They are UK cars, so some of them are kinda hard.

ShawnS · 2007-01-16, 06:01 PM

After 5 minutes, I got 24/50.

Nick Koan · 2007-01-16, 06:27 PM

Damn, some of those are rough.

I've got about half of them right now.

EDIT: 32/50 before I gave up.

kidatari · 2007-01-16, 07:38 PM

Damn.

I managed 21/50 after about 10 minutes.

khail19 · 2007-01-16, 08:44 PM

I'm at 27, some of these I'm clueless on though.

tysonK · 2007-01-16, 08:46 PM

23, but I don't how to spell the lambo, looking that up would be cheating?

khail19 · 2007-01-16, 08:56 PM

JC · 2007-01-16, 09:08 PM

sybir · 2007-01-16, 09:13 PM

I figured that'd be the outcome, hah.

Tron, the master of misc. automotive knowledge.

skimonkey30 · 2007-01-17, 10:51 AM

33/50

I give up

khail19 · 2007-01-17, 01:13 PM

I got up to 38, but without Googling or just straight up guessing I don't think I'll ever get the rest. Damn European cars.

zpeed · 2007-01-17, 02:55 PM

27/50 I give up.

21 and 25 were easy... tow of my favorite cars (esp. 25... I'd kill to find one of those for sale on the west coast!)

I got to 40/50 after 5 or 10 minutes... I got stuck on:

9 (looks like a late 70's Italian rear-engine car) [edit: got it... I had the vintage close and car type close, but not the manufacturer]
12 (I thought it was another beetle, but it's not quite right) [finally got it w/ Aaron's hints]
15 (looks JDM... like a Honda mini-suv?) [edit: got it now]
17 (I don't know my cars from the 50's) [edit: got it, nick's hint made me realize I just spelled it wrong]
24 (the only thing that crossed my mind was "Caterham 7", but those have lights over the suspension). [edit: got this too]

Here's what I did get:

1 Volkswagen Beetle
2 Lotus Elise
3 Subaru Impreza (so hard!)
4 Ford Focus (took some guessing, I thought the wheels looked like SRT-4's)
5 Ford Escort (that was a tough one, since that vintage escort was never sole in the US)
6 Mini Cooper
7 Porsche 914 (easy!)
8 Lamborghini Murcielago (had to look up the spelling)
9 Ford GT-40
10 McLaren F1
11 Pagani Zonda
12 Morris Minor
13 Mercedes SLR
14 Rolls Royce Phantom (I dunno how I pulled that one out of my ass!)
15 Citroen Saxo (it took a hint from Nick for the mfgr, and a google image search for the model)
16 Ferrari Testarossa (though I think it may be a 512TR...)
17 Austin Mini (I friggen typed "Austen" and thought I must be wrong!)
18 Jaguar E-Type (top 5 best looking cars ever!)
19 Porsche Cayman
20 Ferrari Enzo
21 Lancia Delta Integrale (I know what it was, but I took a while to put that last 'e' on Integrale)
22 Volkswagen Golf (guessed volkswagen, then guessed golf...)
23 Ferrari F40
24 Citroen 2CV (again Nick for the make, but GT4 knowledge for the model!)
25 Renault 5 Turbo (one of my favorites!)

Edit: I got #9.
Edit: Got #17 due to Nick's hint.

I've got all those except 17 and 24. You are way off on #9 though. And #15 is not JDM at all either.

Edit: I'm missing 10,11,14,17,18, and 24.

Well, Shelby didn't work for #9... so I thought it was Italian.

Nick Koan · 2007-01-17, 03:37 PM

You are going to kick yourself for not getting #9
