Thread: Name That Car

That tattoo on the ankle is a giveaway

^ Got a positive ID from the amount of rings and bangles.

Nice discussion...!! keep it up

Looper,bit of a fail there, you included the car logo on the wheel.
It is a MG3 buzzbox,cheap and nasty, will not comment on the owner because I have some manners.

^ Looper has a penchant for wearing ladies heels. He has posted photo evidence of this numerous times.

The photo above is supposed to be him, not the lady.

Or cheap and tasty depending on your personal owner experience

Retailing from $17,490 + on road costs

Brought to you courtesy of our good friends in Chinkostan.

It actually has a nice enough cabin with all the lights on. It was a bit dark in the garage so I got the night view of the cabin.

If they had been a bit bigger she would not have got a look in. I would have been struttin my stuff round the garage in those cowboy tassles!

Here are the fostered cuttings enjoying a spot in the sun

Ok boys, what's this? The arse end looks a bit like an old Holden but the front end looks like an old Toyota. No idea..

Opel Commodore?

i was going to say opel ascona but the lights are wrong

This will sound insane but the car looked to be out of proportion, the rear half looked like a full sized Holden and the front half like a medium sized Toyota. Surely nobody would do a cut and shut on two cars that are so very different?

Whale oil beef hooked. Can quite confidently say I've never seen one of those before.

Name that car!

Volks Kharman Ghia, basef on the beetle I believe.

Correctomundo Tax.

Nice looking car.

Lovin those furry dice

I used to have the matchbox version of this exact estate except my matchbox was light green. That was my favourite matchbox for some weird reason.

I had forgotten about that until just now.

The only estate car, all others are poor imitation

Reminds me of the thirsty beast I had for a week during the nineties.

We nick named it the silver bullet.

Fvck we got some stick in Blackpool of the birds on a jolly boys outing.

It was as thirsty as us as well.

Looper I would have thought the driver would get 200 meters down the road before Cops gave them a $3,000 fine and 6 demerit points for those dice obstructing vision? And is that a prancing Rabbit decal?

Calm down, the likes of Mercedes and Audi might argue that point. There was even an Aussie built wagon that could carry a lot of things and didn't need to be going down-hill to reach 60 mph

When you look back at the Supertouring era of the BTCC, there are a handful of cars that stand out for being, at the time, radical. Audi with it’s Quattro A4, which took the 1996 title, Renault with it’s Williams F1 backed Laguna which won in 1997, but none are quite as quirky, original or unique as the 850 Estate.

One of the very good Top Gear Specials has James in a Volvo estate in Africa. Worth a download.

When I was very young one of my father's graduate students had a bright red Karman Ghia convertible.

Though riding in it with the top down was noisy, windy and cold, I still thought that it was the coolest car ever!

Easy one - 50th anniversary model?
