i think foulz is the right name for it

everything that could be done to it has been done to it... looks like a swiss army knife/fto

Yup, confirmed FTOA member in Adelaide owns this car (Tania). Havent seen her for a while, but I'm sure she is still around. Came on a cruise with us to Mannum.

Car is not my personal taste (and not a fan of VS kits), a bit over the top, but I'm not really into show cars anyway. Has had a lot done to it cosmetically for sure, and I suppose the only important thing is that the new owner is happy with what she has. Hope to see it again on future cruises.

Had a few changes since its show days by the looks. Graphics down the side are gone, and the indicators on the front have been "altered"

I'd like to know what everyone thought was the best FTO... but I guess you'd have to have seperate categories (:

Those indicators were on the car when it was in hot 4's in 2004.

Funnily I was leafing thru a car mag while I was having my new tyres fitted and came across the article on this car...

I know the guy who owns the place, mentioned the article and he said to keep the mag.

I'll bring it along Sat night if you wanna look...

simple but effective, some things obviously catch my attention, like why the f*** would someone put such a crap gaming console in a car
*stares lovingly at his game cube*

*hovers cursor over ban button*

personal preference.

it was one of those one hit wonder consoles, like the old dreamcast (remember that

)

yep - he (FOULZ aka Matt) went to a little Cappucino, although I believe that went as well and cant remember what he got after that....... he originally sold the FTO several years back to someone in Newcastle - can't believe it ended up down in good old SA

The pics do not do the colour that it was any justice though......

What are the legalities of scanning the article and putting in the gallery or download section? Might have to dust off my scanner.

Thats not a bad idea... have we got a copy of the Vic appearance as well? Pretty sure Toni had it...

TCGPX · Post by **TCGPX** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 12:17 pm

If it's legal, I'm quite happy to scan the article and upload it...

dreamcast wasnt a one hit wonder console! its just everyone thought the other consoles were better...dreamcast was the end of the line of a lot of Sega consoles

Your dead right the Master system rocked. Sega just spent so much time on games they forgot that the technology was quickly passing them. Thats the problem with the MAJORITY of games now they F&*Ken lack substance. But the graphics are un real. Ever play a game then the sequal comes out and its worse than the original......ALL the time, why? cause 10-15 yrs ago it was all about creating the best game eva now its all about creating the most money.....

if you want a NO HIT wonder... try looking up the Neo Geo system
was arcade perfect and priced through the roof.... crashed & burned BIG TIME

Yeh little bit over the top but you gotta be for a show car. You wont get looks if you arent.

Like the colour not a fan of the interior though
