Any tips for 7 and 9? Not too obvious, please! I'd say 7 is British, might be mistaken though.

7 is german, might need a bit of research to get the model number.

9 is an american classic

[Filipe M.]

And I'm only 27...

It's the Boxter's shy cousin. ;)

And I'm 29, so where are you getting at? :lol:

[Baph]

No, I don't know my cars that well, I do know a web-browser pretty well though...
var makes = new Array (

);

var models = new Array (
....
);

:D 50/50 :D

(see, I cheated, but didn't reveal anything unless someone else wants to cheat too :D)

[Law]

What's 19? Porsche .... they all look the same to me :roll:

[chunkytfg]

I'm buggered if i can work out 24?

[Filipe M.]

#15's ancestor.

[Law]

24 is an old citreon, that's all i know

[chunkytfg]

course it is...Doh!!!

[Tim in Belgium]

Well when I was a kid the 911 didn't look the same as a 924 which was loads different to the 944 (well slightly) which again was completely different to the 928.

As for the difference between the 914 and the 914/6, they were huge!

[plowsie]

38 not too shabby

[Law]

pff I give up, stupid model names

[Filipe M.]

The 944 and 924 weren't that different! ;) On the outside at least.

[Bluepete]

I'm on 42 after much head scratching. No 15 is no an exotic, think teenager......

[Tim in Belgium]

Just what I was getting at, they don't seem to spend loads on designers to come up with new designs!

Had got the Cayenne confused with the Gayman, so strong is their brand distinction between models!

[Filipe M.]

:smt034Don't give up... 'cos you have friends... :smt034

[Jelster]

I didn't think it would generate that many posts that quickly....

And #4 is the coolest there (well in my book!)

They seem to be pointing the other way (just like every other make, then). Instant brand recognition is more important than model name itself, because the brand will be here long after the model has stepped out of production. Look at Audi, for instance...

Obviously the end result is the old "seen Juan, you've seen Jamal". :wink:

[plowsie]

24 is an old citreon, that's all i know

citroen 2cv

[pegasus]

i am such an anorak 50/50:shock:

Obviously number 4 was easy :smt045

The one's I didn't get were:

2,3,10,11,15,16,18,20,22,23

And I didn't cheat on any of the others..... I was surprised that I actually knew as many as I did.

If somebody would like to PM me some clues (I don't want the answers) I'd appreciate it...

Hey, my ST is soon to be 285 bhp, in my garage that's pretty cool. :smt077 If I went the whole hog and did the turbo as well it'd be closer to 330, but I could by another bike for that sort of money :shaking:

.

[Tim in Belgium]

And would imagine you'd soon be reaching the limits of front wheel drive, torque steer etc at that kind of power!!

So how is it now (as standard?) and what do you expect at 285?

[Marshall]

i NEED 7,10,16 and 23

im kicking myself over 10 as i know i know what it it

[Filipe M.]

10? Well, Mr. Ron Dennis is said to have crashed one while showing off...

[Tim in Belgium]

Yep was there that day, and he spun it into a gravel trap the day before in practice!

[Marshall]

Standard it's a giggle. I mean not as much fun as riding the 'Blade, but I haven't used the bike that much this winter, so what does that tell you ?

I still love the look of it, and I will find every excuse to drive it. It still makes me grin, and my Mrs says I've reverted back to a teenager since I've had it. (I think this had something to do with a guy in a CTR at a set of lights :rolleyes:).

With 285 brake it pulls from 2k all the way to 6k+, the torque from thay 5 cylinder lump is pretty impressive.

Suffice to say that it's keeping me happy, and I normally get bored with cars quite quickly.

what's number 21?

Lancia

There's one around here, in white Martini livery... it looks as dated as can be, but I still wouldn't say no... ;)

[Luckypants]

It's the Martini livery that is dated. Red or Black still looks good and they go like stink!

True. I'd have an Audi Sport Quattro over that, though! :cool:

Well you may take the Roller to the Opera, and as for the Merc, it's probablly the ulimate Mercedes. Amazing stopping distances, ceramic brakes I think... And the motor's pretty quick to.
