Yesterday, I received some DVDs I purchased some weeks ago. In the package there was the old TV series "I ragazzi della 3C", a funny italian fiction produced in the '80 by Mediaset for 3 years. This TV series tells the story of a group of classmates, enrolled in a Classical High School in Rome. The main characters are nine: Bruno (a fat and clamsy guy), Chicco (a guy flunked a lot of times), Massimo (a fit guy), Sharon (a goddess), Rossella and Daniele (the loving couple), Benedetta (a dark girl) and Elias and Tisini (the grind girls).
   The series is very enjoyable but it contains some strange things, compared with the current productions: in every episode, there is a commercial advertising of some products produced by the sponsors: some examples are Cornetto Algida, Twix, Raiders, etc... In particular, the greater sponsor was the Opel (General Motors), so one of the main characters, Chicco, droves (in the first season) a red Opel Corsa GSi and every time the director shot this car, there is an explicit promotion to Opel. I wish to put this car in my collection, but unfortunately, this model is not produced in 1:18 scale...
   However, this time I captured only few pictures of the car used in the first season (the Opel Corsa GSi) but in the next days, I will try to publish some pictures of the cars used in the next 2 seasons!!!

   A lot of people wrote me to obtain infos on the other cars used in the italian TV series "I ragazzi della 3C". So, I created some snapshots using the original DVDs and I added these new pictures on the previous gallery: now, you can watch the second car used by Chicco in the second season (an Opel Kadett GSi), the car used by Camillo Zampetti (an Opel Omega) and the motorbike used by Daniele (an Aprilia F1A 125; in the first season he droves a white Piaggio Vespa).
   If you have other questions, regarding this series, please don't hesitate to mail me!
