Haha....looks like you got me on that one. Anyone try putting a flux capacitor in a stock 2A? Given the 88mph requirement nobody would be able to find out if it worked without some other serious upgrades.....

Must be a lot of fun to own and drive. I was a huge fan of the movies as a kid so in my mind the DMC is about the most instantly recognizable vehicle ever built. Interesting documentary on your blog too. I watched it in its entirety. Too bad a company with such seemingly intelligent and motivated people burned out as quickly as it did.


It is fun to drive around town and see the reaction of other folks --> Lots of pointing, waving, and mobile phone pictures.

That video was made before the company folded and was a really interesting documentary. There were several contributing factors to the failure. It was doomed long before the cocaine scandal. Part of me is glad things worked out the way they did, as now my care is more rare and desirable.

Thanks for the interest and comments!

I've always wanted to see one of these polished to a mirror finish, but it would probably destroy the value of the car.

Go here http://www.pndc.org/gallery/index.php?year=2006 and scroll down to the DCS 2006 photos. There should be 3 or 4 pics of a mirror finished DeLorean. Its the only one I've ever seen.
