People who have "no fat chicks or car will scrape" , "lower than your grand nips" and all similar stickers on standard ride height cars.
A bora past me the other day suspension was 4x4 esque and had a "no fat chicks or car will scrape" sticker

Don't like these stickers normally let alone when they're on standard height cars

What about the Bruce Forsyth pic, 'You were right to go lower!'

Make me chuckle everytime I see it  :tongue:

Are they? Install smf2 and get it to look exactly like the old forum then :afro:

Yes they are. I think we are missing the point. Why does a back end update require a front end update?

I know in smf2 they have obviously done both. e.g why does windows need to have new look everytime they try to fix the back???

If they spent more time fixing the back no one would really care if they didnt change the front.

when they're improving the back end they usually rewrite how the front end is put together, to boost performance / load times, this often means old themes are no longer compatible without a complete rewrite.

Why does Windows need to have a new look and feel every new release? (~3years) Because people would get bored, can you imagine using XP's theme as the primary look and feel on a 20+ inch monitor? XP is 11 years old now and it looks it imo again it was rewrote in the name of performance, Windows 8 again (in Desktop mode) has lost the Aero theme for performance gains - which makes it quicker than Windows 7 overall :afro:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Surely that's a bit like saying we'll re-design the chassis of the car but give it the same looks?  If that was the case we'd still all be driving MK1's albeit with a new chassis.  The cost of re-designing / engineering the exterior to make it fit becomes too costly  :undecided:



Anyhoo - people who drive around with broken headlights / tail lights; especially those who then use their full beam to compensate for their lack of dipped lights and have one of the full beam lights inoperative too  :angry:

Also road users who don't indicate on the motorway or cut in too close to your car while over taking, especially in the rain when it bombards your car with spray. Some people have very little common sense.

+1  and those who don't have at least sidelights on so you can pick them out in the spray too
