Darat76 265 Posted December 7, 2016 @Wireless I remember watching that car race, is it the real deal, or a mock up tribute? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Illogical 141 Posted December 13, 2016 It's on centrelock wheels so I'm guessing it's the actual race car. I nearly bought an RS500 about 12 years ago...I wish I had done with todays prices! I still have a thing about a moonstone 3dr. Maybe one day... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo 1201 Posted December 14, 2016 I've been working on the 1:1's heaps lately but found a disc with pics from a shoot in 2006 on it. Happy days ! sorry....iPad fail. I'll fix it tomorrow. Too tired zzz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zakspeed 187 Posted December 14, 2016 Aye up Roop glad you're still around and still got the Sierra (nice new addition by the way) I suppose I owt to update mine as it's been a few years now since I last updated it. These are the main reason why I have been a bit quiet on TC recently and why I sold quite a large proportion of my Tamiya collection. the money raised from selling my Tamiyas was reinvested into these. First up is my 1963 Anglia Combi van And next my 1986 Mini Moke and my 2001 Mitsubishi L300 van that I converted into a camper a few years back. I also have a subaru pick up (but thats in the other thread so wont fill this one up and a 1986 Mitsubishi Lancer 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darat76 265 Posted December 16, 2016 @Wireless that is so sweet man, that would have set you back a pretty penny getting that, know there be lots of Brock fans that would've wanted to keep that in Aus, tho that said, most fans didn't like the sierra's. Hope your going to give that thing a good (but careful) blat at some track days If you do, I'd love to see some pics and vids of it running a track again, I can handle it not being bathurst Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thommo 1201 Posted December 16, 2016 Thanks @Darat76 appreciate the comments Mate and yeah she's pretty much only All Ford Day & Chrome Bumper Cruises or take the kids out for a skid... How funny is this.... a thread just opened on my 1:1 forum about RC's this morning so I'm posting RC's on my 1:1 forum and posting 1:1's on my RC forum http://www.ozfalcon.com.au/index.php?/topic/6624-model-cars-and-rc-cars/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darat76 265 Posted December 16, 2016 Nice, I often miss my 78 falcon, was the wagon, in dark brown, had to many problems for an unemployed bloke to afford to fix (rust, seized drum, blue angel fur on the door skins from the previous owner), so got rid of it (stupidly). Had the gs headlights and instrument cluster, 302, manual, and standard lsd (No not the inner), and it exploded LPG in the cylinders, as it was, it was able to beat some of the "faster" cars in my town back then.... Yea small town, mostly they used 2L jap 4's, or vk's and vl's lol. Currently I roll a sad looking 98 5L Calais, and have a 86 ga70 that needs a lot of time and money, neither of which I have, needless to say I have no photos, mostly coz they both be in a embarrassing state atm....

I was scraping every bit of loose change I could find to fund it. Already had offers from Aus to take it back there including to the 30th Anniversary bash next year at Philip Island. I'd love to see it at Bathurst as that's the ultimate race for me. I'm obsessed by the place and can literally recite the commentary from the 87 race word for word...! Would be great but not got the necessary funds to ship it there and back - badword, after buying it I can hardly afford to fill it with fuel at the moment...!!! It will go out on track for sure. Needs a bit of TLC first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your killing me ! I had a 78 XC GS wagon in platinum blue with a 302 V8 and C4 auto. Sold it to a collector and it's breaking my heart thinking about that mad Fatty Ford Wagon !

It's a bit of a sleeper as it's fitted with a 1.8 turbo lump so it's pretty quick !! certainly up on the 39bhp it had when it was first built!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
