Right. So. HoTWire and I have had a chat. We've thrown our handbags at each other, and reached something of an understanding (I think). This penance is my "giving ground" after a (well made) point that I detract more than I add to this forum, in accordance with the RR MO. I am demonstrating that I do actually have an interest in cars, and giving a wider apology to anyone I have upset by posting something "unsavoury", derailing threads or going way off topic (but not to anyone offended by things that slip through the swear filter - sorry but you can poke that one). So, without further ado... We are going to play "Name that car", and the winner gets a prize (no, seriously, you do!) Here are some teeny tiny snippets of cars. The rules... You may only give one answer per pic, your first answer is taken as your final answer and that is that. You must give an answer for ALL PICS in one post. If you don't you are disqualified. You may not post multiple posts with different answers. You must not edit your reply once submitted (cos that's cheating, init?) I will check back now and then to see if anyone got it right yet, I will not be saying "yes" or "no" as we go, I will only say when someone has nailed all of them. I won't say right away though, I will keep this going a while and announce the winner a little while afterwards If it's clear that no one is gonna get it after a few days (weeks? Months? Once the thread dies...) I'll pick the winner who was closest. There are a couple of nasty red herrings in there too... Be careful! I am giving away 2 bottles of my latest experimental cider. It is maturing at the moment, you will receive one bottle of still and one bottle of sparkling. It's a ginger and honey recipe, sitting at a whopping 13.8% approx, I wasn't d!cking around when I brewed it. It will need to mature further, so once you receive it I will tell you how long you need to leave it before you drink. I must stress, IT'S AN EXPERIMENTAL RECIPE!!! So, please, give honest feedback on it, I have NO idea how it will turn out, but I do know that there are big flavours in there. Shall we start? 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10)

4) Ferrari Testarossa
5) Ford Fiesta MkI XR2
6) Vauxhall Astra MkI Estate

Right: My guesses are as follows (and I didn't even look at anyone else's!) 1. Mazda RX-7 (FD version) 2. Commer Van/Camper - might even be badged as a Dodge
3. Volvo P1800
4. Ferrari Testarossa (proper 80s wedginess!)
5. Mk1 Ford Fiesta (Supersport or XR2?)
6. Vauxhall Astra Mk1 (Or Opel Kadett)
7. Fiat Multipla Mk1 (Or Multiplex as I like to call them)
8. Porsche 356 (or Replica thereof)
9. AC Cobra (more likely a replica - I'll hazard a guess at a Dax Tojeiro )
10. Reliant Rialto.

As I already said (as a hint) the pics seem to be taken randomly off of google pic search. So here is the original pic for number 3 - and no.3: btw: I don´t want the booze, someone else can have it! They were. The idea was we played the game and didn't cheat ;-) Next time I will be less lazy and make google image search impossible (Thats if we want another one?)

Cheaty McCheatypants google-fu master up there^ "won"... almost. He put 356 but its actually a Chesil. will post the source pics soon... too busy counting my Grand National winnings at the mo Not sure a car quiz will be a regular feature mind you... wasnt as popular as I'd hoped!

... The idea was we played the game and didn't cheat ;-) Next time I will be less lazy and make google image search impossible (Thats if we want another one?) So where did I cheat? You did not give a rule that we must not look up a car that we´re not completely sure about?! ... Cheaty McCheatypants google-fu master up there^ "won"... Not sure a car quiz will be a regular feature mind you... wasnt as popular as I'd hoped! So now it´s getting really ridiculous, mr.adjust-the-rules-later-frustrated-by-not-being-as-popular-as-hoped... Go on, cry! Er, not quite sure what to make of that?
