Car Trivia!

[Craigger]

Can Anyone Name the red car in my sig/avatar?

Anyone? :lol:

[fedezyl]

BMW 635 Ci? i'm sure it's a 6 series though

[AlienDB7]

It's definitely a 635, said so in the file name of your sig :wink:

Follow-up trivia, what's the car in my avatar? Hint: it's a concept (between 1990 and 2000).

[interceptor_01]

LOOOL, this was way too easy ROFL

@AlienDB7....can you post a bigger pic of the car?
its american i think :)

is it a pontiac G6?

[666fast]

I think it's a Pontiac of sorts but I'm not sure.

Edit- is it the Oldsmobile Alero concept?

[Jabba]

it looks american to me....but I dont know the models... to well over there

[AlienDB7]

I think it's a Pontiac of sorts but I'm not sure.

Edit- is it the Oldsmobile Alero concept?
Yes, you're good! It's the Alpha Alero concept from 1997. A bigger pic:

/me gives 666fast a cookie.

Jabba: it's known as the chevy Alero in UK I believe.

No way it'll be a Pontiac, it doesn't have all the cheap cladding and big front grille.

This game seems fun, perhaps we should start posting pics of less known concept cars?

[AlienDB7]

As promised, another trivia picture:

http://www.autotrend.com/pic/10038.jpg

Hint: from 1990-2000
No cheating!

Last post for today, got to finish some work.

[666fast]

Yay, I win!

The new pic looks like a Aston Martin concept. Not sure which one.

Maybe even a Maserati? :?

[novass]

yea i was gonna say some kind of Maserati concept

[666fast]

I'm stumped, I'm pretty sure it isn't either a Aston Martin or a Maserati.

Is it a TVR Cerbera Concept?

[AlienDB7]

No, not Aston Martin, Maserati or TVR.

Some extra hints, it's from an italian design house between 1990 and 1995.

[stracing]

i have absolutely no idea but was it designed by pinninfarina?

[1zippo1]

I guess it's an Italdesign concept car, but wich one, no clue.

I didn't find it here, but here are a couple nice pic's:
http://www.highresautoimages.com/italdesign/italdesign.html

[sikx5]

[1zippo1]

Damn I really can't find it anywhere.

I've seached for Ferrari, Fiat, Alfa Romeo & Lancia.

The only left are: Lamboghini (can't be it, not their style), Bugatti & De Tomaso.

[Jabba]

I was gonna say Lambo...some of their early stuff was very weird....

[sikx5]

ah, what a great hint.....lol, ok ppl try not to cheat next time. :lol:

[hyspeed]

hmmm...looks like MG, a little hint of Korean design also, could be Kia or Deawoo......honestly i dunno, but nice rims though.

[SilviaS15Cwest]

hmmm...looks like MG, a little hint of Korean design also, could be Kia or Deawoo......honestly i dunno, but nice rims though.

Your really close.

[fedezyl]

Daewoo Lanos?

[SilviaS15Cwest]

We got a winner. LOL! :D

[novass]

hyundai?

[fedezyl]

Lets see...small hint...has the smallest production V6

http://www.mazdamaniac.com/images/stills/21.jpg

aaand I have one, in red though

[666fast]

Mazda 626?

[fedezyl]

Got the brand name right....but no..626 is a sedan...it's also regarded as Mazda's forgotten sports car...to bad cause it's a really nimble little car, just needs more power...

[666fast]

Ok, it's an MX6 right?

[fedezyl]

Nope...reaaally close but not an MX6, that one is bigger, and definetely ugly, nice engine though

[666fast]

MX3? This is my last try, if it's not right, then I have no idea what it is! I knwo it's a Mazda though!

[fedezyl]

You just hit the jackpot fellow, what do you drive if I may ask?

[666fast]

Nothing at the moment, I'm without a car. Currently looking for a junker to get me around untill I have more cash to spend on a nicer car.

[sikx5]

its a enous of some sort :roll:

[666fast]

its a enous of some sort :roll:

Huh? :?

[SilviaS15Cwest]

A cookie to who ever can tell me what this is...
Extra Credit: How many cylinders did it have?
http://images.andale.com/f2/118/105/11710729/1054664468448_Honda_600__1.JPG

For another cookie what is this...
http://ebay1.ipixmedia.com/abc/M28/_EBAY_59ccd461625bfa872ff085ce2e88f710/i-4_B.JPG
Krazy Hawaiian knows what it is.

[AlienDB7]

For the first one, the look of the fog lights and headlights remind me of second gen honda civic. Is it a honda from that era? My guess for the engine is, it has a 2-3cyl. You wouldn't be asking if it's a plain 4 banger. If it's a honda, they wouldn't think about putting a V6 in there.

For the second one, I think it's a honda as well. They used to put the HONDA badge on the back like that. And in the pic, there're 5 letters. Is it a honda S800? Seems like it is, finally found some pics of it :)

http://www.spinning-wheel.net/images/Pics/Honda%20S800%20rear.jpg

Ahh.. I think I know what the first one is, a honda N600? So, it has a 2 cyl 600cc bike engine?

[SilviaS15Cwest]

Very good. From my source the first one is a 1971 Z600 which had a 2 cylinder in it. You were right about the last one to. a 1966 S800.

[AlienDB7]

Next cookie giveaway:

http://www.businessweek.com/1998/38/art38/bw3822.jpg

Hint: it has a 4.6L V8

[666fast]

Panoz Roadster thing

[AlienDB7]

Panoz Roadster thing
666fast is fast as usual :D

[666fast]

That one was pretty easy.
What is this, it's from 1968, straight six, 150BHP. It's not to hard, just recently became the most valuable Japanese car.

http://www.digitalpose.com/mbr/1/20907/p/351398_533071529214571719_vl.jpg

[SilviaS15Cwest]

Toyota 2000 GT?

[666fast]

Silvia got it. I figured that one was a bit easy.

[666fast]

Ok, found another one. This one shouldn't be too easy.
Built between 1974 and 1976, 351 Ford engine, built in Canada and sold in Chevy Dealerships. Also has gullwing doors.

http://www.cars101.com/bricklin-red-1.jpg

[SilviaS15Cwest]

Sounds like it could be a Delorean????

[666fast]

Nope, as far as I know Deloreans only came in one color, aluminum.
There aren't very many of these, only 500 were made according to my source.

[SilviaS15Cwest]

I dont know... I will look it up...

[666fast]

Another Hint
These cars are unusual, no doubt. And they are also quite rare. The factory cranked out just over 2,800 of these cars, named SV-1 (Safety Vehicle 1) between 1974 and 1976, when the plant was forced to close for lack of funds.

I was wrong on the only 500 produced bit, there are only 500 known to still exist.

[AlienDB7]

Thanks for the hints, is it a Bricklin SV1? Google to the rescue :)

[666fast]

Heh, good job. I was sure no one would get it if I didn't give any hints.

[SilviaS15Cwest]

Never seen or heard of those before...

[666fast]

That is why they are so rare. no one knows what they are. They were only made for a few years and went out of business. Over the time, many were lost, wrecked, or whatever and only 500 are known to exist.

[sikx5]

its a enous of some sort :roll:

Huh? :?

Its a Eunos 30X dude.

Isn't it one of those new cheap ass Yugo things? I read an article on them. They had another car that was hideous. Supposed to be like $6000 brand new. Heh, it'll never go into production.

[SilviaS15Cwest]

I dont know what that car is either.

[AlienDB7]

Is it a renault? Just a guess.

[Nemisis8u]

Isn't it one of those new cheap ass Yugo things? I read an article on them. They had another car that was hideous. Supposed to be like $6000 brand new. Heh, it'll never go into production.

Bingo. Do you know what the company is called now? ZMW.......Zastava motor works. Just brilliant.

[666fast]

Yea, I read an article ont hem not too long ago. Wasn't that Zastava guy in jail for something?

[1zippo1]

Probably not for speeding because that car probably only goes 27 mph :P

[SilviaS15Cwest]

Probably not for speeding because that car probably only goes 27 mph :P

LOL! It has a top speed of 35 if your going down a hill and have the wind helping you.

[Nemisis8u]

Probably not for speeding because that car probably only goes 27 mph

:rofl: Its kind of a stupid question, but who do you think will win in a drag race. The Yugo or the Lada?

[crochico]

Yea, I read an article ont hem not too long ago. Wasn't that Zastava guy in jail for something?

i didn't know there was a guy named Zastava.. i just thought it was a name for the car company.. when you translate zastava, it means flag

[draak666]

It's a fairy tale car from happyland. Magicians drive 'em. This car can also fly. Most of the time there's a dwarf sittin' on the roof. He was takin' a leak on the moment this picture was taken, so that's why he's not on it.

[666fast]

I don't know if it is his name. I just assumed that it was. I thought I read something that whoever wants to bring these ars back went to jail for something. I can't seem to find any info on it so I guess I'm wrong.

[Anonymous]

[troskap]

:rofl: Its kind of a stupid question, but who do you think will win in a drag race. The Yugo or the Lada?

I know I'm way behind in the game, but it's a Bricklin SV1, I live up the street from one that sits out in all sorts of inclement weather for no apparent reason.
