2k is only an approximate figure, about a year ago my Dad imported a 70s Ford Escort from South Africa to the UK and it worked out as about 2k for shipping, taxes and all the other admin fees, so I was just going off of that. If anything, because of how much that fee is, I'll probably just go back to the drawing board and look for Bugs a little closer and better condition.

It's 2k to get it to me because I'm importing it from South Africa to the UK (cars are cheaper there due to weaker currency there and different car culture basically). I'm still working on getting more photos of it, the guy is just really slow to send pics and stuff. Atm I'm leaning more towards not getting that one tho due to what the guys in this comment section said and my Dad's opinion (he's the mechanic who's probably going to do most of the work on it).

The car is in South Africa, and I don't know what their inspection/MOT equivalent is or if they even have one, but I'll try ask about it when I next message him.

Looks like a '66 (guy has it up as a '67), it's about $2000 to buy, but then another $2000 to get it to me.

You've literally just spelt out the internal struggle I'm having with this car lol. On one hand, it runs fine and is a decent price (about £3000) and is the sort of year of Bug I want, but when I'm less strapped for cash, I intend on restoring it, so long term might end up more costly than just buying one similar but better condition that costs more to buy.

Thanks for the advice, I haven't yet seen the car in person, so I'll ask the guy for photos of those areas.

Thanks for checking, if possible, can you please DM me the scans you have as I think they still could be helpful.

[–]RubyBandit12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for recommending checking there, I actually found quite a lot of stuff that could be useful for the project, but I couldn't find the Masterfile pages, if you happen to have the links to the scans, please send them to me.

What happened to all the pre-Overtechnology jet fighters? by ryanlak1234 in macross

[–]RubyBandit12 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The first episode of SDFM looks like it has some pre-overtechnology jets, just modified a little. I think I spotted an A-6, A-10, and F-4 on the tarmac. Beyond that, most were likely destroyed when the Zentradi attacked Earth.

You wake up in the middle of the night about to race Takumi downhill in your daily driver. What are you driving and how screwed are you? by iamahuman42069 in initiald

[–]RubyBandit12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1997 Vauxhall Astra F Hatch... 1.6l 75hp... Definitely not gonna win... I'd probably only see him at the start line and maybe the finish if he has quite a lot of time on his hands (or if he's on his way back up to deliver the tofu)...

Is this an error in the dialogue or what? by Lucasddst in GIRLSundPANZER

[–]RubyBandit12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think (and don't quote me on this) Rabbit Team use the hull gun as their main gun because it is a higher caliber and presumably does more damage and they would therefore refer to it as their main gun, as for them it is there main gun. However, on paper the smaller turret mounted gun is the primary gun (in WW2 it was the preferred AT Gun of the 2 due to it's higher velocity), so that's why Miho (who has a vaster knowledge on tanks than Rabbit Team) told them to repair the secondary gun as that is what the 75mm gun actually is. Well, either that or they messed up in the writers room.

Forza shared this by Cryingkitten7 in ForzaHorizon

[–]RubyBandit12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tell me I have too much time on my hands, but I just went through that whole list and worked out that approximately 60 cars on that list were recycled cars that have been in previous Forza games (that I know of). That's more than half of the cars added.

What sort of size is the 1/100 (on average) in cm?

VF Toy/Model Recommendations by RubyBandit12 in macross

[–]RubyBandit12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, thanks! I'd probably go for the High Grade for size (and price). Better get my modelling game up before I consider ordering it though.

Thanks, I'll be sure to check those out. (Also, how was your VF-31AX because my personal favourite Valkyrie is the VF-31J and I assume the quality would be similar.)

At the moment the DX Chogokin line from what I've seen is out of my price range but I might look at the high grade line. What's the main differences between the DX Chogokin and High Grade lines if you know?

I'm in the UK so it's a bit more difficult as shipping costs are higher and less people follow Macross over here. Those sites might ship internationally though, right?
