In case you weren't aware yet - Today is the day that Marty McFly arrived in the future after hitting 88mph in a pimped out Delorean in 1985.

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

And most fans would know it was a trip to 1955 in the first.. followed by a leap to 2015 in the 2nd and finally 1885 in the third.

If you can't even remember Marty McFly's exact movements between years its barely worth conversing with you. simple, 1985-1955-2015-1985-1955-1885-1985.

Sorry, just realized it was a joke. Though I knew they never went to that date, there are are few times when the time machine messes up the display and other dates appear and you see Doc slapping it to fix it. I thought this must have been one of those dates. That would really take a good eye and memory!

Any BTTF fan knows it's 2015, so still time for hover conversions!

Any self-respecting BTTF fan would know that it's actually 2015 and be eagerly awaiting flying cars and hoverboards.

1985 - 1955 - 1985 - 2015 (Delorean went to 1955 briefly) - 1985 - 1955 - 1885 (twice) - 1985 In fact at one point in 1955 there were 4 Delorean time machines in Hill Valley! Original at (1955) Doc's place One with Biff One in abandoned mine One with (1985) Doc Although it could be argued that the one in the mine wouldn't have existed until (1985) Doc hadn't of travelled to 1885!
