It is a matter of record that the Australian version of Back To The Future would involve Marty using an AU Falcon (with a Peter Brock Energy Polariser) to travel back in time to 1985, not to make sure that his parents get together but to buy himself a terrace house in Marrickville for a slab of beer and a tenner as an investment property

@ThermiteBeGiants Oh yes. Even as late as 1998 I arrived in Melbourne and remembered walking along Gertrude Street in Fitzroy and wishing I had enough money to buy one of those buildings. They were clearly going to be worth a fortune one day.
