New Game: What's the car?

[la panique]

Here's how it works, I ofund this idea on another automotive message board.

Starting off, I will post a picture of a car, than the task is to guess what the car is. Once the answer is confirmed, the person who guessed it right will than post a car picture, and the process will repeat.

So...here it goes!

1.

Hint for players: change the name of your picture file before posting :wink:

[staticorex]

Ha.

[YarisTom73]

Dunno the name, but is it solar powered?

[staticorex]

No. It's powered by sheer ugly. :p

[kurokoma-kun]

Is it a vauxhall srv?

[la panique]

Okay, we have to start over since someone didn't read the rules. :P

Here's another one, and remember, don't post another car until the original poster confirms your response.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

sorry Thomas, it's not. mwhahahaha.

[eTiMaGo]

sorry Thomas, it's not. mwhahahaha.

Sure about that? It even says "Daytona" right on the fender :tongue:

Or I may have the name wrong :iono:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

looks can be deceiving. here's another pic of the car of the same kind.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b320/echo_hrs2/whatcar.jpg

Cheers

is that an older Lancer?

[BluYrs]

is that an older Lancer?

Nope, that's a Lada 110 with a body kit.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

okay, never heard of that before.

[kurokoma-kun]

looks can be deceiving. here's another pic of the car of the same kind.

A Ford GT-40? The red one looks right, but production models don't have those twin side pipes...

[Kaotic Lazagna]

sorry, KK, it's not a GT40. heh.

i'm not kidding you guys either. that blue one is not a Daytona either.

[kurokoma-kun]

sorry, KK, it's not a GT40. heh.

i'm not kidding you guys either. that blue one is not a Daytona either.

You bastard! It's a Factory Five Type 65 coupe, which is a REPRODUCTION OF THE DAYTONA!

and the red one is a dayam different car, though also from factory five.

[SailDesign]

KL,thing is like, so much a Shelby Cobra Daytona that it ain't funny

etimago FTW

[SailDesign]

So, are replicas allowed here? kinda defeats the purpose.....

[kurokoma-kun]

Do I win? I got one that'll knock yer sox off

[Kaotic Lazagna]

ding, ding, KK you got the Type 65. however, that red one is not so much a replica.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

here's another one...

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i think all of us know this one

[50MPGDream]

one more for you guys.

i spy a factory five GTM

[Kaotic Lazagna]

you guys are good, 50MPG, you got it.

[50MPGDream]

i've been following the development of that car for a few years (I still say that the second pre production body was the best looking one)

[kurokoma-kun]

Ok here's mine. Is a sexy beast no? It's stock, no kit, no replica. Get to guessin!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

reminds me of a Celica & Skyline (body), a Benz (front head light), and a Ferrari (exhaust). this one's a toughy.

[eTiMaGo]

i think all of us know this one

hhehehe Jay Leno's tank Car, that thing is craaaaaazy...

Ok here's mine. Is a sexy beast no? It's stock, no kit, no replica. Get to guessin!

Hmmm I may be wrong, but I'm thinking a rare 80's Maserati?

[la panique]

Ok here's mine. Is a sexy beast no? It's stock, no kit, no replica. Get to guessin!

DeTomaso Longchamp? :smoking:
How did you ever dig that one up?

http://web.mac.com/kirbyschrader/longchamp/lcfixed/lcrr.jpg

[la panique]

here's another one...

The bastard son of an XJ220 and a Italdesign Nasca? :iono:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hhehehe Jay Leno's tank Car, that thing is craaaaaazy...


hahaha. right with that.

what about this one, guys?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

The bastard son of an XJ220 and a Italdesign Nasca? :iono:

hahaha. yeah, i can see where you're headed, but it's neither one of those.

[sam07yaris]

here's another one...


koenneggsiegg

[kurokoma-kun]

DeTomaso Longchamp? :smoking:
How did you ever dig that one up?


You are correct! :thumbup:

I'll let someone else take a turn

[Kaotic Lazagna]

koenneggsiegg

haha, nope. i really don't think this was a common car. i think it's one of those super rare cars (shoot, i wouldn't buy it, don't like the look). but i would say that you are the closest with the naming of the three guess. Koenegsiegg, Jaguar XJ220, Italdesign Nasca

[fat like reflexes]

the red one is a supercar designed by a czech company called tatra, who no longer makes cars, unfortunately. i'm guessing it's the only supercar ever designed behind the iron curtain. ever wonder where ferdinand porsche got the inspiration for the beetle - basic transportation in an odd-looking but aerodynamic body, powered by a rear-mounted, air-cooled, small displacement flat-4? yes, tatra did this before the kdf wagen: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/68/Tatra-t97-small.JPG/250px-Tatra-t97-small.JPG

[Kaotic Lazagna]

yes, you are correct.

[eTiMaGo]

OK, here's one pretty rare one...

[kurokoma-kun]

A Venturi Atlantique?

[eTiMaGo]

wow well done :smile:

It was quite a nice sight, love those cars, pretty much the only French supercar :biggrin:

[kurokoma-kun]

YAY! i like this game

hopefully this one is not too hard...

http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc233/mojojojo2323/guessagin.jpg

[eTiMaGo]

If you weren't a girl I'd slap you :biggrin: where's the challenge?

old skool Nissan Skyline (or was it still Datsun back then?)

[kurokoma-kun]

slap away biotch! :laugh::laugh::laugh: correct on the skyline, but it's a PRINCE!

your turn again i guess?

[eTiMaGo]

hmm I've never been called that... :laugh:

[kurokoma-kun]

no offense meant :wub:

but the slapping thing.... so girlee :rolleyes:

[kurokoma-kun]

Can I try again?

http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc233/mojojojo2323/guesswot.jpg

[alhope34]

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c63/alhope34/car1.jpg

[alhope34]

Another one.

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c63/alhope34/car2.jpg

[kurokoma-kun]

Alhope, first one is porsche 356?

[YarisTom73]

"In walks the lady we all know..."
Porsche speedster, 356 I think?!

[alhope34]

THERE walks a lady we all know...

And yes, you are both correct. Well, it isn't a speedster. Just the normal 356 1600cc. Second car will be harder.



who shines white light and wants to show
how everything still turns to gold
where all are one and one is all, yea
to be a rock and not to roll

and she's buying a stairway to heaven


Man, I love that song.

[kurokoma-kun]

And yes, you are both correct. Well, it isn't a speedster. Just the normal 356 1600cc. Second car will be harder.


saturn curve concept?

In high school i wore out my older sister's vinyl record of Led Zeppelin IV :headbang:

[alhope34]

Haha, you got it. I thought being a Saturn not many people would get it =P. I'll have to dig up something else..

[kurokoma-kun]

Haha, you got it. I thought being a Saturn not many people would get it =P. I'll have to dig up something else..

I got lucky, even better at identifying logos than cars. Can't wait to see what you dig up... :evil:

[alhope34]

Alright, here's one for you =D


http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c63/alhope34/car3.jpg

[kurokoma-kun]

oh... dayam... :iono:

[SailDesign]

Lancia Flaminia (or Flavia?), and the "first" first one was a Jensen FF, btw.

[kurokoma-kun]

the "first" first one was a Jensen FF, btw.

Oooooo! yes <golf clap> you guys are too good :biggrin:

[SailDesign]

Oooooo! yes <golf clap> you guys are too good :biggrin:

Grew up in England - too easy!

Try this:

[alhope34]

Lancia Flaminia (or Flavia?), and the "first" first one was a Jensen FF, btw.

Close, but no dice.

[eTiMaGo]

Grew up in England - too easy!

Try this:

I actually have a big die-cast model of this one back home :biggrin: Can't remember the model though!

[fat like reflexes]

lancia aurelia and ferrari 250 GTO?

[eTiMaGo]

ferrari 250 GTO?

that's the one!

[YarisTom73]

THERE walks a lady we all know...

And yes, you are both correct. Well, it isn't a speedster. Just the normal 356 1600cc. Second car will be harder.

Man, I love that song.
Me too, I just got a 2 disc set used for five bucks.. I can't believe I screwed up that lyric. Nice catch man :biggrin:

[alhope34]

lancia aurelia


Yup, the lancia aurelia spider.

[SailDesign]

ferrari 250 GTO?

Yu-huh! That's her. That particular one is one of Ralph Lauren's little toys, I took the pic in Boston while they were at the Museum there.
The Lancia - well, I coulda swored it was one of the "F" cars,but a quick visit to carpictures.com reveals how bad my memory is getting.... Ah, well.:wink:

[kurokoma-kun]

Here's another one

[fat like reflexes]

did they have a 300 sl gullwing there as well? i should have checked that exhibit out.

[SailDesign]

did they have a 300 sl gullwing there as well? i should have checked that exhibit out.

No, they didn't have that one there - plenty of nice Bugatti Atlantic and Bentley blower stuff, though :smile:

[Thirty-Nine]

Here's another one
http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc233/mojojojo2323/anudder1.jpg

Volvo?

[kurokoma-kun]

Nope. :tongue:

made in Germany, not Sweden

[SailDesign]

Borgward? (Don't ask for the model....)

[kurokoma-kun]

Borgward? (Don't ask for the model....)

Yup! :thumbup:

It's a 1954 Borgward Hansa. My dad actually had an Isabella sedan for a while, no idea where he got it.

Cmon Sail Design, I know you've got a good un for us!

[SailDesign]

Cmon Sail Design, I know you've got a good un for us!

OK, try this one. It is a small marque, but a good one.
Yes, it is polished aluminum.

[eTiMaGo]

redyaris' next car!

[SailDesign]

In his dreams.... :smile:

[eTiMaGo]

"Quick! to the bling-mobile!"

Uh but seriously, I have no idea what car that is, I doubt it's a "21" :biggrin:

[fnkngrv]

Color me stumped on this one...

[kurokoma-kun]

duuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh:confused:

I dub it "silver surfer" :biggrin:

[SailDesign]

Ah, c'mon guys.
Hint: Their other car has a "7" on the front, and is a replica of someone else's "7". I can't give you any more without throwing you a party, and I don't cater 'em.....

[kurokoma-kun]

now wait a minute...lotus 21 was open wheel F1 car...

[kurokoma-kun]

ok, is it a caterham?

[SailDesign]

I knew if I said "I don't cater 'em", someone would eventually get it!
Your turn, KK

[kurokoma-kun]

I usually seem to post something too simple, but here it is.

http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc233/mojojojo2323/wotisit.jpg

[Astroman]

kaiser?

[kurokoma-kun]

Nope! hint: the Rebel was another model in this company's line

[SailDesign]

Kurokoma-kun, you do ramble on....
I have the maker's name now, but am not going to give you the pleasure of telling me the model - yet.
Still searching.

[kurokoma-kun]

it's like finding a grain of sand on a beach

[redyaris]

Its a 1956 Nash Rambler Palm Beach.

[redyaris]

Here's a predecessor to the Yaris.

[kurokoma-kun]

Its a 1956 Nash Rambler Palm Beach.

correct!

[SailDesign]

Here's a predecessor to the Yaris.

Aaarrgghhhh.... My eyes!

I don't WANT to know what it was. :iono:

[kurokoma-kun]

Based on the god-awful-ness of the sketch, I'm gonna guess and say it never was produced, but then, this was the era that created disco... :eek:

um...is it electric? nissan had some kind of electric i think

[eTiMaGo]

the world's first weatherproof go-kart?

[SailDesign]

Couldn't find the damn thing anywhere, but found this one while looking. Cool...

http://www.microcarmuseum.com/tour/whattadrag.html

[redyaris]

first major clue: from the same company that made the AMX.

[SailDesign]

first major clue: from the same company that made the AMX.

Yeah, it looks like it would be, but I'm f'ed if I can find it. Still hunting....

[Unknown_Epiphany]

It is the AMC Electron.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_(vehicle)

http://www.offroaders.com/tech/jeep/images/misc-concepts.jpg

Now have a look at this beauty and guess what it is.

[fat like reflexes]

vector wiegart twin turbo or something

[Unknown_Epiphany]

vector w2, very good.

[fat like reflexes]

how about this? http://shell.deru.com/~sgn1/AW11/images/Mr2gps.jpg

[kurokoma-kun]

That is a Group S MR2 rally car. 600 HP :drool:

[Slummy]

I'll give it a go....hope it's not to easy!

[fat like reflexes]

prodrive p1?

[Slummy]

Very close...P2
The P1 was a WRX released in the UK, not sure if it was sold anywhere else?

[evooo]

OK, try this one. It is a small marque, but a good one.
Yes, it is polished aluminum.

Looks somewhat like a tommikaira. no idea, though.

[SailDesign]

Looks somewhat like a tommikaira. no idea, though.

evooo - we're past that one now. It was a Caterham 21.

Right now we are waiting for kurokoma-kun to come up with the next one, assuming she was right with the MR2-on-steroids.

We're waiting......

[kurokoma-kun]

Oh! *snorts* I'm awake!

gee i can't believe you guys were waiting for me :wub:

http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc233/mojojojo2323/duh.jpg

[eTiMaGo]

Mazda Cosmo, one of the first with the Rotary engine, right?

[kurokoma-kun]

Mazda Cosmo, one of the first with the Rotary engine, right?

Yep first wankel rotary powered car! heh i said "wankel" :biggrin:

dayam boy, i just can't fool you... let's see what you got next!

[eTiMaGo]

That's the problem, I can't think of anything right now :laugh:

OK how about this one, the ugliest car I have ever had the misfortune of laying eyes on... If you think the Fit is ugly...

[kurokoma-kun]

wow... that looks like armored ass! :biggrin: no idea what... or why... it is.

[eTiMaGo]

hint: it's a rebadged version of a Japanese car (Mitsubishi I believe), and this manufacturer tried to aim it at the youth market... Their motto: "This Box Ain't Square". I beg to differ!

[SailDesign]

Proton Juara? Either way, your title for the pic is correct :smile:

[eTiMaGo]

bingo! SailDesign gets a cookie!

For some reason, that car never found many buyers... :laugh:

[SailDesign]

It's amazing what a Google of "this box ain't square" will come up with :smile:

So, the next one? Hmmmm..... how 'bout this'un?

[yrsdrgn]

mustang/old corvette stingray photochop?

[SailDesign]

No photo-chop. Straignt-up piccie. As far as I know, this is the only time this mfr (major european mfr) has entered a car for this race. Hint - Paris-Dakar.

Good luck

[eTiMaGo]

Ah I thought it was a Dakar car, those are pretty badass...

As for the manufacturer, I have just trawled wikipedia and google images for any hint, but I give up now.

[SailDesign]

OK - last hint - It's model name was very close to a SUV the same company produced recently, which was named after some folks who live around the area the Paris-Dakar goes through.

[fat like reflexes]

volkswagen tarek

[eTiMaGo]

Volkswagen Tuareg? huh... didn't know it looked like that from the back :laugh:

[SailDesign]

volkswagen tarek

That's the beast!

Your turn

[fat like reflexes]

this probably is going to be an easy one but it may be the ugliest car i've ever seen http://www.autocult.com.au/img/gallery/hologram158.jpg

[jetaimejsc]

Fiat, Multipla

[fat like reflexes]

correct
