You know... I actually looked into buying a delorean and those things are freaking expensive... for an 80's car anyway.

You can drive it in Gran Turismo and it's crap, basically. You'd be better off with a Golf GTI, which is another car in Gran Turismo :olo:

DeLoreans are actually not that expensive over here, well a second hand one obviously.
I was offered one a few years back for about 5K.. part of me still regrets not taking it.

also, bless Nike for actually releasing the self-lacing shoe this year.

a neat twist for Back to the Future 4 would be a future in which the ability to do something that most people have forgotten how to, like reading a clock dial or tying their own shoelaces, becomes a key plot point

An old workmate of mine bought one and turned it into time machine variant :smirk:

Quick funny story: He got pulled over by the Police and not for as you'd think, to have a look at the car, He was driving on the public road and forgot to take the replacement 'barcode' off that covers the registered number plates when it is 'on show' :olo:

Cheapest I could find was 30k. Unless I'm mistaken they were built in north America so how in the fuck would they be cheaper across the pond?

Saw a rather good TV show the other day on the DeLorean called For the Love of Cars. A show where they find old classics and restore them to concours d'elegance condition. Get a chance, watch it :up:

Wait, here you go. Just a clip...


Wiki – For the Love of Cars

Here is a picture of the Police mentioned above.
