on Sunday and the road was completely clear.” “I wasn’t trying to time travel,” said Mills, who actually managed to hit a top speed of 89mph.
As The Guardian reports, a 55-year-old Englishman by the name of Nigel Mills recently achieved that speed in his own DeLorean, but rather than travel back in time, he was pulled over by police for speeding.Īs you may recall, 88 mph is the speed Marty McFly needs to hit in order to go back in time in Back to the Future, but according to Mills, time travel wasn’t on his mind. If you own a DeLorean, the cool-looking hunk of junk made famous in the 1985 movie Back to the Future, it’s a given that you would attempt to take it to 88mph at some point, just to see what would happen.
