Ah yeah... lol I was just a kiddy, but I had to pay in my life saveings, my next PC was a 486SX. I do remember on my first PC I upgraded the video card's memory to a full megabyte, as the memory chips were literaly IC's that pluged into DIP sockets.

I also had one of the first generation Creative Labs CDROMs, the one with the removeable disk caddy.

If its of any use to you I'll clean it and shoot the letters individualy so we loose the paralax effect from the wideangle lense.

Kinda looks nice against a dark colour...

Here's a bigger one. It's nice a reflective, but I like it.

It's probably a well known font, not sure, but it makes my car look eighties, but not as eighties as that 'sting' decal. That is truly 386.

Gonna have to try tracing that one in AutoCAD too....

Yup, Alex, it's a SA import. Those are plastic covers painted white, as are the bumpers. It had a huge after market black sliding sunroof, which I removed, and an interior colour code named 'tutti frutti', which looks very sporty. So whoever bought it new in SA would have been a real 'dude' you know? Super eighties, super camp, permed hair, short shorts, loved Magnum PI sort of guy...come to think of it, thats just like me hahaha
However, compared to an Italian assembled 2 door MK 2 it's a lot sloppier to drive.

Haven't got the link here, but did anyone from NZ see that mint white 1108 1993 with 22000km for sale on Trademe in the South Island. Went for just over 2k, but damn, if i'd been awake, I would have had it.

I remember my mum buying a phillips 386 laptop that ran 3.1 for around the 6knz mark. That was a lot of money back then. All I can say is I think my dad still has the bag...

I still have my Atari STe!
