Name the Car 4

[52Paddy]

This was done in the Rally forum for years so I thought I'd bring it back with a slight difference. I've decided to leave it open to all forms of motorsport, and, resultantly, have posted it here as opposed to any specific racing/rally forum. For those who've not played before, the rules are simple: someone uploads a picture of a racing/rally car which has been edited in order to make it difficult to identify (it is up to you to decide how you want to edit the pic). First person to identify the photo, gets to pick the next one. You may require for more details such as driver, year and/or location if you wish.

As a side note, I find it gets terribly confusing if everybody jumps on the bandwagon and posts pictures. The order becomes lost and the thread becomes all criss-crossed. It would be great if we could stick to one pic at a time. If a poster disappears, however, a new pic can be posted by anyone. Right, let's get the ball rolling:

Car and Year please :D

[Rollo]

Without seeing the helmet... Is that a Formula Renault in 2006/7 with Sebastian Vettel driving?

[SGWilko]

That car should be called Tarquin IMO..... :D

[52Paddy]

Without seeing the helmet... Is that a Formula Renault in 2006/7 with Sebastian Vettel driving?

No. Roll back to the previous decade.

[52Paddy]

No. The driver is mostly associated with sports cars.

[Sonic]

I'm gonna say a Brabham from 1992. (love this game btw)

[schmenke]

That's what I was thinking. The front end anyways resembles a Brabham.


Not giving us much to work with Paddy :p :

[52Paddy]

I'm gonna say a Brabham from 1992. (love this game btw)

Correct! The driver is Eric van de Poele. I'll post the full pic when I get home. It's not on my work PC. In the mean time, hit us with a new one Sonic!

[52Paddy]

Actually, here is the web link http://f1pitshirts.com/mrl_photos/f1photos/1992/photos/small/07-08_brabham/F-92-SILV-07-01.jpg

[Sonic]

I will post a new one when I get on my PC - the iPad isn't up to the task. Schmenke, if you can get one up before then please go right ahead as we had the same idea at about the same time.

[schmenke]

Thanks sonic, I'll post an easy one for the time being :) :

[52Paddy]

Thanks sonic, I'll post an easy one for the time being :) :

I'd say it's F1 from 1984-86. It looks a little like the Williams, from my imagination, but given that it's number 15, that's unlikely the answer.

[schmenke]

Yes, it's F1.
A tad earlier than 1984.
Not a Williams.

[CarlMetro]

I reckon it's a 1980 Renault RS20, Jean Pierre Jabouille was number 15 for Renault in those days but not sure about the colour scheme so I may be wrong.

[Rollo]

It's a Renault RE30, and it's Prost driving because it's got a red number 15 on. I suspect that it's from 1982 because it's a black tail variety. Can't tell you which GP it is though.

[52Paddy]

Seems likely.

[52Paddy]

Schmenke?

Well done Rollo :up:
Although I thought it was an Re20, but I could be wrong.

Have a go!

[Rollo]

This is enough to be going on with:

http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad297/rollo75/ivegotalovelybunchofcoconuts.jpg

[ioan]

Judging by it's looks most probably a Chinese knockoff of a Mercedes.

Just kidding! ;)

[steveaki13]

Mclaren from 1997?

[Rollo]

Thought I'd give a hint.

That picture is a tail light, and yes, it's the right way up.

[speedhog]

1963 Ford Anglica

[Rollo]

I don't anyone will ever get this, so I'll award it to this answer:


Ford Cortina?

I think that the Mk1 Cortina has the most distinctive tail lights of any car around:
http://www.chromjuwelen.com/images/cache/304x197-http---www.retroscenemag.com-image.axd-picture-Mk1-Cortina-lights.jpg

This however was... a TVR Grantura.
http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad297/rollo75/TVRGrantura07.jpg

I saw one of these on the road last week. To date it's the only one I've ever seen... and yes they are Mk1 Cortina tail light clusters.

[52Paddy]

Nice car that TVR. Tricky picture though.

[52Paddy]

Thought I'd resurrect this thread. Here is one for you all - note that it is not a racing car. Just a road car.

[schmenke]

Interesting Paddy. I'd guess an early mark Jaguar , perhaps early '60s?

(BTW, like the thread :) )

[raybak]

Nsu ro80?

[driveace]

I agree with raybak,its an NSU ,90 i thought,similar to a Citroen too

[52Paddy]

Nsu ro80?

Bingo! Will post the pic later. Mean time, fire ahead with one...someone!

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Looks like a Peugeot 205?

[driveace]

No it's a peugeot 309 GT or whatever they called the sportier version.Mikael Sundstrom,and Richard Burns,used to make them go like sh.t off a shovel,but they were never as popular as the 205

[Bolton Midnight]

Correct 309 GTi, the 205 didn't have Fog & Driving lamps.

[driveace]

Will get my photo,s sorted now and post one for you all

[driveace]

struggling to post photo,so some one else post one,till i sort it Thanks

[schmenke]

O.k., in an effort to keep this thread moving along, I'll offer up what I think is an easy one ( :uhoh: ).
What car, no longer in producition (I think), boasted this distinctive interior?

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7020/6550796895_9fb9984904.jpg

[52Paddy]

1. Is it American?
2. If a car could look homosexual, that's what it would look like inside.

[schmenke]

1. Too early for hints :p :
2. I wouldn't know :p :

[edv]

Hmmm...a DeLorean?

[schmenke]

Sorry edv, this car wasn't equipped with a flux capacitor :) .
In fact, this car was likely rarely seen in our neck of the woods... ;)

[Bagwan]

The only thing I can think of that would be wide enough to fit three-wide like that is a Pacer , but was probably pretty common in Cowtown in the good ol' days of the seventies , so a long-shot here .

[schmenke]

Nothing as ugly as a Pacer Baggy :) .
This vehicle was in production well into the '80s.

Our continental friends on the other side of the pond would likely recognize it ;)

[driveace]

That is something made by British Leyland,and maybe badged as a Rover SD 1 ,? Or a land crab Austin 1800 ?

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7020/6550796895_9fb9984904.jpg

I've got no idea, but it doesn't look all that old really. I've never seen a 1+2 seat split like that. Is that a gated shifter or just a strange looking automatic shifter?

[Bagwan]

teehee Baghee didn't get it :laugh:

I got what what it's not . That narrows it down .

I am a bit amazed that Schmenke didn't get offended that I called Cowtown "Pacerville" .

[schmenke]

Nah Baggy, my wife drove a Pacer in her younger days growing up in New Brunswick :p : . I still giggle at that, but she swore by it.
Nowadays in Cowtwon, it you ain't driving an F150, you're probably eating quiche for lunch :mark: :p : .


I'll let Donks have a go; he got it :)

I honestly thought this was an easy one. The only vehicle that I know of that had a three-seat interior was the Matra Bagheera, produced in France during the '70s and '80s. I always thought it was a sharp looking car for it's time:
The Matra-Simca Bagheera (http://www.matrasport.dk/Cars/Bagheera/history.html)

[Bagwan]

Ouch , bitten by a donkey !

Not the first time .
Probably won't be the last .

Your wife likely loved the build quality of that Pacer .
I went out to the oil patch in '79 , to Sunnybrook , in a gremlin , doing body work the whole way .

[donKey jote]

go ahead and have a go for me bagman
this donkey's on holiday :s anta:

[Bagwan]

Ungawa , bagwan not know how post picture .
him not need post picture , cloud brain with know how post picture .

Here's one to keep you going:

[airshifter]

Here's one to keep you going:

Not much to go by... a Holden of some sort?

[Malbec]

Looks Japanese, I'm thinking a Mitsubishi Galant from the '70s or an Isuzu 117

[focus206]

maybe Datsun 180B?

[52Paddy]

Not much to go by... a Holden of some sort?

Not a Holden.

Not a Mitsubishi Galant or Isuzu but it is Japanese.


maybe Datsun 180B?

Very warm.

[driveace]

Datsun (Nissan) Violet,is my best guess YES ?

[focus206]

Datsun 710 / Datsun 140J?

[52Paddy]

Datsun (Nissan) Violet,is my best guess YES ?

Correct. Have a go!

[driveace]

http://www2854.motorsportforums.com/asset.php?fid=2481&uid=99229&d=1262642567
What sort of car is this driver resting his arm on ?

[52Paddy]

Perhaps a short saloon car or some kind? Something along the lines of a Wolsely Hornet?

[52Paddy]

On second thought, it looks more like a windscreen than a rear window.

[focus206]

From the colours it could be a Peugeot rally car... 309?

[driveace]

Go on then Focus it is the car he drove for the Sedan Open,a Peugeot 309,at I believe the same time as Richard Burns

[focus206]

I never did a game like this, I have no idea about the difficulty, but let's try :D

[52Paddy]

Go on then Focus it is the car he drove for the Sedan Open,a Peugeot 309,at I believe the same time as Richard Burns

Who is the driver in the picture you posted?

[driveace]

Well it's a Skoda,maybe driven by a guy I have met,who run an ice school in Norway John Haugland,it's a Skoda rear engine ,rear wheel drive car.

[driveace]

Who is the driver in the picture you posted?

The driver ,who drunk himself to an early grave ,was a nice Finnish guy ,called Mikael Sundstrom,who I met on many occasions.

[focus206]

Well it's a Skoda,maybe driven by a guy I have met,who run an ice school in Norway John Haugland,it's a Skoda rear engine ,rear wheel drive car.

Right, it's a Skoda ;) Model?

[Rollo]

I never did a game like this, I have no idea about the difficulty, but let's try :D

It's a Skoda 130LR.

Matchbox made a model of this:
http://www.diecastlovers.com/normale/Matchbox_Skoda_130LR_RtTp.jpg

[focus206]

Right :)

[driveace]

Go on Rollo,you got the model number

[Rollo]

The next thing for you to wrap your head around:

http://i945.photobucket.com/albums/ad297/rollo75/guessme4.jpg

[driveace]

BMW 7 series 735 ? In silver !

[Bagwan]

Is that a safety car ?

[52Paddy]

It's definitely one of the new Beemers - if not a 7-series, I'm guessing a 6-series?

[Rollo]

BMW 7 series 735 ? In silver !

It is a BMW 7 Series E65. The one with the weird boot line. What were they thinking?!

Have a go.

[driveace]

Whilst i fathom out how to insert an image onto here ,will some one else post an image please

[52Paddy]

OK, I think this needs a bit of a crash-course: After you've edited your picture and saved the file, go to the "Go Advanced" option below the quick reply box. Click on "Manage attachments" then "Upload file". Select your file by ticking the box beside it, then click "Upload". A link to the file will appear then. Be sure not to name the file the name of the car, as it will appear on the post and, obviously, give away your answer.

Note that some of the terms that I've used above may not be word-for-word but you get the idea. Easy peasy :)

[driveace]

Name the car the driver and which rally

[Rollo]

I think that it's an Opel Ascona but can't tell you any more than that.

[driveace]

Model,driver,and event please

[52Paddy]

Good work on getting the pic up. Here's my guess:

Model: Ascona 400
Driver: Jimmy McRae
Event: Very hard to know but I'll go with The Circuit of Ireland?

PS: It would be better if you could edit out the picture of the car so we are ONLY identifying the car itself. It's easy to do - open the picture in Windows paint and mess around with the various tools. But, since it's your first go, we'll continue with this one as is :)

[driveace]

not a 400 or a group 4 car,not jimmy,and not the circuit,look at the registration ,not a UK built car !Get the make/model and the event or driver and its yours And not a Foreign event either

[donKey jote]

not a foreign event... hmm let me think...
German ADAC Rally ? :p

[Gregor-y]

not a foreign event... hmm let me think...
German ADAC Rally ? :p
I doubt it; no German would drive on the wrong side of the road like that.

[driveace]

not a foreign event... hmm let me think...
German ADAC Rally ? :p

UK event

[driveace]

Its the Manx Rally,its a group A car !

[52Paddy]

Well it's surely an Ascona right? I'm unaware of any other rally model but the group 4 400...

[Rollo]

http://www.esrcfinland.fi/ralli/mantta200.pdf
Jukka Korttila, Juha-Matti Huusari, Opel Ascona B, UEX-681

The same car appears in all sorts of rallies from what I can determine and with multiple driver/navi combinations.

[driveace]

OK,for ease ,so some one else has a go.It is an Opel Ascona i2000,The event is the 1984 Manx Rally,and the Driver is Mikael Sundsrom from Finland
So as rollo tried hardest ,your next Rollo

Mitsuoka Viewt

[52Paddy]

Bloody hell! A Jaguar Mk2 rip-off anyway :p :

I did see a Nissan March chassis with a similar shell to the one above so I wonder could it be that?

[driveace]

Not a Lancia,as it has a look of one ?

[Rollo]

Mitsuoka Viewt

We have a winner.

I saw one of these in Sydney yesterday. I wonder, if it's possible to make cars look nice, then why don't car makers do it for?

[Malbec]

Finally figured out how to upload... Try this one, not a big pic I'm afraid

[Malbec]

2883

Finally figured out how to upload pics, try this one though its a bit small

[driveace]

Looks like a Fiat badge,but the whole car looks British Leyland,it's LHD too,Was it actually produced in great volume ?

[52Paddy]

I think it's a Talbot badge.

[Rollo]

It's not a Chrysler Alpine/Simca 130? is it?

[Malbec]

I deliberately chose a smaller pic so the badge wouldn't show clearly. Its none of the makers or cars mentioned already but you've got the correct continent guys!

[Rollo]

Is it a Tatra 613 / 700?

V8 rear engine... YEAH power tailslides on icy roads to oblivion.
I reckon BL took their inspiration for the styling of their own 3.5L V8 engined car off of this when they built the SD1.

I think it's a Tatra 700.

Close, its the 613. Started to be imported into the UK in tiny numbers back when I was a teenager in the 90s. Very rare here and IMO also very cool, a vision of where vw would have been if the carried on with the type 4

[Rollo]

The Scorpio is the donor car, but the rest of it is so significantly transformed, I think it counts as a separate builder.

[driveace]

Ghia on Mulliner body?

[52Paddy]

The Scorpio is the donor car, but the rest of it is so significantly transformed, I think it counts as a separate builder.

I don't quite understand. Are you saying that they've used a Scorpio shell on a different cars' chassis?

In case you want and even want to buy CCTV for your business or home, you might want to seek for a trusted CCTV installer; one that is from a recognized and revered security company. Beware of getting low-quality substandard cheap CCTV cameras on the market. They lure you with their unbelievably low prices yet are certainly not useful when it comes to supplying you with good service. There are affordable CCTV products out there but in no way purchase low-quality cheap CCTV.
