Mr. Sandman: DeLorean Time Machine
Just when I thought I'd posted my contributions to "Back to the future" day, along came something totally unpredictable. Out for a walk, I happened to run into this machine last night. And there I was staring at a perfect replica of Doc Brown's time machine on October 21, 2015. What are the chances?
You can buy or rent DeLorean time machine replicas from the new DeLorean Motor Company (based in Texas), but this one isn't one of those - it was built by a customizer in California. You can rent this one - but only for parties and appearances. Excursions to 1985 are sadly unavailable at this time. The car's owner does, however, dress up like Emmett Brown for exhibitions.
Underneath it's a stock 1981 DeLorean DMC-12, but externally (and inside the cabin) it an almost exact replica of the DeLorean time machine as it appeared in "Back to the future, Part II" - which I watched again after seeing this car yesterday.
Aside from the DeLorean, I always liked the flying Citroën DS taxi that features prominently in that film (notably, a wrecked DS also appears in the alternate depiction of 1985 in that film).
