Uqg-09... - Anybody own this?

[MrShadow]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]It's a red 96 hardtop. *Follwed it up the F3 from Wyong to Warnervale exits. *Anybody own it?[/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]i don't :p

but which "red"?

Passion Rose? 94-97
Passion Red? late 96-98
Oriental Red? late 96-98[/color:post_uid0]

[MrShadow]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Beats the f&*k outta me. It wasn't Passion Rose though. Was a more "earthy" red if you know what I mean.[/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]prolly Oriental Red. it's a bit more 'orangey' than Passion Rose/Red.

don't mind me, i'm just picky :;): :p[/color:post_uid0]

[CityEnd]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]speaking of red hardtops.

[MrShadow]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Well, they are the best looking of the Astina's you know....[/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]LOL iv'e seen that ad and thought it was! :D :D

and i remember seeing an ad in a NZ car mag for insurance that had a HT in there too...

and of course they're the best looking ones!

/daniel waits for Mal to come in here and say something
:p[/color:post_uid0]

[BigMal]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]I understand mate, its OK.
You both need to convince yourselves that your colour is
best as you missed out on the buying the Ultimate..The
Noble Green Hatch. Its like little penis/man syndrome.
They buy the big cars etc to try and make up for it so
can understand why you guys keep harping on that the
Red is best.

Next time we meet will remember to let you come for a
ride in one.

Mal
p.s Notice that I drive a little car for a big guy !! :laugh:[/color:post_uid1]

[MrShadow]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]nah, nah nah mate. It'a not the colour - I think gunmetal grey is a much better colour for the hardtop. It's the shape man. Best shape ever. And, umm, the 323 can in NO WAY be described as a "big car". :;):[/color:post_uid0]

[BigMal]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]Umm thats what I meant.
I drive a little car and I am a big guy !!![/color:post_uid1]

[BigMal]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]Changing the subject were there any Santa suits on that
Southpark Website. Its been a week think its time I
changed my clothes and get into the festive season.

Mal[/color:post_uid1]

[Sandyman]

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]not a bad idea
so ur gonna put a guy in a santa suit wiv his eyes half open, a mug in one hand and a bottle in the other, and an unshaven beard?[/color:post_uid0]

[BigMal]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]Yeah, you got a problem with that.
We never put out milk and cookies for santa on xmas
eve it was always a beer and biscuits, and it always
went. I just got to tell my son that Santa drinks Jim
Beam so he gets it right.

Mal[/color:post_uid1]

[Sandyman]

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]u got a son? the poor kid...

jokin mate :p[/color:post_uid0]

[BigMal]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]Yep he's at home watching ABC cartoons like all the other
kids. More likely following in his old mans shoe's and watching
the one with the best hostess.

Kidding with you now.

Mal[/color:post_uid1]

[O-LYM-PIC]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]that kids in good hands!!!!
when do u get him his first astina?? mayb a matchbox one to start with, then u can move up 2 one of those ride-able astinas, first with the pedal power and then a battery opetrated version.
lucky lil.....
hehehehehe :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:[/color:post_uid0]

[bRaDiNhO]

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]has anybody actually got a model Astina? Mazda at Hornsby had one, but it was some special thing they found in Japan. I want one!![/color:post_uid0]

[BigMal]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]O-lym-pic,
* * * * * *Check my plates, he actually owns my car :laugh:
Gives him a buzz when I drop him off to soccer or school
etc with his mates which I think is a blast. *I tried to let him
steer it couple of weeks ago but with the way I fang it
around I think I have scared him so he wouldn't do it. He
does change the gears for me every now and again.

Brad,
* * * There are a couple of car collector shops here in the
city I will look for you. *I am sure I saw one there once
but it wasn't exactly cheap. *Think it was the JTCC car
with the green, white, red camouflage. *Will go have a look.

[O-LYM-PIC]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]mal, he's got u wrapped around his lil finger, eh??? the kids always run rings around the parents when they'r young!!! i think u gota get him one of those steering wheels on the passanger side and maybe his one gearstick, so he can get used 2 the feel of the astina from a young age, so that when he inherits it, he'l feel rite at home.

and with the model astinas, im sure ive seen 1 around somewhere, not our models brad, but definatly the newer ones like the ba's, and if u looked hard im sure ud turn up a new sp20. i'l keep an eye out


:D :D :D[/color:post_uid0]

[Sandyman]

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]your kid can change gears for u? damn. 1st time i drove a car was when i was about 10 or 11 when my mum gave me a little drive (about 5 seconds) of her auto-pajero on our long ass driveway...didn't get past 2000 revs :p

now i can park her commodore better than her any day :D

love driving the astina. afew ks away from my house theres a 100x150m cement lot thing where dad allows me to have a go at the wheel. beautiful car.[/color:post_uid0]

[BigMal]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]My Son Joshua is 7 so its not like he's in diapers or anything.
Changing gears is not that hard to do with a little practice,
only prob he has is getting 2nd-3rd right which I help with.
Yeah he has me round his fingers being an only child. Xmas
is tricky as he wants a Gamecube but I want a PS2 to match
mine so we can share games but he loves Mario. He will
probably win :D

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]Nintendo...when will those damn kids ever learn...[/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]on the subject of the model cars, there's 1:42 scale BG Astinas, and BA hatches in about the same size. you can also get the Hatch in HO scale (1:87) but good luck actually finding some of the HO ones in australia!

a pretty good list of what's available (http://home.planet.nl/~vaal0002/)

Herpa Ho scale

[BigMal]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]I have seen some of those HO "Amazing Mazda" ones in
the collectors shop in Kent street. That is where I saw
the JTCC one. Will check price and availability.

Mal[/color:post_uid1]

[MrShadow]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Are these static models or RC? If RC, petrol or electric?

And, ummm, can somebody get me one for Christmas? :p[/color:post_uid0]

[BigMal]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]They are pretty much matchbox cars in a plastic box on
a plastic stand and cost about $40.

Thats why Josh doesn't have one. I can buy him a HSV
VX commodore through my flatmate for ****loads cheaper
than that and its bigger.

Mal[/color:post_uid1]

[sik astina]

[color=#0000FF:post_uid5]Mal, thought about buying thos mini R/C cars for josh? there pretty cool. think there called Nano Racers they sell for 2 for $50.. but there a few brands out there so they might cost abit more.

click here (http://www.gamesfantasy.com/minirccars.html) to see them

[BigMal]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]Mick,
Last year I bought him a big RC car and his mum lost it
somewhere in packing **** up. It pisses me off no end. I
gave him my PS1 ages ago and after 6 months I asked him
about it and it was still in the cupboard she never set it
up for him. I took it back cause its a chipped one. I think
I will keep the Gamecube at my place.

Hey changing the subject anybody any good at C programming.

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Not real good, I know the basics. I may be able to help, what's your problem/question?[/color:post_uid0]

[CityEnd]

[MrShadow]

[MrShadow]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Pity they don't have the Astina in them. I'd love to see a petrol powered RC model of the Hardtop, ohh yeah baby! :p[/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]hah the only thing ever made of the astina HT was this:

[img:post_uid0]http://www.netlaputa.ne.jp/~haha/lantische/model/type_ms5.jpg[/img:post_uid0]

and it never made production :angry: :( :angry:[/color:post_uid0]

[MrShadow]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Bummer. Still, I suppose you could make a mould and fix it to a standard Tamyia kit. That'd be kewl. Get the WRX kit, and slip an Astina top on it.[/color:post_uid0]
