Wait! Shouldn't McFly own this?
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver March 29th, 2006

The 3am Girls may hardly be Victoria Newton's Bizarre, but nevertheless they've delivered a good today, with the news that Son Of Dork singer-slash-Pokemon-lookalike James Bourne has splashed out on the original Delorean from Back To The Future.

Really, if you ever needed a reason to hate the former Busted boy, this is it.

The car cost a whopping £18,000, which, frankly, is ridiculous for a car that was never any good in the first place (although this one does have a Flux Capacitor). The girls, writing in The Mirror, quote a source thus:

"James loves Back To The Future, and when he found out the original car was for sale he went to Bath to buy it. It's only got 100 miles on the clock as it was only driven around on set."

DiScuss: BASTARD. Oh, and I suppose this money has come from Busted, eh, cos Son Of Dork have sold exactly diddly-nothing albums.
