I'm sure I'm not alone in believing that these days too many cars look the same, and in harking back to where they were recognisable at distance from their shape and styling. So can you name these classics from their picture ? I've thrown in a few old bangers (as with the soap quiz ;D) for good measure. One point per correctly named vehicle. Half point awarded at discretion. 1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  7.  8.  9.  10.  11.  12.  13.  14.  15.  16.  17.  18.  19.  20.  21.  Good luck, expecting Q to do really well on this one. ;) |

Fine effort Q, you're a top man !
What's Spag Bog by the way ? Sounds nasty. I had Spag Bol tonite served up by margo.
Anyway, your score is a creditable 14pts. You'll be shocked to learn that 11 and 12 are wrong but I've given you an extra point for finding number 8 the wonderful Facel Vega Facellia. Must be one of the rarest cars in the world. (I spotted your typo 16 when you meant 17 by the way.)
Leader :
Q 14pts.
(8 left to find)

Number 3 is not a Roller, it's slightly smaller. A popular car used at funerals.
Number 7, well, half-point I suppose. I really wanted the answer to the big mofo, and I haven't the faintest idea about the smaller one !

Ok to save this one dragging on, here are the missing answers.
No.3 is an Armstrong-Siddeley Star Sapphire Saloon.
No.7 is a Lanchester.
No.12 is an AC Aceca.
But with 20 points handed out, an extremely good effort.
Final results :
[glow=red,2,300]1. Q 19pts[/glow]
2= Sav 0.5pts
2=Herr van Puebik 0.5pts
