    Yeah it's an ad but heck, it's relevant to this forum (or maybe community/general? I couldn't figure which).


    For those not following the Brazilian meme (this is kinda explaining the joke, but, meh):

    1 - Fiat Uno (pronounced oono, aka Uno Mille) have been among the least expensive cars to buy and maintain in Brazil, since their release in the 1980s, having become extremely popular in the 1990s. Because of that, they've become the car of choice for cable companies to equip their servicemen with.
    2 - Because the cable infrastructure in Brazil is almost entirely aerial (as in, stretched and hanging from pole to pole), these servicemen need their ladders, which go on top of the Uno, to work on the suspended cables
    3 - Given a huge amount of service calls to attend to, and a lack of concern for the Uno's well-being, cable company servicemen tend to rush and weave through traffic like madmen.
    4 - This has given rise to the myth (and internet meme) that equipping an Uno with a roof ladder will make it the fastest car in the planet.
    5 - Fiat's marketing team has exploited that idea in order to sell their new car (Cronos) which, meh, no one cares about. Cheap marketing ploy, but it did give us a video of actual racing roof ladder Unos, which is awesome.

    And just to keep in on-topic for the forum:
    6 - I'm fully in favor of Reiza including the "roof ladder" customization option for Copa Uno cars.
    7 - That looks like an interesting track. Can someone more knowledgeable than me recognize it?

    I'm pretty good at texturing, TGA, DDS whatever you need. Pretty familiar with ISI modding as well. Zero experience/ability with 3D Modelling though. If you'd like a hand I'd love to assist.

    Well I tried messing with it but can only seem to get it to show up on the 'Copa Classic' Uno. Don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't get it to work on the Uno F. I give up, if anyone wants to give it a whack I'll share my files just let me know.

    I know this is a dead topic, but I'm finally working on it, my friends! :)
    It will hopefully be released by the end of August for Automobilista 2. ;)

    It has been a long time ago since I posted, but I came to share some good news.
    I'm at the finishing touches on the said mod.
