4 Deloreans driving in front of me in a convoy,
and not one of them was doing 88mph

I read that as 'Dom Deluise'

( Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 15:28, archived)

That's actually a joke by the producers of the film.
The idea is that faster than light travel is "impossible" and the top speed of a DeLorean was 85, so to go 88 miles per hour was "impossible".

/bored blog, and I've still never watched those films all the way through, they're shit.

Are you sure it wasnt just 88mph
so that it lit up all 7 segs of the LED 7 seg display ?

Wikipedia is my source.
Implicit in all time travel is the ability to exceed the speed of light, c. 88mph (142 km/h) is a trifling fraction of this value, though of course the Flux Capacitor plays a significant part in this achievement. However, 88mph is not a spurious figure - it is in fact a subtle joke on the part of the movie making team. The DMC-12's speedometer is calibrated to a speed of 85 mph, thus rendering the speed of 88mph, impossible. This is supported by the view of the instrument panel viewers have when Marty first breaks the 'time barrier' at the opening of the first film.

It had a GM speedo that only went to 85, yep
well, the very early ones did. But that's irrelevant as the car was significantly faster than that. If it's a joke, it's a fucking rubbish one. I suggest that wikipedia has been merked, there.

my bike's speedo goes up to 120.
That's fucking hopeful.
( spangolin - the odds are good but the goods are odd, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 15:55, archived)

That's what's commonly known as "urban bullshit"
but I'm surprised you've fallen for it.

Top speed of a standard European DeLorean was 130. Even the emissions-reg US one with the detuned engine would do about 110.

I dont know, probably something racist.

( spangolin - the odds are good but the goods are odd, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 15:36, archived)

My eyes started working again.
Nah, he was one of those 'Hmm, do I fancy him?' and then it turned out I didn't. In fairness though, my list includes Guy Garvey, Gene Hunt and Sebastien Chabal, so he's not really going to be my type.
( Blue Star was working part time at the 5 and Dime, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 15:39, archived)

you could wake up next to him and borrow a pair of his shoes though
maybe a fancy shirt.

Remember who you're talking to?
I can't wear shirts because they don't do up over my norks. And as for borrowing his shoes?

Nothing ridiculously odd really.

I see something odd everyday.
2 weeks ago I saw two trannies having a 'fight' and one of them ripped off the other guys wig and jumped up and down on it and the other guy picked it up and put it back on.

Also walking along the street in Amsterdam where I saw 10 Delboys. I then realised I was dressed as the 11th Delboy.
I was so stoned. Facebook pics back this up.
