DeLorian cool or not???
I remember a few months back a delorian post as someone had the chance to buy 2 and wanted to know if they were worth the money.
i think the general opinion was 50/50 (classic ledgend/pile of shite)
ive always liked them, as they are a bit different
but this has just made my go all hot n bothered, if i had the money and space id be very tempted, in my opinion it looks the nuts.
and it just goes to show the no.1 car modding rule.
Lower it and put some nice wheels of keep the standard ones if they are good, and thats all u pretty much need.....................................
i love this..
not too sure on the geeky no plate tho

you should get them free as they were entirely funded by the uk tax payer so theoretically you have already paid for them

Would love one, tuned by Dr E. Brown though.
That one looks shit slammed like that. Never understood this fascination with having a car so low it scrapes the cats eyes.

That one looks gash, it looks like the suspension has collapsed, but they are cool cars.
Fucking slow from what ive heard, but cool anyway, how can it not be cool to anyone of our generation after the back to the future film
(that obviously excludes old cunts like tony, lol)

They are cool imo but just don't order any Flux Capacitors from Simon, you'll have to travel into the future about 10 years to get them

yes its on air
obviously to drive it ud raise it to a reasonable level.
Being a VW man at heart, slow and low has always been my weakness.
i guess a lot of people on here being ford people are always on about power and handeling. something this beast blantently hasnt got.
i think they were so slow that the bttf film crews actually put the porsche engine in them for the filming.
anyway i think the car is cool, buy no way is it pretty, but its different and i like that!

I love them, ultimate early 80s cool
Standard body, slammed, Renault 24v twin turbo doing 400+ BHP would be perfect......
(that's on my long term 'to do list' as well!
)
That one at the top is a bit OTT, not keen on all the colour coding and body mods.
