Bit different thought isn't it mate.
EVERYTHING bar a few panels were carbon. Silly power. When was this built? It looked quite old TBF.
-
so cos you've done it no-one else can?
-
It had some miles on it as it was stone chipped on slicks iirc.
Actually made it to a track by the looks of it.
-
horney has those windows too :grin:

No mate, point proven, this isn't stantons car. Your thinking of Stantons which was featured in PVW, this is not that car.
And you suck my D**K Wazzer, I was mainly referring to the fact that he copied stantons car, only reference to mine was a complete joke about having the same windows.
You always come out with such forthcoming comments!
Steve? Are you serious? The fact that 2 people on this thread alone thought it was stantons justifies what i was saying. Same colour, same arch pulls, same wheels, same exhaust style.
-
So? Seen a car he liked and copied, should be flattered.
-
See and i saw Stantons car in real life and i thought it was that... I like it because i like that sort of car :smiley: bit harsh copying someone 100% atleast put your own stamp on it
-
How do you know this was built before stantons?!!
As i said I was there today ant it looks to be quite an old and well used build!
-
you typed both references in the same sentence which to me and most normal people puts it in the same context, ie not a joke
Only comments I've ever said to you are re: your car and have been positive. If you're referring to comments I've made to others please enlighten me on what "forthcoming" comments I have made and what that statement actually means?
-
Sounds like we turning into the mk6 section :lipsrsealed:
-
Stantons was more, how should I put it, riveted :grin:
A lot of people molestering golfs lately, ah well they are cheap cars and easy to tune. Jake you know need to paint your car some outragous color so yours looks different :rolleyes:
Just pulling your leg mate
-
To you and most other people, come on wazzer you can stand this discussion on your own without needing others to back your opinion up?
I am simply making a a bit of banter on a forum about a car show that a car looks the same as another.
And now your making me out to be some pre-modonna where no one can do what i do? Get F****D trying to make me out to be some ass hole on here!
Taking ideas is something i don't agree with at all! I couldn't agree with tech more. Maybe i take this type of stuff more personally because i'm a designer, and i believe in the whole "original" route. Without "taking" others people ideas. I think there is a difference between taking someones idea and making it your own, and re-making something.
I just don't agree with it. If someone with a mk4 has some bbs lms and air ride, of course there are going to be others like it. Stanton's car is a complete custom build, with many different aspects to it. and this car is literally a replica.
I just find it heart wrenching, i am currently building my own project, and when it's finished i see someone else who has replicated the car i will be a little gutted, as projects like stantons are done to differentiate the car from anybody elses.
-
See what i loved about stanton's car was it was totally made in house and you could see that in the workmanship and it made the car what it was otherwise it wouldnt be special... copying it is just a waste of time in my eyes going to that extent for everyone to just think its someone elses car ??
-
Look it this way, if your "idea" is taken and replicated you must be doing something right.
P.S You still havent answered my question. What was made first? How old is stantons?
-
Jake, i dont know you personally but I really think you need to stop being such a c*ck and get over yourself! From what ive seen in your build thread and your posts you tend to ask people for constructive criticism and when you dont like what you hear you get on your high horse and throw all your toys out of the pram! If someone wants to 'copy' somebody else then let them, who says you make the laws of what can and cant be done?! Oh and just some constructive criticism for you, I dont like your car or what you have planned for it. Not something that will bother you cos you 'welcome all comments positive or not' right mate????! :wink: :rolleyes:
-
lmfao no worries mate!
It's ok, you have been really original with them rs8 wheels? I hear there quite a rare wheel aren't they?
That is actually one of the funniest comments i have ever heard since being a member on this forum.... why do you read my build thread if you don't like my car? Or do you not like my car that much you read it's feature in PVW?

I can totally see where you are coming from, but it will always happen - people will copy.
Especially If they see cars in magazines.
-
Plenty of people copy in many ways, for example *cough* bbs *cough*, personally I hate the dub scene, stretching tires and being so low that your car ends up in Australia. I like the performance aspect and will continue to do things slightly different, as different is not necessarily wrong, like sticking to a constant 50mm ID on the inlet side even though VW put pancake pipe in, with various diameter changed before the TB.
But people will always copy and if they do, nothing you can do about it, some people like to do there own thing, others will see something and be like... oh I like that, and will do the same thing, such as 16 year olds buy corsa's and put sh!te on.
Ah well, get a cold beer out bud!
-
Is that seriously your best repsonse? Difference is I'd rather have 50k worth of equity in my house than on four wheels. Each to their own. Whatever makes you happy! :grin: :wink:

I agree fully with this comment, if you build an original and good looking car people will always copy as they like what they see, some would call it being a 'victim of your own success'
-
why did we all go there today! insperation for our own? i know i did.. got some idea's wether they will come out or not who knows!!
as for the the car posted.. i thourght it was stanton's car! but its differnt from a car on a mag to a car irl ..
and i love jake's car.. cant wait to see where he is going with it!! :laugh:
mines differnt to every one's.. cause i got a sh!tty sticker coving up a flick of paint!! haha! suckerrrrrrs
haters guna hate! :evil:
-
maybe you could copy right your car so nobody can steal your ideas
or not take it to any shows and not put it in mags then no one will like what they see and copy anything
-
welcome to the world of v dubs where your ideas will never be your own grow up guys every one copies every one else and that will never change jake you should be pleased mate if someone is taking your ideas seems your their inspiration and cant be a bad thing dude
-

Anyway this is going to a level it weren't intended to go. Good banter is what it's a about, not some c*nt telling me about the equity he has in his house (you don't need to prove to me what you own mate, it's OK to be insecure :wink:
I totally agree that people will copy, just must have got to me more as I feel sorry for the guy who brought this originality. To be honest it's a lot like some of my mates who are in the music industry, when they make a track, it kills them when they hear someone else who has worked from theres. I suppose it's just hard to be originial these days !

When the mk4 is this age it takes alot to be original but if someone copied one of my ideas i would probably be raging at first but then have a quiet feeling of pride that people like my idea so much they want there car to look the same

If you have read my build thread like you said you have, you would see I have already owned a set.

jake keep up the good work mate :wink:

love how arguments reach 5 pages in no time at all :grin: :grin:
-
All the ideas I had for my Escort that was mag featured were from other cars. I asked the owners of the cars if I could use their car as inspiration and everyone was happy to let me carry on.
I short whatever direction you go with you should be happy with your choices and let others be happy with theirs. Life is too short to be arguing on the net.
and imitation is the best form of flattery :wink:
