stanski Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Weird actually seeing 2 in the flesh so to speak - actually quite fugly Marteeee theres 21.1GigaWatts in there - nope I think not! Panel fit as good as a Nissan! Quote
Chris`I Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 They are pretty terrible cars. I had a ride in one when I was a lot younger (around 10yrs old maybe) and it was awesome being in the Back to the Future car! Now they just look pants Quote
stanski Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 not sure if they are replicas - the wagon had Northern Ireland Plates on. Althrough they have started remanufacturing them in the Satates hav'nt they - why I have no idea - at least they wont rust - quick rub down with a dishcloth Quote
Digsy Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 There's an article in this months Top Gear about someone in the US who has all the old parts and is building some new ones and upgrading old ones so they go and handle - the old ones didn't. Apparently, you can even get it fitted with a supercharger! Quote
stanski Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 Bits of old Cortina and Metro wer'nt they? Quote
rickya Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Ugly as Fkuc, theres one in South Harrow for years that I pass, its pretty bland & boring Quote
stanski Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 Ugly as Fkuc, theres one in South Harrow for years that I pass, its pretty bland & boring In the 80's when it was Back to the future time we all loved them but since seeing them up close yesterday - I am not too impressed? The Flux capacitor was missing obviously ....... It looked out of proportion time has moved on and the design has aged I suppose - I'd rather the 007 Lotus from the late 70's! Quote
GC350z Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Nasty car. Saw one a few months ago. Was going so slow in a 100kph zone that I though it was going to die. Fascinating story behind them. Worth look up on wiki if its there. Quote
Lexx Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Didnt one do or attempt to do, one of the Cannonball-esque runs last year? London to somewhere or other in Europe. Twas on TV Quote
stanski Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 Well whatever we think of them they still stand out and grab attention - I mean I was taking pics of them for a start - but I love the Back to the Future films so thats my 80's legacy! Quote
nixy Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I'm such a big back to the future fan that I love the car - I'd be more excited seeing a crappy delorean than a super car! Quote
stanski Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 I'm such a big back to the future fan that I love the car - I'd be more excited seeing a crappy delorean than a super car! I've got the full box DVD set Harmless fun before we all got too serious about life!! Quote

Will have to scan the pic to post up, seem to remember the paint was flaking off... Top stuff yeah that would be good - well it will flake even with etch primer - thats why its stainless steel eh?
