• Question: Have you seen back to the future, I love the delorium in that movie. Have you ever considered buying one and actually creating a time machine? Or maybe the TARDIS from Doctor Who?

      The DeLorean was reissed not so long ago, but unfortunately the makers chose not to include a functioning flux capacitor, which I’m sure you can remember Doc Brown saying is ‘the part that makes time travel possible’.

      I wasn’t blessed with a mind for physics, and am ashamed to say it took me AGES to even learn to tell the time on an analogue clock, so I think Time Travel might have to be left for someone with a different kind of brain to me.
      If i had all the money in the world though, I’d TOTALLY buy a DeLorean Right after my skycar.

      That’s right. A CAR THAT FLIES.

      I once built a helicopter from some old motors, turned it on and hit the switch. It absolutely destroyed my mom kitchen, I think it could have killed me actually. In the end after wrecking a table and two leather chairs it buried it’s self in the granite floor. My parents remind me of this every time I see them. Can you imagine the damage I could do with a car or a time machine.

      I love that movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although I never thought of getting delorean! It is a super good car … http://delorean.com/ … but it doesn’t actually travel though time, or course! In the movie they use a flux capacitor… but in real life you would probably need something like a black hole or a space time warp!

      I have seen it, but I can’t say I ever have thought about buying one. I can only just manage with flat pack furniture, I’m not sure I’d be up to creating a time machine
