BTTF replica driving through North Dakota?

[82DMC12]

Hey all,
Just received word that on May 1 a friend on mine observed a BTTF delorean headed east on I94. I don't know of any replicas around here. Anyone know who might have been traveling through Fargo towards Minneapolis?

Thats probably Mark Shields. He lives in the Minneapolis area. He rents his time machine to events. http://timemachinerental.com/

The website states he has had his car in Las Vegas since last October until May 1st this year. Sounds like he's meandering his way back home.

Not sure how into the "DeLorean" crowd he is though. He's never come to any of the Minnesota events I've been to and I've never met him.

You are probably right! Nice.

I met Mark at Cars & Coffee once, very nice guy, just isn't that active at events. As far as I know he has the only time machine in MN.

Mark also has a few other movie cars such as the 1989 Batmobile, a Transformers Bumble Bee, and the screen used Uncle Rico's van from Napoleon Dynamite.

That was Terry and I headed home on May 1st. That was State #48. We did South Dakota on the way West. Really enjoyed the drive.

You two really get around!

My sister said "hi" to you on my behalf at Ottawa Comicon this past weekend. I just couldn't get away from work.

Cool, Oliver! Awesome how tight a group we are where someone can't drive without being identified!

[Chris Burns]

Oliver and Terry have the most well used Delorean around! Love it!!

I'm still a bit bummed out that you guys already had an existing commitment to prevent you from coming down to Miami for Florida Supercon at the end of June/first of July this summer. We're currently in the final stages of working on bringing in some of the actors from Doctor Who and the opportunity to recreate a live version in the event hall of the famous "Delorean Hits TARDIS" T-shirt artwork would have been simply awesome! We may still do it, minus the time circuits of course, with my "plain vanilla" car, LOL...

I see that they were recently in Alaska. I wonder was this part of this epic trip or a separate one? State 49?

Yes, that is their 49th state and I think they plan on heading to Hawaii in the fall this year.:Headspin:

Dermot, that pic reminded me of Keith Mc Cracken's time machine, he has it set up in Spires shopping centre in Belfast!

Every time I see pics of people in the Holler's car reminds me of a the BTTF display at a toy convention years ago (2002-ish) when I lived in Orlando. My friend Mike and I just happened to go to the show and met Tom Wilson there, and of course got the obligatory picture in the time machine while we were waiting (im pretty sure it was still during the good ol Polaroid years) 8)

It's so great to see how far they travel for such a good cause!

Any pics?

[Oliver Holler]

Yes Mike!
The 2002 FX Show in Orlando was one of our first public appearances! I finished wiring the flux capacitor in my driveway around 4:30am that morning before we began the 8.5 hour drive! Many firsts, including meeting Stephen Clark of BTTF.com. (Yes, we used Polaroids!!! LOL!)

Hey Jim! I'd love to attend any future planned events! Just say the word. It's true I haven't been super-active in the D community, but that is mostly the fault of my day job as it's quite time consuming. I'm finding more time available to me these days, however. Hope all is well!
