Great Scott!

I wonder if that battery will be able to generate the 1.21 gigawatts needed to power it...

Anyone want to "loan" me 90k?

I remember it clearly when the real DeLorean factory closed down here in Belfast.
My Dad could have bought one and always said that he regretted it bitterly.
There was thousands of unsold cars there and a lot of them were auctioned off really cheaply locally.
Ah....hindsight.

Oh. Mah God. NO WAY!!

The only car that I've fantasized about having, other than my beloved Howard(99' Nissan Pathfinder) is the Delorean. I always just thought of it as a fantasy seeing as how they stopped making them so long ago, but now...

There are still a lot of them here in Northern Ireland Wasabi.
I suppose because they were built here more have survived here than have in other parts of the world.
It was a nice dream and who knows if John DeLorean hadn't been a crook they might still be around today....

I was at this last year. It was fantastic! Even got to drive one of them.

I'm just glad they've started manufacturing them again. In my 21 years of life, the only time I've seen a DeLorean is when I was at Universal Studios and they had it out in front of the Back to the Future ride(before they tore it down for the Simpsons ride )

You got to drive one?! Mad jealousy!

Yep. Not that easy to drive. And getting in and out of it was a bit*h for a tall chap like me!

Hahaa, one of the things I like most about it are the vertical doors. I'm not too tall (5'8"), so I never thought about it being an issue.
