The Thread About Ponies, Logistics and General Weirdness (And Gilda)TV

[Brando-K]

Funny, a 2-door SUV from the US made worldwide news a couple of years ago.

I'm too young to remember that.

Besides that's just a ute with a canopy.

I know it isn't... It sure looks like one though.

I should probably go and do some stuff now. Talk to you bronies later.

Thanks gravekeeper, just realized you said what it was.

Well, weren't ALL (or nearly all) early body-on-frame SUVs basically that? Pick-up trucks with a hastily-added box on the bed?

 

[Jim Prower]

The Bronco kind of was...in fact, that box was removable. Early broncos were kind of jeeplike, though, and then the '79 came out...

uh, what does this have to do with ponies?

 

[Minty]

The 02 2 door Blazer is extremely average. The interior quality is cheap...adequate, but cheap, but it is a cheap car.

And I got it free(more on that later), so no complaints here.

It's got some surprising bite in that V6. Not really quick, but it's quicker than it looks. And it's damn near indestructible.

Hello everyone, tons of emergencies to cover.


Doesn't matter, have some shipping:

I'm really interested to see how that happened(I'm also eager to see if it has something to do with the ballad).


Cuteness(with Celestia that term is very debatable):

And I really like this artist:

I know JJ is one of the bests out there, but there is something about this guy's style that it makes the images more apealing, not sure what it is.



(*Goes back to MRI, and is nice to see you around Gravekeeper (almost forgot)*)

 

[Brando-K]

This needs to be here.

There's a perfectly explainable explanation.
It relates to ponies...

Now to start doin' stuff...

 

[Tornado]

So I missed a page...

I'd double post Celly but that would be spam...


Hell, I'll do it anyway.

Pretty sure that is from the TrixieJack I talked about like a million pages ago that I keep saying I'll get back to but haven't yet.

A Challenger? Ha. I only drive real performance cars:

 

[Epic B]

Talk about off topic. Anyways, yay! Pony time.

 

[Sniffs]

Brando, you know dang well that the ONLY ones we had that that qualifies as a UTE by the OZ definition in the US that didn't fail were the El Camino and Ranchero. there's a couple Studebakers that might qualify, though.

Prower: forgot the 60's Bronco, Blazer and International Scout, did we? and i think it was on the 77's that the Ford Bronco switched to the F series platform.

car guys that didn't do all the research...i think I've seen EVERYTHING!

*pic of a guy in a Kilt pulling a Maralyn Monroe*
oh, I dunno, that might shame you STRAIGHT guys, but my first partner was from Paisley.

I'd like to see that thing negotiate one of Britain's many B Roads.

Pretty sure that is from the TrixieJack I talked about like a million pages ago that I keep saying I'll get back to but haven't yet.

That's what I immediately thought when I saw it, plus it was drawn by the author of Great and Powerful. That story hasn't updated in months though.

The only Utes I've ever come across in the UK (or anything like an ute for that matter), are the Ford P100 and Subaru 284 (BRAT). Niether of them are what you would call great to be honest.

This will be exploited, without a shadow of a doubt.

 

[Tornado]

Now he's just being mean about it.

 

[Akira AC]

^^ It has so much potential.


Apart from that, there is something not right about this:

Not sure what it is.


Also, Pinkie pie I believe in you:

And of course 88350 needs a humanized version, stat.



(*Goes back to ponibooru*)

 

[Wiegert]

So did that Ask Molestia update from yesterday, and look how many times that has been exploited already:

This needs to be a wallpaper. Now!

Watched Call of the Cutie again. It was funny when Scootaloo was about to eat the cupcake, but was stopped by Apple Bloom. "Not the cupcakes."

 

[Jim Prower]

So, I spent most of the night discussing MLP Story-RPs with a friend on MSN. He wants to do warfic RP, I kind of want to try the societal change angle. I may update here when I get more details hammered out. Perhaps invite to join in. :3

I also bought premium for life and a vintage Tamiya Frog...and didn't break $100 for the whole lot.

 

[Minty]

Anybody want to guess what I just spent the last hour doing?

EDIT: 🤬 Hold on. I forgot something.
EDIT: Fixed it. Still waiting for at least 1 guess.

 

[Wiegert]

Uh, that's considered a 'small' vehicle here.

Our definition of a "small" vehicle is a little bit different here. Small Hatchbacks and Superminis rule the roads of Britain. Range Rovers, Audi Q7s and Porsche Cayennes are among the largest cars we have over here, although we do have a small number of American imports in the UK.

Anybody want to guess what I just spent the last hour doing?

I'll take a stab in the dark and say you've been making an avatar of some sort, am I right?

Living in Australia mean we call anything with a tray a ute. Yes even your ungodly huge American trucks.
As far as I'm concerned they aren't cars, cars don't have trays.

Not playing Skyrim?
Getting glasses because your eyes are burning after entering your 50th cave hunting whatever it is you hunt in Skyrim?
Am I close?

Our small cars are Nissan Micras and Suzuki Altos. Most people in the city drive them.
Because of companies changing car park sizes, a large car is now the Falcon or Commodore (Very small compared to American trucks)

 

[Minty]

It isn't Skyrim, despite how difficult that is to believe, and it's not an avatar, although it does involve and image editor.

I might eventually make it into an avatar though.




Oh, and the Blazer isn't what I'd call small, but it's not exactly big. It more than makes up for it with it's magical turning radius. I sometimes worry the thing will turn inside out if I turn the wheel too far.

 

[Tornado]

That is excellent.

You aren't that far off.

New phone wallpaper.



Whoever is making these needs to work on the edges much more, and they need to choose colors a bit better.

I mean that's just sloppy. I can understand rough edges around the colors, I usually have the same problem, but what's with the black around the stripes that shouldn't even be there?

 

[Brando-K]

^Surely that's a joke.

 

[Wiegert]

Terrible edit is terrible, and those eyes don't suit Derpy whatsoever.

Our small cars are Nissan Micras and Suzuki Altos. Most people in the city drive them.

We have a large number of TPCA cars on our roads (Aygo, 107 and C1 Superminis). Micras and Altos are common as well, but they aren't quite as compact as those TPCA vehicles, plus they are surprisingly roomy inside.

That is excellent.

Celly's grin in the last frame... I've seen it somewhere before. I just need to figure out where though.

 

[Minty]

+ 1 hour x GIMP =

Darker colors to signify the wet.
Removed most of the jaggies.
Threw left eye out of focus for added depth.
Fixed cutie mark.

 

[Brando-K]

^Looks good Mint, however shouldn't her whole body be blurred as it's all 'behind' her face?

I love how in Pokemon games what always go, "what's happening?" when a pokemon evolves.

 

[Tornado]

Suddenly, story updates. Story updates everywhere. Confessions, Shipping and Handling and Caramel's Light.

And Fillystata if I ever get around to continuing it.

+ 1 hour x GIMP =

I don't want to sound mean, but outside of the cutie mark that doesn't really seem any better. You would have been better off working from the original Rarity image instead.

 

[Minty]

^Looks good Mint, however shouldn't her whole body be blurred then?

I thought I did that, I didn't notice it until I made that post. I'm fixing it now.

I don't want to sound mean, but outside of the cutie mark that doesn't really seem any better. You would have been better off working from the original Rarity image instead.

I thought better, but still not very good. I'm considering working from the original tomorrow when I've got time.


And if I'm going to be doing that, I might as well just leave it as is until then. So there's no reason to fix the focus tonight.
