Title: Solved -PJ561- Watch those blades!
Post by: Paul Jaray on September 22, 2013, 04:18:29 PM: An easy one for ~~Experts~~...
Identify all these cars for 1 point.
(I had to modify the pic to make it a little bit harder).
Why not...open for all!

Post by: Paul Jaray on September 22, 2013, 04:22:41 PM: There are not tricky rules here...they are just all easy as they seem (more or LESS) and those are not just small air intakes.
1 point for all of them.

#1: Renault Dezir Concept
#2: Renault Alpine A110-50
#3: Smart Roadster
#4: Audi R8
#5: Citroen GT
#6: Yema Auto M72

Post by: Paul Jaray on September 22, 2013, 05:52:14 PM: No, it's not.

Post by: 75america on September 23, 2013, 06:22:54 AM: #2 looks like the Renault Alpine A110-50

And #1 is perhaps the Renault Dezir

Which must mean it's locked for 75america?!

Post by: Paul Jaray on September 23, 2013, 09:26:13 AM: Nope...who will find all of them will have the point.
As you can see the part in the pics is not a small detail and the cars are (not all) quite known.

Post by: 75america on September 23, 2013, 12:34:49 PM: Is #3 a Smart Roadster and #4 an Audi R8?
Title: Re: PJ - 561 Watch those blades!
Post by: Paul Jaray on September 23, 2013, 01:56:26 PM: So far so good...
Title: Re: PJ - 561 Watch those blades!
Post by: Paul Jaray on September 25, 2013, 02:34:44 PM: Humm, I was expecting at least another car to be identified...in the missing pair you have a very nice (and known) car and a pretty obscure one!
Title: Re: PJ - 561 Watch those blades!
Post by: Carnut on September 25, 2013, 06:30:06 PM: Is #6 the well known one - a Porsche Cayman?
Title: Re: PJ - 561 Watch those blades!
Post by: Paul Jaray on September 26, 2013, 03:06:28 AM: Not #6 and no Porsches there.
If you look at the solved ones you should recognize the pattern that links all these cars: a 'side blade' that is more a styling element that a mere air intake. In addition to that it is in a different colour too.
The remaining ones are slightly different because in one the contrast is not that evident (but it's a grey blade in a white, quite known show car) and the other is the real puzzle car, I mean the only car that will need some time to be identified (but following the same pattern). ;)

Post by: Djetset on September 26, 2013, 04:03:33 AM: Is Number 6 a second-generation Smart ForTwo?
Title: Re: PJ - 561 Watch those blades!
Post by: Paul Jaray on September 26, 2013, 05:28:59 AM: Nope, but you are somewhat close...
Title: Re: PJ - 561 Watch those blades!
Post by: Paul Jaray on October 17, 2013, 07:18:32 AM: The missing car (actually the only one that was really 'not easy') is not a Smart and not even from Europe...
BUT
Smart is a very good guess.
Title: Re: PJ - 561 Watch those blades!
Post by: Wendax on October 17, 2013, 07:26:21 AM: Sounds like one of those numberless Chinese Smart clones like Flybo, Huoyun etc.
Title: Re: PJ - 561 Watch those blades!
Post by: Paul Jaray on October 17, 2013, 07:30:41 AM: Sounds like you are very close to your next point... ;)
Title: Re: PJ - 561 Watch those blades!
Post by: Wendax on October 17, 2013, 07:44:08 AM: Must be the Yema Auto M72. ;)
Title: Re: PJ - 561 Watch those blades!
Post by: Wendax on October 17, 2013, 08:07:09 AM: And finally: Is #5 the Citroen GT?
Title: Re: PJ - 561 Watch those blades!
Post by: Paul Jaray on October 17, 2013, 08:40:46 AM: Perfect!

You even found the original pic I used for the Citroen.
1 more point for you!
