was crap, interior was crap and now they look quite dated on top of it.

The only reason they are anything like a "classic" is because of their rarity and because of the films and the propensity of some stupid rich people to buy worthless junk.

There are SO many cars much more worthy of waxing nostalgic over.

[JappyBeast]

got the box set.. watched it about 30 times... damn love those films

get fed up with the doc shouting "great scott" though

←

Have it also,

"weight has nothing to do with it"

Grew up with the BTTF films, hate the ending on the third film tho, a bit 'willy wonka' for my liking.

[JappyBeast]

Oh and I made this for a VW owner...lol,

Last year there was a Flux Capacitor working prop forsale on eBay, wanted it for my MR2!

"88 MILES PER HOUR!!!"

"What the hell's a gigawatt?"

[earpl]

NOOOOOO NOT A GIGAWATT!! ITS NOT POSSIBLE.

right the delorean chalange rules are, the pic of the car has to have your finger in the bottom left corner! no nicking pics of the net and no photoshoping!

[jaxx]

and heres the prize!*

its as tall as my MD player, CD player, tuner, amp, DVD, VCR and a bit of the telly all put together!

*may not actaully exist

[Red Yaris 54]

Thats very generous of you......to give away a Television, Video, DVD player etc ;) ;)

[jaxx]

rather give them away than the choccy!

[Moffmo]

!Removed! hell thats massive, keep it in the car in case you are ever stranded!!
