Re: [DML] De Lorean on Jim Varney E! True Hollywood story

["Gabe" <thecreech@xxxx>]

A friend saw that show and told me that one of Jims friends reported he had
taken the delorean on the highway and gone 140 mph. I thought that was
ridiculous, the chances of it are very low. My guess is that Jim didn't
upgrade the car but if he did, not just would he have to do that but he'd
also have to get an upgraded speedometer that went up to 140. I think that
this friend just guessed they were going 140 because the speed had exceeded
the factory speedometer that only goes up to 85
