(...) I wouldn't be buying this set anyway, but I'm really getting tired of TLC's excuses to AFOLs. "New molds cost too much" was the old refrain, but now it's "an inability to produce new colors of those parts in our current financial state". Where (...)

(...) Apparently Americans don't like hatch backs, so I wouldn't expect a hatch to appear in North America any time soon. I assume that's why the SiR was being build in the UK. Iain you should get a Ridgeline, that's more your style. :-) Derek (21 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

That is awesome. Could you put a vid of it in action. I love the style - it is functional, but equally stylish - the way you have arranged the cabling makes it look really something. I can really imagine that as a spider tank model looking rather (...) (21 years ago, 1-May-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) Hey! :) I don't think they sold a lot of those Civic SiR's. They were built in the UK and were very expensive ($30K, IIRC). Plus, the eighth generation Civic is due next year. Calum (21 years ago, 2-May-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
