TAKING THE STAGE – POP RACE STAGEA’S GOT STAYING POWER
Have I come to that stage in my life where I have accepted the fact that I’m no longer that boy racer who can go around challenging other drivers to street race in between the traffic lights? Why? Well, I find myself more and more attracted to estates and station wagons. Of course, fast ones, I haven’t lost my mind completely. Been checking out a few ST models as well as a few turbos powered station wagons. And of course my real car life is often shadowed by my model car life. So right now, as inspiration I have these two parked on my desk and they are proving to be quite the distraction.

NISSAN Stagea is the sort of car NISSAN engineers with families wanted in their car park. Filled with wonder this was mid life street racer ride. POP Race has chosen to go with the version that carries the R34 Skyline face which looks way better that the Bluebird face that made it look frumpy (such is the curse of the bluebird) and of course the R34 face appeals to all the SKYLINE HARDCORE FAN BOYS that will buy anything with an R34 face on it.
The cars both roll remarkably well. So well in fact it caught me off guard sending one of them barrelling into an office appliance freaking me out, but no damage done. So far, the Bayside Blue and BRE Livery look smart and gorgeous. I think I know how I would want my station wagon decorated and I’m leaning towards a NISSAN, good job POP RACE on the inspiration. Solid details like side mirrors that are not made of rubber but also do not feel like they would come of easily and the rear spoiler feels nice and rigid but don’t mess with it with force because I did pull mine off (easily fixable)
One of the real treats is that POP RACE is now rolling out cars with opening parts and engines. These two are great examples of what’s to come from the design department that has made a great effort at dropping a sort of detailed engine complete with anti-roll bar into the front of these two gorgeous models.

Even better news, POP RACE will be continuing the line of stagea’s and the next one to be released is the stunning Yellow and Black Penzoil Livery version that looks stunning. I think we are going to be seeing a lot more awesome castings from POP RACE specially in the form of some beautiful STAGEA’s and I can’t wait.
