Which mode of transportation?

[Slothy]

Can I pick the time machine train from the end of Back to the Future 3?

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.

Bowties are cool.

So are fezzes.

Can't leave out Stetsons.

it's almost necessary to have the following in a time traveling device:

- ability to travel or ease of hiding
- has to be placed somewhere that would not obtrusive, or wouldn't just fall off a cliff when traveling between time

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.

Bear in mind that the TARDIS has a field on it that makes everyone just sort of not notice it. The DeLorean has to hope for caves and muddy sheets if it wants to blend in. With a TARDIS, you can go anywhere and when with no effort whatsoever. It is the superior machine in every regard.

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?

[Quindiana Jones]

I have no idea. I used a cake one earlier, perhaps they have a similar tone?

Alright, you take her and I'll take Karen Gillan.

But I know someone else who can go smurf themselves for not liking Doctor Who.

Maybe you just write entertaining analogies.

We have a winner!

[Hollycat]

Tardis. This reason.

[Raistlin]

TARDIS, no contest.

Especially if it comes with David Tennant.
