How well can you identify cars?

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

After 5 minutes, I got 24/50.

Damn, some of those are rough.

I've got about half of them right now.

EDIT: 32/50 before I gave up.

Damn.

I managed 21/50 after about 10 minutes.

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

i swear 4 is an audi s4 guess not...

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

mur c la go

murcielago

31 now.

I got 39.

4 minutes, 50/50.

It's a sickness.
:D

21 and 25 got me for a minute because i wasn't putting in the whole name ;)

You suck...

Still at 34.

lol, it's a focus.

I got the Beetle correct 2/50

I thought it was a Vectra or something.

I like this one from on the Top Gear web site

Apparently not that well...

haha that is awesome. Hail Aaron! Knower of all things worth knowing. :D

And many more things that aren't :D

I figured that'd be the outcome, hah.

Tron, the master of misc. automotive knowledge.

33/50

I give up :lol:

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.

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.

You are going to kick yourself for not getting #9

Exactly. :lol:

Stuck with 29/50...

I know I did.

I was on the same track as Scott with Shelby marque. And when I finally got it, I wanted to kick my own ass.

It was actually the first car I thought of with a huge side scoop.

11 and 18 are killing me, because I know that I've seen them before.

14,17, and 24 I really have no idea. I figured 17 was a VW Thing, but I was wrong.

14 is weird. I knew it right away, but I couldn't tell you why, or whats really distinguishing about the picture.

I just figured it out... that picture is a lot closer to the car than I realized! :eek:

Hints:

11 is Italian

18 is a car extremely famous for it's looks, and has been used as inspiration for many more modern cars

Also, if it helps any Khail, I don't think 17 or 24 ever came to the states. Though, both are pretty famous in motorsports.

OK, got 11. I'd thought of it before, but apparently never spelled it right. For 18 I keep thinking 240z but I know it's not quite the same. I've seen a few Ferraris with that style headlight too, but that's not it either.

Shit! I knew 17, but spelled it wrong and assumed it was something else!! :mad:

Yeah, I didn't get that one. I had to ask Aaron. Pissed me off when I heard it too.

Lets see, I missed 4, 6, 10, 12, 13 (missed the model only), 17, 21 (got the make, got half the model too, but didn't type the whole name in properly), 23, 24, 25.

This was all before I gave up and just IM'd the master :p

Nick, how bout a hint for 12, 15 or 24?

12, uh, I already forgot. Doh.

15 and 24 are French and the same make. They've both participated in rallying, but I don't think ever at the top level of the WRC.

For 12, it's basically the only car I know of that sort of looks like a Beetle. But boxier.

I can't believe 24 is the same make as 15. I still don't know the model though.

Think WWII era.

Okay, I got 15 and 24... the French hint led me to 'em.

For 12, it's British, and it was the UK "people's car" that preceded the Mini.

For 24, it's the cheapest car ever made, and it was designed that way.

Not an MG, not a Triumph, not a Rover, not an Austin Healey... I'm outta ideas!

The guy who designed the Mini designed #12 more than a decade prior.

Here's another hint. Austin, who made the Mini, was on of BMC's brands. This car was made by one of their other brands.

Lemme know when you give up :)

I got it now... I never would have come up w/ that.

after intense concentration (and a little web surfing)...got them all....

Weird, I clicked on the link, scrolled down to the bottom and then saw I got 2/50. I scrolled back up and saw that #1 was already filled in for me (Matt's answer?).
