I think the group of people constantly reminding everyone else about how immature they are is getting out of control too So many times it has been said if you don't like what has been said then don't read it. How can you know what has been said in the first place without reading it !? It's not as if any immature people care what other people think of them anyway
I like the comparisons anyway. However, I fail to see how the UF1 looks like a daihatsu trevis and is not an almost exact replica of an Austin Mini.
I think that it is because the UF1 has got more rounded shapes than the Basic Austin Mini.
But I am sure that Scawen, as a good englishman, was inspired by the Mini.
Now NoYP, I suggest you read the thread again and check who is calling who names. It's all light hearted conversation untill someone starts calling others idiots and retards. There is not one comment directed against RS1T untill he starts name calling. Yes there are a few sarcastic remarks but it's only to be expected if you don't use the search or check the manual.
Now I don't know which forums you other guys frequent, but I find it quite comfy in here. Of course, there are one or two overly grumpy people, but what they do is quite good: they scare away most retards after their first stupid posts in here. So if anybody in here thinks that the forum is overly hostile, there might be a slight chance that it's not the fault of the forum's community, but of what and how you post in here.
And to add to the topic:
I think the UFR somehow looks like a beefed up racing version of a mini. Cool, innit?
Actually, I have never seen such pics that shown a comparison between the cars IRL and the cars of LFS and it is quite useful because, in my very humble opinion, not anyone know what an Opel Astra Coupe (FXO base), looks like. At least, it was not my case untill I saw this thread. Please forgive me to have a life and not having time to spend a couple of hours per day trying to find the appropriate version of each RL car that has inspired LFS.
It seems that a lot of people (I would even risk to say : most of the people) here are whiners that love complaining all the time. If they do not complain about how slow the dev process is, they complain about other people's threads. I can understand this for the Improvement suggestion parts, where some suggestion are, let's guess, funky, but more and more the General Discussion forum is being polluted by people who don't find any new suggestion to b*tch.
Please also forgive the OP, who dedicated his time to the community by making some pictural comparisons between LFS cars and RL cars.
But wht shocks me the most is that people use the concept of sarcasm as a pretext to show how smart-arse they would love to be in real life, but simply don't have the guts to do it. Sad.
Also, why don't you guys complain about 3 different people that post 3 times a similar post ? You should tell them to use the search function to see whether they add something new and interesting to the thread, as you seem to excell in this
By the way, most of the posts in this thread share the same spec : their uselessness only has as a counterpart how unintersting their authors are.
Keep thinking you are cool guys You will live happier.
WTF? You know there's an inventions called search engines? The most famous of them, Google, has even one specially dedicated to search images... The cars are found, they even have a whole page in the LfS Wiki, so you already know their names! Now how hard would you think it is to just type their names into the search engine and how long will it take to give you 1 million pictures of exactly that car???
May I thank you to remind me what I already know. The OP never stated "Hey look how smart I am ! I found the comparison". I am really ashamed to not know what the FXO RL counter part looks like Maybe because I have, let's say, other things to do than look at Google Images ?
The OP summarized the comparisons in one post, which was very useful and let me saw what they looked like without having to type something on Google after checking its name on Lfswiki.
Before you get pissed, read my post entirely, smart-alleck
@March Hare, you are totally right, I don't approve the insults said by the OP. But you can't also disagree that extreme teasing can lead to extreme reactions due to frustration. I just wanted to point that if people where friendlier toward each other, there won't be such arguements and the whole mood will be better and friendlier
And nicely done for the "Right back at you". I did not address my post toward you especially, and especially less now, that you seem to understand my sarcasms
(However, the guy aboce you seem to fit perfectly my description. *sigh*)
Our definitions of extreme differ quite a lot. In my view the reaction to the OP was more on the lines of "meh". I believe that is the correct internet slang term.
Maybe that's the problem. Maybe he wanted everybody to be impressed of his work.
