Flux Capacitor: Build Your Own Time Machine December 7, 2007

We all know time travel is possible because we saw Marty McFly do it in a DeLorean in 1985. So there.
All he needed was a Flux Capacitor housed in a DeLorean car – one that worked, that is – a dose of plutonium liberated from the Libyans and 1.21 jigawatts [I know, but that's how they pronounced it] of electricity. What better way to celebrate than getting your very own, full-sized capacitor from Diamond Select.
Measuring 16in tall and 12 in wide, this is an official, hand numbered Limited Edition of the one used in Back To The Future. Weighing in at 4.5lbs, it has fully adjustable lights and power settings.
It’s expected to ship next May but can be pre-ordered here for around £130. Just install it, buy some plutonium on eBay and get your mother's Fiat Punto up to 88mph and you're off! -Martin Lynch

1.27 jigawatts!? I think you'll find it was 1.21 jigawatts...
That's 1.21 jigawatts, ahem, yeah ..
wasnt it busted, not mcfly?
Tempted. But I need one something to control my destination. You know, that LCD display they had in the film on the dashboard.
yeah thats right, I have already ordered this thing so I can install it in my car :)
Is there actually some place in the UK where you could drive your car up to 88.8 Mph without getting caught on a speed camera?
You might go "Back to the Future" but there would be a mighty hefty fine waiting there for you! ;)
