Re: The Bat Cave

The cars are awesome! Is this the same Delorean that is (was?) parked at Universal Studios in FL? I remember seeing one out there but I recall it was pretty beat up.

I also like the collection of pinball machines that he has. For some reason I am a big fan of pinball machines... I was always drawn to them when visiting the arcade.

I really like this guys setup

Re: The Bat Cave

No, I'm pretty sure it isn't the same DeLorean. This one is in pretty damn good condition.

This has developed a lot of pinball machines as well as some of the most popular casino games on the planet. I'm serious.

Yeah...you really can't beat the set up.

Re: The Bat Cave

Damn, you guys have some great eyes.

Yes, that is the ACTUAL chair used in the second movie. He also has the actual Dr. Evil ring from the second movie as well. He knows a lot of people, so he has some wicked stuff.

The DeLorean is the actual car used to film the second Back to the Future movie. The owner is good friends with Bob Gale, who helped write the second movie. It's the real deal. John (Eliot Ness) actually helped me detailed both of those cars, hence the reason he posted the pic.

Wow, how does it feel to know you polished a peice of history?

I need a garage like that. I'm taking donations right now .

Re: The Bat Cave

There was some tread on the Meguiars forum about detailing a bat mobile, is that a different one?

Re: The Bat Cave

It pretty damn cool, to be honest. John (Eliot Ness) and I were pretty proud to have worked on the cars.

Re: The Bat Cave

Hey, Mark.

I know the article you're talking about...John sent that link to me.

Yes, the one we worked on is a different car.

I can imagine, I can honestly say I'm not the only jealous one!

You did an awesome job too.
