I am pretty sure in the movie it was "jiggawatts" a made up term to refer to a very large number of watts.
Got a tip for us?

Yeah, I was wondering how that would affect the doors as well. I guess I found it more interesting/unique than likable...
I was driving in a backwater little town back in 1990 and saw one in a guys front yard with a for sale sign on it. I stopped just to look and noticed that all they wanted was $3000. Even in 90 before they became collectors items this price was a steal. I had to drop about another $600 in tires and engine work but that was it. I drove that car for almost 5 years and did not have one single issue with it. I would probably still have it today but a friend of a friend gave me $13,000 reasons to get rid of it.

I was in Kuwait in 1983. A De Lorean was imported. Lasted a couple of weeks before the driver lost it at speed on a long off-camber bend that had a covering of fine sand and dust. He hit a concrete bus shelter. The car broke into a very large number of very small pieces. The driver stayed with the car. Every bit of it.

I know that but it sounds like Mardee like it sounds like Jigga watts!
Keep walking past the car in question about four times a day at the moment. I've either gotta get a new route or just find the money to make an offer (think getting a new route would be the easier and wiser choice).
Whyren - that BttF version is quality.
My neighbour had one. Sadly, it couldn't even GET to 88 mph, so they said it couldn't go back in time like we would have hoped.

I had the brief pleasure of having one of these pass me on the road here one day. It was a quick look, but I knew what it was instantly. Nice find!
One of my crazy dreams one day is if I get a lot of money is to buy one of those cars and make it look exactly like the one that you see in 'Back to the Future Part II' That would be so awesome!!

What, make it fly? Not sure you'll have much luck there padre. I've tried sourcing a 'Mr Fusion' too which was also a BttF II modification but no joy so far.

Yes...gigawatts are a real unit of measurement, jigowatts in that movie.
And Jigga, what? If you're Jay-Z.
Darn...oh well *scraps blueprints*AlBDamned said:What, make it fly? Not sure you'll have much luck there padre. I've tried sourcing a 'Mr Fusion' too which was also a BttF II modification but no joy so far.

You could be anywhere in the world, but you're here with me. I appreciate that. Hove!
I work at a luxury/exotic car dealership and we once took a trade in of a DeLorean. We had it for a year or two before someone bought it. I would still drive that thing, especially if it had all that crap from the movie on it.
