Back To The Future

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

Love them.

I would like to own one and was reading about the texan deorean company only the other week.

I'm wondering how many others on this forum will also like them, as we already have the styling of the 480 in common.

I want one too!
In fact earlier today I took a look at eBay (and various other sites too) for price estimates and calculated what I had to pay to import one to Norway.
Won't happen this year, but maybe in a couple of years.

Nice car but you wont see me paying 25,000 euro's for one of them.. The build quality was awful and the constantly broke down and bits just fell off...

I like that bttf.com version of the one off the film... lol just think of the look on peoples faces if you rolled up in that lol... :eek:
