syn13 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Its been bothering me ever since he first drove his car which very closely resembles the Lancia Delta. So assuming that it really is the Delta, that car has got be extremely rare and atleast almost 100 years old being that it originated from Earth and being a car that had it's production ended in the 80's(I believe). Either that or its a replicate but hes still got some good taste haha~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-25 Messiah Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Either that or its a replicate but hes still got some good taste haha~ Given the peculiar engine noises, most assuredly a replica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkReaper Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Besides it's a lancia, I bet most of them have rusted away by 2020 at best. I bet it's a kitcar, like all those caterhams and lambos floating around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syn13 Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 I wonder if this is a growing trend for mecha characters, Misato from Evangelion had some sort of European/Italian sports car and in the more recent mecha series, Lockon from Gundam 00 drives what looks like another Lanica type(boxier Stratos with the almost same colour scheme as Ozma's Delta).

Mercurial Morpheus Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Misato drove a Renualt if memory serves. It could just be that Frontier likes to build things influenced by the past. Much like how they replicated SF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polidread Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 yeah, i think so too - almost every car i saw in the city (except maybe Sheryl's limousine) is an old type of car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3v Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Misato drove a Alpine A310 1600ve and yes, Alpine is a Renault subsidiary, specializing in rear engined sports cars with Renault engines. Now back on topic, IMO the real indicator of Ozma's good taste is his choice of songs, Fire Bomber FTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Duo~Trenten Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 In Ghost in the Shell SAC, Batou drives a yellow Lancia Stratos if memory serves me right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFTF1 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I am a big fan of the fact that not only cars, but buildings and even landscapes all harken back to something on Earth...after all, Frontier is just one big San Fran:) ... As for Ozma liking old cars - well... he likes old women as well VFTF1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercurial Morpheus Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 True. I think it'd be awesome if Galaxy was modeled after San Jose, being the capital of Silicon Valley, and a nice extension of the SJ/SF rivalry. Geez, can you guess my hometown? I think Cathy would slap you for that VFTF1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWolf Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 (edited) Lol Macross women always have an issue about that. Though society whose population is relatively young it is understandable. The difference is that Cathy is still a unbought Christmas cake compared to Misa and Millia. Edited July 21, 2008 by RedWolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syn13 Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 Ghost In the Shell SAC also debuted the Nissan Sports Hatchback(not the Versa but something like it), I dunno, I'm not into cars anymore, into bikes now. Aw what about Toronto lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stray Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 The difference is that Cathy is still a unbought Christmas cake compared to Misa and Millia. Wow, you went there. See but it's 2059 though, we can't get stuck in a 2040's mindset. Cougars need love too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsain Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 The difference is that Cathy is still a unbought Christmas cake compared to Misa and Millia. I betcha Millia STILL looks just as good 12 years later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'd bet a lot on Milia looking EXACTLY the same. She's not even a hybrid, she's pure Meltran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedWolf Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 More likely though Max and Millia is together again and produced another daughter or two. You have to wonder though. Macross 7 could be the closest fleet there is to Frontier and Galaxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Max and company showing up with reinforcements for the final showdown would really make my day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamweaver13 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Max and company showing up with reinforcements for the final showdown would really make my day. and we'd see max and alto each trying to outfly the other one. how cool is that??

RedWolf Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 and we'd see max and alto each trying to outfly the other one. how cool is that?? Alto was going WTF with Ozma's speed with an Armored Pack. Alto would go WTF with Max flying a production model VF-24. Outperforming both him and Brera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impreszive Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 So did I mention that I am "Ozma-izing" my Impreza? I am trying to get a good place to do some work on the roof of the car. I need a camera, and I will post pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
