Sometimes I call the local auto parts stores and ask if they have a flux capacitor for an 1985 Delorean.  ;D

Is it really 88 mph even if its a smaller scale.  If its a 1/8 scale, then I would think it only takes 11 mph? :P

We all know that's not how the flux capacitor works.

I once put instant coffee in the microwave and thought I went back in time

They have already started in Norfolk, or at least repairing them that way. The county council has put up notices on one main road saying "lower standard route ahead" instead of repairing the road surface. Signs are cheaper than tarmac.

I think 88 miles is still 88 miles no matter how small you are :p

I modified it, you can't see the little wire that goes into the flux capacitor because I took the picture at the wrong angle

dam straight! I did a video of a PCB I finally got back from iTead being soldered up and my camera decided to be a dick and back itself up halfway through the 40 minute procedure so the audio is out of sync so either I ditch the video or do a time lapse or something, putting the hook on the delorean was a product of the frustration I was encountering with stupid video devices.
"video" really is a dismal science
