Re: Wanna sound like a time machine?

I have done this, not to a real delorean, but to a radio controlled 
Delorean i have, also another toy delorean. now when I drive the RC 
car around it plays the BTTF theme song. Kind of cool. I'm working 
on making so I can press a button on the controller and it starts to 
play on the car. 
I haven't done anything with my real delorean at all, but that would 
be kind of cool.
