    Re: How do I make my Suzuki Esteem look like a Jaguar XJS?

    This reminds of a really funny ad in Australian cinemas from a while back. A bored Indian lad turns a clapped out Hindustan Ambassador into a new model Peugeot 206 by smashing it, sitting on it with an elephant, panel beating and welding it into shape. And then he rocks it into town (complete with Bollywood techno music) with a bunch of mates sitting at the back, and the girls are eyeing him, etc. Totally cracked up.


    I found it! Here: http://jalopnik.com/cars/ad-watch/ad...206-238674.php

    OK, here's what you need to do. Type the following into the (centre)console:

    su
    <password>
    cd /usr/bin/jag
    ./configurecar
    make
    make xjs
    modifytyres -- avon
    modifyride -- stiffer
    modifyrideheight -- 100mm
    modifyengine -- 3.2L
    regno -- <existing car's reg no.>
    notifyla
    buildvehicle

    There you have it, a brand new(ish) Jag.

    When Suzuki send you the password, just open the terminal and type:



    I think Arnieboy will have a script for it in Automatix soon.

    Good luck!

I said it was okay, and he said that in India, the Suzuki Esteem was the ". . .car of the rich man." Only rich men owned Suzukis back in India.

    Can anyone from India confirm or deny this. or does anyone have a Jaguar theme I can put on this thing?!?!
    Hahahaha you sure he didn't just say that to make you feel a bit better cause you bought a Suzuki

    Wow, there are so many great posts I'd like to quote, but if I did, this post would be way too long!!

    @Prizak - With the proliferation of threads regarding how people want Ubuntu to look like another OS. . .you have to ask that??

    @mech7 - I only bought a Suzuki because my Ford Contour was sending out smoke signals to all the cars behind me, I didn't have a penny in my pocket, and the dealer allowed me to walk out without my Contour - with the Suzuki, and no money out of pocket. Also, I worked with the engineer from India for 4 years. . .if he has a talent for humor of ANY form. . .I never saw it.

    What I AM excited about, is that arnieboy may have a script for this in Automatix. I love that little utility.

    Otherwise, I'll take the idea of attaching my Suzuki logo plate to a Jag. There are more than one parked in the executive garage every morning.

    Did anyone here know that Jag makes a wagon!!! Whoa!! The soccer moms would all be WAY jealous when you bring your kids in that.
