Great SCOT!

Look what just appeared in my driveway! The owner knocked on my door wondering if he could borrow 1.12 gigawatts with which to return to 1985.

All I was able to offer was the use of my DeFlorian. He declined. He didn't want to go to 1969. Sheesh, some people are so picky.

Nah if it was for St Patrick's Day, I would have had to have used it to go back to the 17th and have it arrive then.

Not mine but a mate's car; he's had it on the road about 3 weeks and he's already clocked up 1000 miles.

Super-cool car.... although was covered in hand prints because everyone touches it! And they recommend you clean it with either petrol or thinners.... !!!!

Cheers,

Dave

I don't know if this is the same car Davo, but it spent about 18 years in a museum, so maybe it is!

It is amazing a movie can make a car sooooooo famous!!!

I love 'em too.

I have had the privilege of sitting in one too. They are a very very strange little beast.

My wife worked with someone that had one, it spent more time in the workshop getting fixed than out on the road It was a shame because they look so good. He ended up selling it

Choice!
Just one of those legend status vehicles we hope to one day get to sit in. 8-)

Take the Magna from the last pic & it may well have gone back in time!

Thanks for showing - get him into the 2013 Bay to Birdwood!

Cheers, Matt.
