Happy Back to the Future Day 2024

Today is Back to the Future Day.

Back on the 13th March 2020 I got to see a DeLorean time machine at MediaCity in Salford. How different times were then!

In October 2020 we found a video rental shop in Little Lever, Bolton stocked with loads of VHS tapes. It was like stepping back in time!

A Back to the Future DeLorean - in 2020

I saw a Back to the Future DeLorean time machine four years ago today.


This was the last event we went to, as the world went into shutdown with the coronavirus pandemic shortly afterwards.

In 2019 I ticked 'See a real life DeLorean' off of my bucket list.

On Friday the 13th 2020 I managed to see another one at MediaCityUK in Salford and that one was this Back to the Future version!

If you had a time machine would you go back in time or head to the future?

Pretending to be a Time Traveller

Today is Pretend to be a Time Traveller Day.

The closest I've been to time travel was when I saw this DeLorean Time Machine back in March this year.

What a difference a year makes

This time last year I saw my first DeLorean in real life at the Didsbury & South Manchester Car Show in Didsbury Park.

DeLoreans are like buses - you wait over 30 years to see one and then get to see two at the same time

If only I had a time machine to go back to then - or forward to after the pandemic.

One of the last times we travelled anywhere outside of Stockport was to see a Back to the Future time machine DeLorean at Media City in Salford back on the 13th March.

Back to the Future is 35

Back to the Future was released in the USA on this day in 1985!


On Friday 13th March I managed to see a Back to the Future DeLorean at Media City in Salford.

It was brilliant to tick that off my bucket list.

Famous retro vehicles from the 80s

I've seen a few different vehicles from the 80s on my travels including an Ecto-1 and Ecto-1a from Ghostbusters, a DMC DeLorean, a Star Wars Speeder Bike from Return of the Jedi, and most recently a Back to the Future DeLorean.

Next on my bucket list is KITT from Knight Rider and a legit A-Team van. I've seen quite a few bootlegs already.

Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day

Today is Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day.


The first Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day took place in 2007.


In 2017 Emily visited the Time Machine Minigolf course in Warsaw, Poland.

The 18-hole minigolf course takes players through a wonderful time travelling adventure - from the Big Bang, to the Jurassic era, through mankind's achievements and to a vision of the future!

My brother Christopher also visited the time travel themed GlowGolf minigolf course in Amsterdam in January 2017.

The closest I've been to time travel was when I saw my first real-life DeLorean earlier this year.

Although back in 2012 I did play a Time Machine minigolf hole at the Golf Apocalypse in London.


If you could travel to any point in the history of minigolf from 1867 to the present day where would you go?

My first DeLorean

I finally ticked 'See a real life DeLorean' off of my bucket list.

Our friend Celine was showing off her car at the Didsbury & South Manchester Car Show in Didsbury Park yesterday and as soon as she parked up let me know there were some DeLoreans there too.

What a sight!

I've wanted to see one in real life for ages, so it was typical I got to see two at the same time.


Next I need to drive one.
