- [23:08] RK4000: actually.
- [23:08] RK4000: i just remembered what i'm saving all that money for.
- [23:09] RK4000: a delta integrale, lololololololol.
- [23:09] RK4000: but for how much they're worth, i'm going to need A LOT more jobs.
- [23:09] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Lol
- [23:09] Apt Cult - Xheoh: How much?
- [23:10] RK4000: 20.000-25.000 € for a top notch one
- [23:10] RK4000: 10.000 - 15.000€ for an average one
- [23:10] RK4000: err
- [23:10] RK4000: for a good one
- [23:10] RK4000: 5.000-10.000 are average ones
- [23:10] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Lol
- [23:10] Apt Cult - Xheoh: How much do you have?
- [23:10] RK4000: ... 5k.
- [23:12] Apt Cult - Xheoh: GET AN AVERAGE ONE
- [23:12] RK4000: i'm probably going to spend some more getting it to rally specs then enter it in a rally for pre-1990 cars
- [23:12] RK4000: yea that's the thing
- [23:12] RK4000: i can't really rally-spec an average one
- [23:12] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Oic
- [23:12] RK4000: and yes, i will be able to do that because dad was a rally mechanic, so he knows these things.
- [23:12] RK4000: how do you think we got the thema up to 320 lol
- [23:12] RK4000: 320 HP*
- [23:13] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Turbos
- [23:13] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Loooots of turbos
- [23:13] RK4000: there's just 1.
- [23:13] RK4000: but it's two stage.
- [23:13] RK4000: so less turbo lag.
- [23:13] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Make it a Twin Turbo
- [23:13] RK4000: it's straight from a delta rally spec.
- [23:13] RK4000: dude there's no more room.
- [23:13] RK4000: we already had to fit extra cooling + the bigger turbo
- [23:14] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Oh
- [23:14] Apt Cult - Xheoh: How much did it cost, in total?
- [23:14] RK4000: 1k
- [23:14] RK4000: turbo + remapping
- [23:15] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Even the car
- [23:15] Apt Cult - Xheoh: ?
- [23:15] RK4000: no
- [23:15] RK4000: the turbo
- [23:15] RK4000: xD
- [23:15] RK4000: the car was a trade off
- [23:16] RK4000: we traded our S2 Thema 16v with a semi tuned engine for it
- [23:16] RK4000: this one is a S3
- [23:16] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Oic
- [23:16] RK4000: S3 Thema Turbo 16v
- [23:16] RK4000: the old one was naturally aspirated
- [23:17] RK4000: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ud2X4FAO-Q
- [23:17] RK4000: top gear even say that only a "good" one is 25k pounds
- [23:17] RK4000: POUNDS.
- [23:18] Apt Cult - Xheoh: xD
- [23:18] RK4000: that's like 28k euros.
- [23:18] RK4000: FOR A GOOD ONE.
- [23:18] RK4000: and like he says, he can't really blame it. it really is worth that much
- [23:18] RK4000: i've driven one, idk if i told you
- [23:18] Apt Cult - Xheoh: xD
- [23:19] Apt Cult - Xheoh: http://www.topgear.com/uk/lotus/elise/verdict
- [23:20] Apt Cult - Xheoh: £27k
- [23:20] Apt Cult - Xheoh: So 29-30k Euros
- [23:20] RK4000: an elise would be a pain to live with,.
- [23:21] Apt Cult - Xheoh: But look at it
- [23:21] Apt Cult - Xheoh: LOOK AT IT
- [23:21] RK4000: you already know i hate new cars' styling
- [23:22] Apt Cult - Xheoh: But
- [23:22] Apt Cult - Xheoh: D:
- [23:22] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Why?
- [23:22] RK4000: they all look too similar to eachother and too smooth
- [23:22] RK4000: too curvatious.
- [23:22] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Buy a Golf
- [23:22] RK4000: why?
- [23:23] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Even better
- [23:23] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Do you want comfort?
- [23:23] RK4000: new golfs are too curvatious.
- [23:23] RK4000: ALL new cars are too curvatious.
- [23:23] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Do you?
- [23:24] RK4000: no, i want a car that's both a 4 door car, that's comfortable, can take you and 3 other people on a journey of 600+ km on holidays and not tire you out, that can be a performance car, that is very practical, and that doesn't cost a fortune to run, and that looks good.
- [23:24] RK4000: in short, either a thema, a E30, or a 'grale.
- [23:25] RK4000: unless you don't count 0-100 (0-62) in 5 seconds "performance".
- [23:25] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Not supercar leauge, no
- [23:25] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Or even sports car leauge
- [23:25] Apt Cult - Xheoh: High end sports cars, that is
- [23:25] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Try this
- [23:25] Apt Cult - Xheoh: http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-chooser-launch
- [23:25] RK4000: no high end sports car can give you either of the other things i want though.
- [23:26] RK4000: fiat 500.
- [23:26] RK4000: HELL NO.
- [23:26] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Do you want to bet? :D
- [23:26] RK4000: wat?
- [23:26] RK4000: obv i'm not going to get a fiat 500.
- [23:26] Apt Cult - Xheoh: http://www.topgear.com/uk/porsche/911
- [23:26] Apt Cult - Xheoh: I don't need to go any further
- [23:26] RK4000: don't even start with 991's.
- [23:27] RK4000: overpriced stretched beetle.
- [23:27] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Oh I'm sorry, 4 door
- [23:27] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Panamera
- [23:27] RK4000: panamera is as ugly as fuak.
- [23:27] Apt Cult - Xheoh: GranTurismo
- [23:27] RK4000: plus, look at the damn cost.
- [23:27] RK4000: 63k for basically a beetle?
- [23:28] RK4000: you don't look at the whole picture
- [23:28] Apt Cult - Xheoh: It's not a beetle though
- [23:28] RK4000: you're basically only looking at track performance.
- [23:28] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Beetles are awful slow hideious things
- [23:28] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Not really XD
- [23:28] Apt Cult - Xheoh: It's fast
- [23:28] Apt Cult - Xheoh: It's comfortable
- [23:28] Apt Cult - Xheoh: It seats 4 in comfort
- [23:28] Apt Cult - Xheoh: It can go long distances without near killing you
- [23:28] Apt Cult - Xheoh: It looks excellent
- [23:28] Apt Cult - Xheoh: It has a large boot
- [23:28] RK4000: except you don't know any of that.
- [23:29] RK4000: it has a small as fuck boot.
- [23:29] Apt Cult - Xheoh: And it doesn't cost THAT much to run
- [23:29] RK4000: i've seen it.
- [23:29] RK4000: you don't know wether it's comfortable
- [23:29] RK4000: you don't know wether it can go long distances without killing you.
- [23:29] Apt Cult - Xheoh: The facility of a hatch, combined with the fact that those rear seats fold to a capacity of 1,250 litres
- [23:29] RK4000: plus, you probably won't ever get to own a 911 if you're a normal mortal with an average inteligence.
- [23:30] RK4000: and neither will i
- [23:30] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Ohohohoho
- [23:30] RK4000: so stop living in the clouds and drop down to earth
- [23:30] Apt Cult - Xheoh: We'll see about that
- [23:30] RK4000: let's see you get your beloved 911, i'll come over in person with my thema and congratulate you.
- [23:30] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Thanks :D
- [23:30] RK4000: can't you get that that won't happen xD
- [23:31] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Nope
- [23:31] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Because it will~
- [23:31] RK4000: then we can have a little test in real life, you can follow me to slovenia and see who's more near killed ;)
- [23:31] Apt Cult - Xheoh: xD
- [23:31] RK4000: with 3 mates with you, and a boot full of holiday stuff, both of us having to transport the same ammount of stuff.
- [23:32] RK4000: your 911 will nearly kill you and your 3 friends.
- [23:32] Apt Cult - Xheoh: In a 911 GT3 RS? no. :P In something else? Yes.
- [23:32] Apt Cult - Xheoh: That's the dream car
- [23:32] Apt Cult - Xheoh: GT3 RS
- [23:32] RK4000: even in a normal 911.
- [23:32] RK4000: lol, that's a track car
- [23:33] RK4000: living with it is impossible, even clarkson said that.
- [23:33] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Yes, so?
- [23:33] Apt Cult - Xheoh: I'm not planning to take it to the shops
- [23:33] Apt Cult - Xheoh: That's stupid
- [23:33] RK4000: you won't be able to afford anything else if you're going to buy that though
- [23:33] RK4000: like i said, you're not factoring in real life things
- [23:33] Apt Cult - Xheoh: If you can afford a 100k supercar you can afford other things too
- [23:34] RK4000: if you're going to be saving up till your 50 for a 100k supercar, you won't be able to enjoy it even
- [23:34] RK4000: plus, how in the hell do you plan on affording it,.
- [23:34] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Let me put it like this
- [23:34] Apt Cult - Xheoh: As soon as you make a penny
- [23:34] Apt Cult - Xheoh: You can make millions
- [23:35] RK4000: in a perfect world, yes.
- [23:35] RK4000: however, what you don't get, is that the real world is a lot less perfect and a lot less unfair.
- [23:35] RK4000: err
- [23:35] RK4000: less fair*
- [23:36] Apt Cult - Xheoh: xD
- [23:36] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Yes, I get that
- [23:36] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Not everyone can have what they want
- [23:36] Apt Cult - Xheoh: But I'm going to have what I want because I've earned it
- [23:36] Apt Cult - Xheoh: If that makes sense
- [23:36] RK4000: at least i'm not living up in the clouds and went for a car that's not worth much, and that can do everything.
- [23:36] RK4000: no, it doesn't, because on that principle i could afford a fricken Bugatti.
- [23:37] RK4000: you don't earn something by just existing.
- [23:37] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Obviously not
- [23:37] Apt Cult - Xheoh: I'm going to earn my money
- [23:37] Apt Cult - Xheoh: And use it to buy my car
- [23:37] RK4000: and how do you play to earn enough.
- [23:37] RK4000: that's what you don't get.
- [23:37] Apt Cult - Xheoh: My money, I earned it, and I'm going to enjoy it
- [23:38] RK4000: you'll be lucky to afford a focus 2 by the time you're 20 with nowaday's average taxes and costs of things.
- [23:38] Apt Cult - Xheoh: At the moment I don't
- [23:38] Apt Cult - Xheoh: I can't drive for another two years XD
- [23:38] RK4000: you can enjoy the money you earn, by all means.
- [23:38] RK4000: what you don't get, is that you're living up in the clouds with how much you think you're going to earn
- [23:38] RK4000: take what you're thinking, and halve it. twice.
- [23:39] Apt Cult - Xheoh: So 3/4 it?
- [23:39] RK4000: that's how much you're actually going to earn, because there's taxes, the daily neccesities, and, basically, everything else. you'll be happy if you can afford a second hand focus from 2004.
- [23:39] RK4000: 1/4th of what you're thinking.
- [23:39] RK4000: i'm not saying you won't be able to enjoy what you earn
- [23:39] RK4000: not at all
- [23:39] RK4000: by all means, do.
- [23:39] Apt Cult - Xheoh: That could be a lot of money
- [23:39] Apt Cult - Xheoh: XD
- [23:39] RK4000: you're just not going to earn nearly enough, because you're living up in the clouds.
- [23:40] RK4000: unless you want to get some epic education.
- [23:40] RK4000: what profession do you even want to go for?
- [23:40] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Schools teach what they think you should know
- [23:40] RK4000: you have to factor in the fact that getting a job is in itself a feat in today's times.
- [23:40] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Not what you want to know
- [23:40] Apt Cult - Xheoh: I'm not going for a profession
- [23:40] RK4000: ... what the fuck?
- [23:40] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Not an average one
- [23:40] RK4000: how do you plan on getting a job then?
- [23:40] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Like an accountant
- [23:40] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Or a doctor
- [23:40] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Or a teacher
- [23:41] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Not going for a job...
- [23:41] RK4000: how are you going to make money then?
- [23:41] RK4000: no job = no money.
- [23:41] Apt Cult - Xheoh: I'm a photographer.
- [23:41] Apt Cult - Xheoh: I take photos.
- [23:41] Apt Cult - Xheoh: People like them
- [23:41] Apt Cult - Xheoh: I sell them
- [23:41] Apt Cult - Xheoh: People buy them
- [23:41] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Kaching
- [23:41] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Now no
- [23:41] Apt Cult - Xheoh: It wull not be 600 million in the first week
- [23:41] RK4000: and you think you're going to make enough money from photographs to last you your entire life AND afford a 911 GT3 RS?
- [23:42] RK4000: you're not even going to make enough to pay half of what you'll have to to even fricken exist in the community
- [23:42] RK4000: it might seem easy atm when parents are the ones buying you food, transportation, clothes, when they're paying the living taxes, warm water, electricity, etc.
- [23:42] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Just to give you an example of what some things sell for
- [23:43] RK4000: when you're going to have to pay for all that yourself, photographs aren't going to last you at all.
- [23:43] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Hand made things. In this case something 'hand-made' can be as simple as sticking a photograph onto a piece of wood and calling it a frame
- [23:43] Apt Cult - Xheoh: This was handmade by someone
- [23:43] Apt Cult - Xheoh: They're selling it for $100k
- [23:43] Apt Cult - Xheoh: http://www.etsy.com/listing/83765373/vintage-inspired-wedding-dress-crystal?ref=sr_gallery_5&ga_search_query=Dress&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_order=price_desc&ga_page=0&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=Dress
- [23:44] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Stuff like that sells
- [23:44] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Because it's hand made
- [23:44] Apt Cult - Xheoh: It's exclusive
- [23:44] Apt Cult - Xheoh: I stand corrected
- [23:44] Apt Cult - Xheoh: 247k
- [23:44] RK4000: do you really think it's that simple?
- [23:44] RK4000: i pity you.
- [23:44] RK4000: i seriously do.
- [23:44] Apt Cult - Xheoh: No
- [23:44] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Of course it isn't
- [23:45] Apt Cult - Xheoh: No photographer has actually experimented or expanded
- [23:45] Apt Cult - Xheoh: It's just
- [23:45] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Take picture
- [23:45] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Put it up
- [23:45] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Take picture
- [23:45] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Put it up
- [23:45] RK4000: and what do you plan on doing?
- [23:45] Apt Cult - Xheoh: No-one as far as I know has tried putting their own photos on cups and selling those
- [23:45] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Or onto T-shirts, mousemats, etc etc
- [23:45] RK4000: dude, even if you were as well known as this guy and selling stuff like this, you won't make NEARLY enough money to last you.
- [23:45] Apt Cult - Xheoh: They focus on prints and nothing else
- [23:46] RK4000: and you think that's going to last you?
- [23:46] RK4000: and that's been done... like... everywhere.
- [23:46] RK4000: people do that lol
- [23:46] RK4000: you think you're really the first one that thought about that?
- [23:46] Apt Cult - Xheoh: And because no-one is doing anything like that (At the current time) the doors are wide open
- [23:46] RK4000: and how much do you think you're going to sell of said-things?
- [23:46] Apt Cult - Xheoh: You have a following on one place, show them another place and they'll go
- [23:46] RK4000: not nearly enough, my friend.
- [23:47] Apt Cult - Xheoh: I have no idea. :P At the moment it's all speculation.
- [23:47] Apt Cult - Xheoh: I accept that
- [23:47] Apt Cult - Xheoh: I also accept that it could fall flat on its face
- [23:47] Apt Cult - Xheoh: THen I'll try something else
- [23:47] RK4000: which, knowing today's cruel world, it will.
- [23:47] RK4000: by the time you'll find something that actually makes as much money as an average job, you'll be 40, having wasted everything.
- [23:47] Apt Cult - Xheoh: I'm waiting on payment for taking photos of freaking fudge for friends of the parents
- [23:48] RK4000: and how much is that?
- [23:48] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Which are being used on the stalls, the website, etc etc
- [23:48] RK4000: how much are you selling it for.
- [23:48] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Nono. I'm not selling it to them :P
- [23:48] Apt Cult - Xheoh: I gave them the photos
- [23:48] Apt Cult - Xheoh: They pay me based on what they use
- [23:48] Apt Cult - Xheoh: As it turns out, is a lot
- [23:48] RK4000: how much are you selling your photos for.
- [23:48] RK4000: what is a lot.
- [23:48] RK4000: GIVE ME NUMBERS.
- [23:49] Apt Cult - Xheoh: XD
- [23:49] RK4000: i'm being serious here.
- [23:49] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Sorting out a fulfilment company to print the things
- [23:49] RK4000: you're trying to go down a path that won't really bring you much, except disappointment and failiure.
- [23:49] RK4000: now i say again.
- [23:49] Apt Cult - Xheoh: And of course
- [23:49] RK4000: how much are you selling photos for.
- [23:49] RK4000: numbers.
- [23:49] RK4000: no emoticons.
- [23:49] RK4000: numbers.
- [23:50] Apt Cult - Xheoh: It hasn't been set yet.
- [23:50] Apt Cult - Xheoh: As soon as I get the fulfiment and shipping in order
- [23:50] Apt Cult - Xheoh: I'll get back to you
- [23:52] RK4000: if you're not making at least 1k a month, you're fucked.
- [23:52] RK4000: and that's steady income.
- [23:52] RK4000: ONLY TO LIVE PROPERLY you need about 1.5-1.8k (pounds) of income a month.
- [23:52] Apt Cult - Xheoh: I'm not the only one trying to earn money. Two other people are working their asses off too :P
- [23:53] Apt Cult - Xheoh: We need roughly £35 a day
- [23:53] RK4000: and what's that supposed to mean?
- [23:53] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Something like that
- [23:53] Apt Cult - Xheoh: To live comfortably
- [23:53] Apt Cult - Xheoh: Including food and clothes and everything
- [23:53] Apt Cult - Xheoh: It means I'm not the only thing in the equation.
- [23:53] Apt Cult - Xheoh: I may need 1k a month
- [23:53] Apt Cult - Xheoh: By myself
- [23:53] Apt Cult - Xheoh: But I'm not by myself
- [23:53] RK4000: you poor misguided person.
- [23:53] RK4000: i really do feel sorry for you.
- [23:54] RK4000: real life is going to hit you in the face SO HARD when you face it, i just feel sorry for you right here and right now
- [23:54] RK4000: end of discussion, i must go.
- [23:54] RK4000: afk.
