dave_w11 - 10/5/06 at 12:05 AM

I'm trying my best but I'm terrible at these. Would have a hard time if the whole cars were pictured me thinks!

I'm so sad, but I love that sort of thing.

A couple were pretty tricky, and be careful with spelling!


dave_w11 - 10/5/06 at 12:16 AM

50/50 from memory?

I've got 27 so far using google only to check spellings. Might try google image search soon or I'll never get to sleep!


greggors84 - 10/5/06 at 12:54 AM

Im missing two, got the makes and im sure i know the cars but have tried every model i can think of, i reckon its a spelling thing.

EDIT: Just got 19

Well I guessed the manufacturer based on the colour. Not sure on the model yet


Marcus - 10/5/06 at 09:10 AM

I thought I typed the f word - must have spelled wrongly!
Model is now obvious

Ah, 50

GOT IT!.... Obviously I am not a chav or I would have had it straight away !!!! I was right in thinking I was looking for a girly shopping car though

[Edited on 10/5/06 by DaveFJ]


andylancaster3000 - 10/5/06 at 09:57 AM

oliwb - 10/5/06 at 11:06 AM

25/50 There's loads I can think of but either dunno how to spell or just can't remember the proper name! Oli.


TimC - 10/5/06 at 11:22 AM

[Edited on 10/5/06 by TimC]


locogeoff - 10/5/06 at 11:55 AM

Cannot get the model of 14 and 19, 15's a complete mystery as is 22

Geoff


DaveFJ - 10/5/06 at 12:01 PM

14, A bit spooky

19, AKA the Coxter - think of an island

15, Think Chav wagon

22, A gentlmanly pusuit.....


Liam - 10/5/06 at 12:24 PM

Well i got 42/50 on my own, eventually spelling murcielago right after about a million attempts.

That left 7, 15, 18 and 21. 7 and 21 been answered here. Why the hell isn't 15 what i think it is???!!!! And why the hell isn't anyone else stuck on 18??? I'm sure I can picture the whole car but why isn't it any of the makes i've tried?? help meeeeeeeee

Liam

Just got 18 - what a spanner!!

[Edited on 10/5/06 by Liam]


DaveFJ - 10/5/06 at 12:29 PM

surprised your stuck on 18 ... probably one of the best know classic cars of all time.... certainly one of the best looking....

as for 15 - well there are only really 2 chav wagons - and it aint a corsa - try the other one!!

[Edited on 10/5/06 by DaveFJ]

i was convinced number 5 was a dodge challenger! or some american car... it turned out to be an MK1 ESCORT!!!!

i would have never guessed if i hadnt been around this forum, never knew that car until i came here.


indykid - 10/5/06 at 03:42 PM

48/50, was stuck on 10. i've never really looked at the back quarter of one before, but the shut line makes sense.

it's fun.

Lightning - 10/5/06 at 07:34 PM

NigeEss - 10/5/06 at 09:38 PM

16 & 19, got the manufacturer, buggered if I can get the model. Same with the
roller, thought it was a Silver Ghost and I thought 7 was an MGB !

Hints
16: Miami Vice version
Roller: different type of ghost
7: was answered further up the thread. ugliest car porsche ever made (IMO )

19: couldn't find what it wanted either

No idea what 25 is myself, any hints?


Liam - 10/5/06 at 10:05 PM

25...

Probably only got it cos i have one in my GT4 garage.

Think back to just before Group B went mental. Those lovely square headlights... yellow fog lamps - must be european... this is the version with the engine in the correct place driving the correct wheels...

Liam


nige - 11/5/06 at 09:23 AM

took me two days but i got there in the
end
had to get a clue with 25
and E type , brain fade


iank - 11/5/06 at 09:45 AM

Thanks Liam, got it now


Alan B - 11/5/06 at 05:55 PM

Still strugglling with 25...any more clues?


Alan B - 11/5/06 at 06:09 PM

Ok got it now......50/50......


andyps - 12/5/06 at 01:01 PM

Up to 47 quite easily, but I can't figure a spelling - make of number 11. Also on a total mind blank for 9 - any clues?


DaveFJ - 12/5/06 at 01:04 PM

9 - the most unreliable car in the world - according to Jeremy Clarkson.....
