Sarnie Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Replica's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted June 5, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted June 5, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanski Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share 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!

GC350z Posted June 5, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanski Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share 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!
