Well I thought as Lantis is the name for a Japanesse car then I'd try www.lantis.co.jp
I'm even more lost than before, but it did let me enter...... Looking at it a little closer I think it's lucky I'm not a Victorian school teacher  ops:

interesting read, didn't get past the bit on the cars, cause it seems to waffle.
http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/lcl/re...aper_moore.pdf But suggests that Astina has no meaning, just sounds cool. Like Monaro, Celica and Carrera.

maybe your cars are called "astina.lantis etc" coz you ozzy's just like to be different (independant) to the rest of the world, where as the rest of the world calls them 323f's you call em astina coz it sound sweeter,
just like when you say wrack off, the rest of us say F**k off :lol: :lol: it's an upside down topsy turvey world eh?
