If you want to try the game, don't scroll down, I put the answers several posts down, so give it a try first.

Renault 5 Turbo

25/50... The moderns are tough, I was able to get most manufacturers but not the models. Old stuff was easy

I have 48 of 50, but I have no idea what number 15 is?
I did have to check a few spellings...

[masraum]

I'm lacking 4, 12, 15, and 17.

28/50. I sucked.

[AFC-911]

34/50

no clue on #15, but for 4 the wheels should give it away (hint, it's not avail. in the US....but it should be).

the mercedes drove me nuts!!!

*question....can you guys see #14? because mine doesn't load right.

[masraum]

14 should be

If it looks like a bunch of vertical lines (like a polished or chrome grill, for instance), then it's loading correctly.

12 and 17 look like the same model, but I guess I am wrong on 12. 17 is the best selling car ever in Great Britain, I believe, but see my disclaimer below.

Wow, I suck at this! 30/50, but only because Jake gave away #25! (I thought it looked like a Pinto or Gremlin or something). The Cayman took me forever - I had Porsche, and I kept going through boxster, 993, 996, 997, turbo, 911 turbo, even though the brake ducts led me to only boxster and 996 turbo (right?). Stupid Cayman

#17 is definitely tricky, but try to picture that "rickety" look in a larger sense!

One interesting thing I noticed was even when I was wrong, other guesses would be from the same country - makes me think there must be a common thread to German cars, British cars, Italians, etc. (except #12 - I'm stumped - looks like a Beetle, or maybe a Bentley...)

OK, I've got 12 and 17. different cars. I've got a Brit who grew up in Ireland that just stopped by that gave me a hand with those. I should have guessed on 12 and when he said "taxi" on 17 I could immediately picture the car.

[Nostril Cheese]

got em all except 10, 15 and 21

Dont think many americans will get 12

[AFC-911]

I'm up to 40/50....just got 9, 13, 14.


Stumped on 12, 15 17, 21 & 24...I thought I was sure on 21 & 24, but my best guesses are no good.

I ended up getting #15 at about 3:30 this afternoon. I figured that this was a European quiz, the wheel has four lug nuts and was small, reasoned that it would likely be an economy car and then resorted to trying to think who made economy cars in Europe until I arrived at Citroen. Then I just guessed citroen model names that I remembered until I got the right one. Maybe cheating, but I got there in the end!
