Re: why not call em NOS tanks?
I agree with ProSStreet
IMHO ALL the F&F/2F2F import cars are/were ugly pieces of crap (movie and real life). That's just me though.

Re: why not call em NOS tanks?
i think we should just stick to the term that we are comfortable with and leave it at that. I like NOS

Re: why not call em NOS tanks?
Well, someone shoulda told Aoshima, because they put "NOS" on the side of the box as a feature for the new SPOCOM kits.

Not posted for a while but thought this was one I would stick my two penneth into.
Does it realy matter if a word is used not in quite its proper sense, anyone that knows a little about cars will probably know what you mean by NOS, same as when you talk to people about this hobby, if you say you make models by Tamiya or Fujimi then they look at you blankly, but if you say models by Airfix then they know exactly what you mean and we all know Airfix haven't turned out many decent kits for ages. Language on the whole is a strange animal to begin with after all there is English English and American English, even now after 43 years i've no idea why there are two there/their 's and why is there a 'u' in colour? Personally i've never used a 'kleenex' ive always used tissues, its all a case of what your used to. |

So am i allowed to say i have a NOS system in one of my cars if i put the Nos systems branded bottles and decals from the fnf supra into a car.
In the end we all know exactly what we are talking about, nos is just a quicker way of saying it. I blame the chat rooms myself, all this short hand crap like "l8r" instead of "later" its rotting the brains of our youth. the funniest instance of that was in "The Times" (british paper) it was an article about a exam paper for an english literature exam handed in by a 14 year old girl. nearly the entire paper was written in "chat room shorthand". she aparently was a chatroom fanatic spending 6 hours a night on them. also she was using mobile phone SMS text messages all the time too. It required a team of english teachers hours to "decypher" the whole paper to see what she had written, i only wish i had kept it so i could type an exert of it. all in all i am remembering an old member of this forum who would constantly be going on at people for spelling and grammar, he got serverely annoying (altho his models were good) and he subsiquently left. so how about we stop bickering about the use of english language and just get on with building models |
