who want's to see a 1:18 Biante forum FG & VE?

[UNDFTD]

okay, now this has been mentioned already in the "what models would you like to see" thread, but i thought this idea should have its own thread with a poll (this way i can count votes ratman;))

anyways here is the idea

a "Biante Forum Model" exclusive to active forum members only!, FG and VE limited to 250 (125 Fords and 125 Holdens)

as a really unique touch when you order one you can choose to have your username on the rear door glass (decals supplied by HDT337 of course)

Biante could get designer to create the liverys for the VE and Armageddon to create the FG liverys, now thats a model i'd like to see!

by having forum members being apart of this one off release would make it extra special, cmon Biante, it would be a sell out for sure;)

P.S. if anyone would like an UNDFTD FG (yes, i want a Ford one) id be happy to sign your COA:p:rolleyes:

[smokey_dj]

as stated ve please with cert 036 or 226 thank you :D

btw dan if this ever does get off the ground i recon it would be really good

also i like the way you are telling chris in a non direct way how to spend his money and run his company :p

but to be fair ive spoken with him hes a good bloke if he thinks theres something for him and us to get out of such an idea it may just happen

gee how long do you recon it will take for tony to jump on and request ve with cert 051 :p

[Tower]

again VE for me please hehehe

[njf015]

VE with #015 in the window....very nice ;)

[Holdennumber1]

That would be really cool. Don't know about the individual username thing on the door but I'm all for a Biante forum members model.
Oh and VE all the way, they're so much better looking than the FG's.:D
Cheers,
Thomas

P.S Kash, if its a VE, I should get #1 hence the username Holden#1.:p

[Kashmir]

VE for me and could I also have cert #1:p

[UNDFTD]

VE all the way, they're so much better looking than the FG's.:D


thats like saying ugly Betty is hotter than Scarlett Johanson

[Kashmir]

thats like saying ugly Betty is hotter than Scarlett Johanson

you are lost, seriously:p

[UNDFTD]

you are lost, seriously:p

my mum says im special:o

[ratster70]

VE #5 or #70 for me wont be nasty and say #51:p and good luck UNDFTD with the count;)

[UNDFTD]

good luck UNDFTD with the count;)
it will be a breeze now rat;)

[lukey73]

I would want Both. I really like the look of both the FG and VE as race cars, with them being limited to Forum members they would be a nice addition to the collection.

Another way of doing this may be to have them done as a single body colour with the Decals done by third party, so bascially a code 3 but all with the same stickers for each model.

I am sure that such a limited run wouldnt be cheap so might cost more than the normal V8's do if done with a custom paint job.

[ratster70]

Hey america ferrrari or what ever it is is way hotter when she aint ugly betty lol and besides have you heard scarlet sing OMG screaching cats sound better :p:D

You cant have both Lukey thats just plain greedy and besides the poll says you cant :p:p:D

[UNDFTD]

Hey america ferrrari or what ever it is is way hotter when she aint ugly betty

and Kash thinks im the lost one:rolleyes:

[smokey_dj]

i wouldnt mind getting chris's opinion on this tbh to know if this is all just a waste of time or if it kicks off it may happen ??

would you mind sharing your thoughts with us chris ?

[UNDFTD]

i wouldnt mind getting chris's opinion on this tbh to know if this is all just a waste of time or if it kicks off it may happen ??

would you mind sharing your thoughts with us chris ?

i think we scared him off Chris....his offline now:p

[00lowndes]

I will take the VE cert #051
and the FG cert #088

Just to be greedy LOL

[VE II]

Great idea Daniel!

The main problem I could see with this is the VE might not be able to be made as biante have said that they can't make ve code 3's/historic replicas or VE clean skins (though are working on it). I imagine that the FG would be doable but a nightmare of an adminstration job-lol

[UNDFTD]

Great idea Daniel!



Thanks Matt, but i kinda wish that was Chris Roche posting that:p

[Maximus]

Put me down for 1 of each and Cert #009 for both.
Oh and I would want my sons name on the side window and not mine as he was born last year.

Cheers

JR

[Maximus]

Just read I cant have both so put me down for the VE then as even though I am a Ford man the FG's just dont look that good to me compared with the VE.

[Kashmir]

and Kash thinks im the lost one:rolleyes:

Your a Ford man, I think that says it all:D

[pitcrew]

What a great Idea. Daniel:cool:

Being a holden man a VE for me.
no.21 for me :D

[Tower]

well if everyones going the coa's ill take #010 please :cool:

[lukey73]

You cant have both Lukey thats just plain greedy and besides the poll says you cant :p:p:D

Yeah i can, dont care what the poll says. If i am paying and want them i will buy them. And yes thats what i say to the other half too :D

[onfire]

nice idea danz put me down for a holden coa number 05

[Damage]

Good luck with it Daniel. If by chance it happens, I'll ask a miracle and request VE #011 (I dont think # 001 to 010 will be made available to us (if they are made at all)

[UNDFTD]

to all the guys requesting certain COA numbers, im just curious what these numbers mean to you

[UNDFTD]

Good luck with it Daniel. If by chance it happens, I'll ask a miracle and request VE #011 (I dont think # 001 to 010 will be made available to us (if they are made at all)

i think this idea will need all the luck it can get D, i myself think its a long shot....but it doesn't hurt to ask, at least by having the poll Biante will be able to see how much interest the idea is generating

[HRT-222]

Sounds like a great idea to me, i wouldnt mind cert No# 222 if that would be possible (goes with my username)

Cheers Josh

[njf015]

to all the guys requesting certain COA numbers, im just curious what these numbers mean to you

#015 = Lowndes 1st HRT number + was/is my basketball number since highschool. and have 015 on my numberplate on my 1:1 :rolleyes:

[Damage]

i think this idea will need all the luck it can get D, i myself think its a long shot....but it doesn't hurt to ask, at least by having the poll Biante will be able to see how much interest the idea is generating

I'm serious mate, I wish you all the luck in the world. It would certainly be something different in our collections, thats for sure. Looking forward to the response from The Brass

to all the guys requesting certain COA numbers, im just curious what these numbers mean to you
11 is the number after 10 :p

[UNDFTD]

11 is the number after 10 :p

yes, and 12 is the number after 11:confused:

[minh427]

427 please.

[UNDFTD]

427 please.

not possible Minh, only 250 being made, well not quite being made...but you get my drift

[brchi17]

You cant have both Lukey thats just plain greedy and besides the poll says you cant :p:p:D

I don't see why not, plus polls can always be edited/changed ;)

Also, before we start doing in members for what Would be a massive task, has anyone thought to ask any of them if they would be interested in such a project?

[lachlan]

Wow 10 years old. How time flys...

[1:43]

I would take an FG. Number 143 thank's (Can I have a small one?) (Model that is, before you all start)

[Tumbo]

why do we need # certs - and if they are numbered shouldn't it be based on when you joined the forum..........since everyone will be scampering for certain #s seems a reasonable idea

totally agree w/ brad as well in terms of slugging responsiblities on members w/out considering whether they can take it onboard

[VXfan]

I will take the VE cert #051

Oh I don't think so!:p;)

[minh427]

Oh I don't think so!:p;)

Whats wrong with two #51 certificates. No one will know. lol ;)

[Damage]

Great idea, base it on date joined. I'll take Brad's :p

[brchi17]

Great idea, base it on date joined. I'll take Brad's :p

I doubt it would meet your criteria for COA's thus you'd be dissapointed ;)

[wayno]

I think you and I would surely get to jump the queue a little Brad. ;):D

[Damage]

I think you and I would surely get to jump the queue a little Brad. ;):D

See? See? Nudge nudge, wink wink..

[smythy17]

Hell Yeah..... An FG with Smithy on the window and a big 17 on the door this is a fantastic idea for forum members
Oh and i would like to get a matching #17 COA if thats at all possible. I haven't seen anyone put dibs on it yet.

[kts350]

Since I can't have #350 on it I'd love a VE with #26...

[Maximus]

to all the guys requesting certain COA numbers, im just curious what these numbers mean to you

Well I would want #009 as it was the year (2009) my son was born.

[UNDFTD]

Also, before we start doing in members for what Would be a massive task, has anyone thought to ask any of them if they would be interested in such a project?

no, cant say i have Brad, but i didnt feel the need to as i was just saying that it would be a good idea to have these skilled forum members involved in this certain project as it would make it that extra bit special.....im not putting a gun to anyones head

[Tower]

to all the guys requesting certain COA numbers, im just curious what these numbers mean to you

i was wanting to go 009 as the year i joined but thats asked for, so id ask for #010 as thats the year which the idea was thought of for the model, but as in the other thread i thought a coa that read this is model bla bla bla is 1 of 125 so everyoone had the same coa and noone missed out.just a thought.

[HrtTassieFan]

VE for me please i don't mind which number not fussy would just like one tis all

[lachlan]

Haven't we been through this before and it was decided we would get hats :D :D :D

[onfire]

i guess members need to keep in mind they would be asked to pay aroudn the $150-$200 for a 1:18
im still down for it
how many of you guys would still pay?

[Tower]

its another car in the collection isnt it, so id pay the $215 that most models are priced.

[ratster70]

Haven't we been through this before and it was decided we would get hats :D :D :D


Hats where???? ive got a great hat collection damn now i gotta hunt down a biante members hat :p lol

[lachlan]

The members who have been on here for a while have been through this, possibly why none of us care? :D :D

Personally i think it's a great idea and it's obvious that alot of other members think the same. I reckon this would mean more to me than a "Biante Code 3" and would be pretty special. Not knockin the idea Chris i just reckon that it'd be definatly something to show the diehard collectors and members on this forum that their ongoing support to this site (My wife calls it 'car porn') and to the feedback of this great company and its products doesn't go unnoticed. I hope that some of these talented members can help out.

[coupete 74]

I went through this with the other mob some time ago,I suggested to base the members cars on race tracks rather than some indiscriminent graphic, at least there would be memories of tracks like Oran Park or anniversarys 30 yrs at bathurst, 10th clipsal and so on, on a car from the era. I think it would add to the displays. There are no racecars without race tracks!!!
Only a suggestion What do you think?

On the model idea I think it has merit but I still think we need to be recognisable in a crowd, (without being arrested for D & D):rolleyes:

but then again Thomas there is only 522 "active members" then half of that 522 are members who just use the BSS section of the forum...who imo are not worthy of this exclusive release, so in reality there is probably 250 members that should be entitled to these models,

so like i said people, get your votes in and help make this happen. how good would one of these look in your collection!?

[lachlan]

Where's the option of "No thanks don't want one" :D :D

[smokey_dj]

you can have 026 i want #226 or #036

and just to add to that my birthday is 26 nov :p

If half the active members 'arent worthy' (lol) then how about making 100 or 125 of each and if that happened, would you pay $250 for one because of the higher cost to make each unit due to reduced numbers?

Also, would Pete & Armageddon be willing to design the forum member's model livery?

[onfire]

[Footy]

I'll take one of each.Would fit in nice with the Mclaren.

[Maximus]

If we could get BOTH can I get both #009 Certificates?

[<Jonboy>]

FG for me, #44 if it was to have my name on the side, same as my 1:1

[smokey_dj]

surely that cant be the only intrest in this idea cmon guys get behind it :D

[Maq]

Good idea but not for me. For the price of models lately I would want a real race car. To me they serve no purpose.

Ve #3 or #8 would do me just fine

[bjsti7]

VE for me number 35

[MP4/22]

VE Mp4/22 ??

maybe 224 :p

[MP4/22]

Why don't we have Names on the COA ???? Not Numbers, in WW2 some wealthy families paid for, and donated planes. And the planes were named after family members.......

History lesson over >>>> i.e. VE MP4/22, VE smokey dj, or FG Wayno.

#87 for me.

If we can only get one of either the FG or VE I would prefer the VE so you can have the #009 of the FG.

I've always been brocky fan and I still cop crap from my mates because I married somebody with the same birthday as brocky..
Oh and one year when we were singing happy birthday to her mates decided to sing happy birthday to brocky instead..
Btw when i mentioned this to her she said that model would be cool so I've already got approval from the minister for finance and war.

[00lowndes]

Maybe change the red to black and have the grey red for holden and blue for ford. Just a thought
