The TARDIS or the DeLoreon. Which one and why?

Always the DeLorean.
The way I see it, if you're going to build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?
The TARDIS, of course. I cannot even comprehend why anyone would prefer the DeLorean.
Crop.
The TARDIS has more room for the bitches I pick up. I don't care if the De Lorean would make it easier to pick up.
If you fix the TARDIS' cloaking device thing, you could make it look like a DeLorean.
Never got into Doctor Who (I haven't tried to, either), but the TARDIS sounds more practical.
TARDIS. Although the DeLorean does seem like it would have a much more simplified interface.
Actually, I'm going to go with that time-traveling live-in train the Doc built at the end of the third movie.
I'm going to have to agree with this one.Quote:

I think if mere mortals such as ourselves attempted to fly the faulty tardis it would just explode
Can I pick the time machine train from the end of Back to the Future 3?
You might as well, I did :kakapo:Quote:

I just want to point out that if we're imagining a scenario in which we can have these things, it's fairly reasonable to assume we know how to use them. xD
So can I be The Doctor? :bigsmile:Quote:

TARDIS may be practical... but it is far from cool. Doctor Who is not cool.
Bowties are cool.

My first initial response would've been the phone booth time machine that Bill and Ted used in their most excellent adventure *cue air guitar* but after careful consideration and further thought I'd rather time travel in style so, definatly the Deloreon ;)
magewarrior knows. This is the correct answer.Quote:

Didn't you just come out as British or something? How can you not like the TARDIS? :confused:
Anything related to Doctor Who I really can't stand. I remember watching some of them growing up thinking "God, this really looks bad. I could make better sets than that with some paint and a pile of potatoes".
This is when I was like eight and had no concept as to what a set was.
The TARDIS concept is quite cool but it was overshadowed by the fact that the whole thing looked shoddy and the monsters were some of the worst ever created. I mean seriously... what the hell is this?

I haven't ever watched more than the first 6 seconds of dr who, but I would still go with tardis, it doesnt require lightning strikes or train rides or getting up to 88 mph. plus it is a phone booth.
One advantage of the TARDIS is that it can transport you to any place as well as time (just done some research) so that might give it the advantage.
It's still not as cool as a gull-winged Delorean though and has been infected with Doctor Who germs...
It also translates any language for you and has libraries and swimming pools and bedrooms. :colbert:
I don't see why I should have to choose at all when I could fit my time traveling train and Delorean inside my TARDIS. But since I'm being forced to choose, we'll go with the TARDIS. The fact that it can travel anywhere in time AND space gives it the edge. Especially in the real world where traveling back in time even an hour in the Delorean would leave you floating in space with the Earth hurtling towards you assuming you maintain your present position in space while traveling in time of course.Quote:

So I pick Delorean, assuming the DR Who time machine is just like the H G Wells one with some spiffy features.
But the Delorean has to be able to fly and has the Mr Fusion "throw rocks in it" power supply.
I would go into the past, throw away relics into the Mr Fusion, and then unmake existence.
Delorean all the way.
Doctor Who can bite me.
The TARDIS is an entire space ship camouflaged as a Police Box. It can fly and is pretty smurfing hardy too. The DeLorean wouldn't even withstand those Libyans for very long. :pQuote:

OK, after quite a bit of research I would have to choose the TARDIS as my time-travel vehicle of choice. Just a couple of things though...
- The Delorean is cooler
- Doctor Who is still probably the worst sci-fi series of all time
However, the deal-breaker for me is the Doctor's new assistant... Jenna-Louise Coleman. If she is in the TARDIS with me then the Delorean can go and smurf itself.

The DeLorean is a trout car that does trout things. Even when it travels through time, it does so trouttily. The Back to the Future films are amazing, but that's irrelevant in this regard because the DeLorean is troutty. By having a TARDIS, you're not Doctor Who. You don't have some incredible adventures through space or a vast quantity of stupid "adventures" in space either. You have absolutely no relation to the show, other than having the TARDIS.
This is like asking someone which they prefer: tin cans with bits of string, or a smartphone. Sure, you can have some sentimental value attached to the tin cans, and you could have really enjoyed what was done with them in the film "Tin Cans 2: Revenge of the Baked Beans", but they still can't play Cut the Rope. Smartphones are simply superior is every way - bar containing beans, of course - and to prefer tin cans makes you a wanker. xD
As much as I love cars, the DeLorean was never a very impressive piece to begin with. I'd own one for the giggle factor, but that's about it.
With all the flexibility it has, the TARDIS is a much better option. The USS Relativity isn't that bad of a second option.
Why is this analogy so familiar?Quote:

TARDIS, no contest.
Especially if it comes with David Tennant.
