Neat cars for sure. For the kids on here, youll have to "go back" and watch Back to the Future to see this baby in action.

I've seen one (probably a replica) driving around Nanaimo, BC on occasion. Pretty cool looking car.

There was a guy around here that bought 2 of them in the late 90's early 2000's when they were relatively cheap. I recall one being driveable the other needed work. I think he sat on them until they appreciated enough to sell them.

From what I've understood they're really not very good cars. I remember when they were on the Forza Motorsport series, maybe 4th one and it despite upgrading it fully, it just wouldn't stand a chance against other equal level cars in online races with my mates. :laugh: Plus the scene in the latest season of Orange Is The New Black where Luschek has bought himself one and it breaks down and refuses to start. :laugh:

Yeah, they weren't very fast/capable of high speed; my uncle had one back in the day.. but the butterfly doors were cool. And I assume they'll always have McFly' nostalgic value..

To be fair if you'd buy a 1983 Lamborghini you'd probably be having the same experience.
