Ikaw ba 'to?

PROFILE OF TSIKOT OPV DESIGNERS/PROTOTYPISTS

1. You developed a keen interest in cars even as a child. You might have kept a small collection of Matchbox cars or assembled scale models. You even started drawing cars, cars, and more cars. Now that you're grown up, you still can't stop drawing cars, cars, and more cars.

2. You have a fascination for making things run. You are a tinkerer, and maybe even have a better-than-average understanding of what goes on "under the hood". You have gained a practical scientific knowledge of auto technology through many years of personally maintaining and repairing your car(s).

3. You grew up in or near an auto repair shop (or better still, a backyard fabrication shop for jeeps and AUVs). You inhaled the smell of oil and ended up licking grime as you first watched and then got your hands dirty helping out.

4. You have a passion for seeing and making things run. You don't have formal automotive or mechanical training, but because you thought you had accumulated enough knowledge through the years, you decided to design and build your own experimental car(s).

5. You took some formal training in a field that is somehow related to carmaking: e.g., Mechanical Engineering, Fine Arts / Architecture / Interior Design, Industrial Design, Computer Modelling / CAD-CAM, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing, etc.

6. Because of your insatiable fascination for automotive specifications, you have practically memorized the specs of over fifty vehicles - vintage or modern - and can perhaps even describe their histories.

7. You own a stable auto repair or maintenance shop or some fabrication facility that can churn out parts for cars, even improvised replacement parts.

8. You have many innovative ideas that you would have wanted to become real. You might even have actually tried to build some gadget that is related to carmaking. But you are a closet inventor, afraid someone might cast aspersions on your ideas.

8. You have an insatiable urge to see a new car that is designed by Filipinos, made by Filipinos for Filipinos (and perhaps even for other countries, pero bonus na yun kung sakali).

9. You are car news hog, always up-to-date with local and global car industry news, and have the latest industry stats at your fingertips, which you can rattle out almost instantly.

10. You know how to distinguish between fact and opinion, and are able to use the right words to express even very strong positions without detracting or insulting fellow Tsikoteers. You are a team player, not a prima donna.

If you fit No.10, plus one or several of the descriptions above, STOP LURKING AND START POSTING IN THIS FORUM! GET INVOLVED ALREADY. We're waiting for YOU. You are welcome to the stable. So what if viewers mock you as being an amateur wannabee? "Amateur" in French means "a lover of ..." In Spanish, "amador". In Greek, "philo" Don't worry. Everybody who's become 'somebody' in the world started out as a wannabee.

And then there's Number 11 ...

11. You have ended up working for a major carmaker, either by accident or because of your enthusiasm for cars and carmaking.

If you fall under No.11 (even if you qualify for Nos. 1-10), you do not have amateur status, and a conflict of interest advises against your direct involvement in design development in this Forum. Because we don't want you to lose your job, we advise you therefore to limit yourself to short constructive comments. You are still welcome to lurk.

very impressive...I really hope to meet some of you, if not all, one day.

I do fall under all of 1-10 at some point in my life...although I may not qualify for #11, I probably would for #12 or more likely #13 :D

Best of luck, and I sincerely hope to be working with some of you one day

Buti na lang you don't fit in #11, kasi kung "onse" ka, disqualified ka.
Just jump in when you're ready, trukr.
Hwag ka sanang mahihiya. Maraming namang 'langya dito, e.

Sure, jundogg. Mamili ka kung saan thread mo gustong magshare ng insights and knowledge mo. OR kung saan mo gustong magpost ng questions mo. Basta about design ng Original Pilipino Vehicle (OPV). Kung kaya mong mag-sketch, i-post mo rin yung drawings mo. Just don't forget to sign your drawings para malaman natin kung kaninong intellectual property yun. Game!

[Flagg]

Btw, bagay dito si sir AG4... nasaan kaya siya?

[foifoi05]

Btw, bagay dito si sir AG4... nasaan kaya siya?

very busy sa isang forum where i came from. I informed him and so far only posted one prototype sa phuv. I agree he should always be on this section, i remember we collaborated(actually he improved mine) on a ford fierra concept before, great photoshop skills.

You are all welcome!
As I said, you are free to post in this forum. Here are some tips:

If concept car styling is your trip, magtampisaw kayo sa concept car thread.

You are encouraged to intervene in any of the threads here, and add value and style directions to the discussions, provided you are within topic.

You are free to pair off or team-up to develop vehicles that have a real chance to hit not just pulp and paper but concrete and blacktop.

Keep in touch with Tsikoteers who have a feel of the market, and the gearheads who know what goes on under the hood and chassis.

If you are daring enough, get to know your fellow designers/artists by Private Messenger (PM).

Now, if you are afraid your intellectual property might be plagiarized by unscrupulous fabricators and pirates, then please make sure you properly identify the images you post. Maybe soon, we could request for a password-protected thread where your valued posts can be viewd only by selected thread regulars.

Among ourselves, we respect each other's skills, visual preferences, and opinions. Designers are generally sensitive people, so remember the Golden Rule when you have to comment or critique someone's post. Hindi bawal mag-criticize or to make corrections, as long as you say it nicely, or with clean humor, with colorful language perhaps, but never scathing. And your intention should always be TO HELP, not to put down.

From time to time, expect passers-by and newbies to throw monkey wrenches at your work. They do that mostly coz they are clueless about the nature and context of our Design Forum. Let it pass and just prove them wrong by doing better next time.

Keep in mind that this is an advocacy forum whose bias is to promote ORIGINAL PILIPINO VEHICLES (OPV), so try to factor in pinoy forms and themes -- Filipiniana -- whether in auto body designs or interiors.

8. Fan ako ng Conge Attesa... ganda din nun...

meron kang pic? na-feature itong mga pinoy-made fiberglass cars na to sa Loren Legarda noon. asan na kaya?

[Flagg]

OT: Sorry bos, wala e... I just used to see one of em running around. Matulin sya... urban legend has it na Cosworth makina nun... I tried to race it with my newly broken in GLXi... talo yung car ko... ehehehe... I really loved the looks, parang Lancia Stratos na nilagyan ng square headlights...

I also saw yung parang 4x4 na gawa nya once... pero car guy me e...

Balita ko mabilis lang naubusan na sya ng funding...

Urban legend uli has it na Mr. Conge gained his experience at Ford SVT... masyado exacting ang standards nya kaya di naging financially viable...
