Default Back to the future...

I was behind this on the way into work this morning...

Not seen one on the road before.

I did see one a few years ago with a flux capacitor end everything else but that was on a trailer.

You'd be able to stay with him to 88mph but then he'd be gone!

They are around £10K to buy now, so a few of them around. Unfortunately none come with the flux capacitor as standard

And they are going back into very limited production: Back To The Present: DeLorean Going Back Into Production

They were talking about this on Chrid Moyles the other morning. You'd struggle to get one for less than £14k.

I saw two together in Matlock (Derbyshire) in the summer, i took piccies on my phone, one had a reg (underneath the Uk legal one) saying Outatime.
How cool is that?

Got speaking to the drivers and one said that they are not that unreliable and have a Renault 2.8 engine in them, they were members of the Delorean Owners club out for a Sunday drive

My gf couldn't understand what i was fussing aboutoo - i was like a demented fool

if you happen to leave the door(s) open /up.. the light in the door drains the battery in next to no time too rendering the car totally fekt unless you have a boost supply with you that can 'jump' the battery.. awesome cars but i doubt if Id use one as a 'daily'

It is a Volvo sourced engine.

In typical Irish tradition, the engine was sourced via Volvo......but Volvo source their engines from Renualt. So its actually made by Renualt (and co-developed with Peugeot)

So yes, its a Volvo AND a Renault engine

A far better way to spend £200 on your Impreza; than an induction kit and a VTA air bypass valve!

Ah come on that has the ability to time travel as well! Your engine will blow and set you back at least 2 years in earnings!

Seems like a happy customer.

I have a chaved up citroen saxo 1.4i have the following mods, big spoiler on the back, big speakers in the boot these weigh a ton, big wide wheels for more drag, w+nker lights on the bonnets, under sill neons and a really loud exhaust.

Now due to my power to weight ratio, do you think i can get up to 88 mph in burger king car park if i use me hand brake to turn at the ends really fast? to get this to work, If not kev me mate says i can have his K&N that gives me 110 more horse power . Also is it blue tooth compatable? and it won't mess with "ma subs" will it?

I want to go back in time so i can alter the test that said i was the father of baby Britney, that Jermy Kyle did for me. Its not true 'cause i was wasted and it's couldn't have been me.

While i'm back in time i gunna pinch my own burberry cap from myself then i'll have two.

I managed to grab a bottle of diamond white and 8 cans of kestral super strength, from the offie while kev was buyin' some skins, will that be enough to fire it up. Thanks


Cheers
Lee
