Recreating an 80's icon for the 21st Century
« on: July 03, 2014, 08:43:58 AM »
A while back Wiley did a reimagined Delorean and this has got me thinking. I'm a biker as well as a Sci-fi nerd so this subject combines both of my passions.

Whew, I read that thread title and thought you were going to do a new Delorean too!  I really need to work on my DMC-15.
