‘Do you know how fast you were going? You were going 88 mph’Ī California Highway Patrol officer using lidar, a laser gun that emits a beam of infrared light to measure a vehicle’s speed, was parked on the right freeway shoulder when he clocked in the high speed, said Officer Josh Greengard, a CHP spokesman. He then looked over and asked his giggling 67-year-old mother, “Do you want to take it up to 88?” The mother and son agreed, saying “Yeah, let’s do it.”Īs White pressed his foot on the gas, the gray DeLorean DMC-12 reached 88 mph. White glanced at his speedometer and noticed it was hovering between 84 and 85 mph. White said he got stuck behind a motorist who was driving about 45 mph in the far right lane, so he moved into another lane and sped up to keep pace with traffic. It was the first time White had taken his mother, Michelene, out for a spin on the highway. “If you are going to get a ticket, it’s the dream ticket,” White told The Times. But the 36-year-old Santa Clarita Valley resident wasn’t transported into the future: He got busted for speeding on the 14 Freeway in Newhall. On Friday night, he achieved another milestone, albeit a costly one, when he reached 88 mph – the magic speed that sent Marty McFly into the future.

However, I included a "drop-down" back door to allow a much better access to its interior which is fully decorated and has enough room for 2 or even 3 minifigs (including a chair). The cabin includes the doors made in the original designed as seen in the video. Both pieces are attached to each other by standard train magnets.

The base is an adapted copy of the Night Emerald including the internal mechanism which makes the gears at each side to roll as the train goes over the tracks, powered by a 9V/6 wheels train engine. There's very liitle explanation in the movie as to how the train functions except that it is "fueled" by plain water and that to transport to one time to another, the wheels fold inward and it deploys some bat shaped wings from underneath while it flies to its destiny. I choose to make this train as a fully functioning LEGO train. The locomotive and what seems to be some sort of a remodeled coal wagon. Here is a description from the Lego builder: The set is made in two independent parts.

And finally, GRusso has created a LEGO Time Train from the end of Back to the Future Part III.
