Here are nine heavily cropped photos of various parts of recent and historic rally cars. Each photo depicts certain unique features that make the car unmistakable. Can you name each manufacturer and model? Good luck!

I think the Pajero has more of a vertical bacend, that looks like it is sloped. But you definately have more than I do Rsquire.
I only got the Golf, the Corrola, and the Megane Maxi.
Is #1 a Cosworth?
Also maybe a Saxo for #9?
Just throwing out wild guesses.

Mike

Edit: Guessed on #9

Well, that was quick!

Right except for your guesses, rsquire.

#9 is a trick question, but you're British, right?, so you have a shot...

Thinking about yes it is British because of the GKN Sport sponsorship..

There were some models of the pajaero that did have a very sloping rear..

But Damn... major head scratching going on here now.... http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/lol.gif

#4 is also british ( Y reg ) LOL Not a Morris Marina http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Is #9 a RallyX car? http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/confused.gif

#9 for some reason looks like an A2 Golf, take away the wing and close 1 eye http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/wink.gif.
You know those Rally-x cars can look pretty silly sometimes.

Mike

I think #1 is a Toyota 2.0 Trubo Celica.

RALLY ON /////////////////

Yeah by the looks of that air-water intercooler #1 looks like an Altrac turbo.

Tony

What, no Stratos? http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif

-Dan

Tom is correct.

I've got a three foot tall stack of rally magazines and a scanner. Maybe I'll do this again. If I do, I'll be sure to include a Stratos in future editions.

What! No Group B Audi Quattro, or Ur-Quattro?

#4 and #9 haven't been solved yet??

Richard

9# I think this is a car that is used in the Europe Ice racing events, It may be a ALFA ? or some thing like it. RALLY ON //////http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif

#4 is incredibly simple.

#9 is a trick. Hint: it's not a factory entry.

OK, one last try 205 T-16 ? if not I give up http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif RALLY ON //////

#4 Escort Cossie? The 70's version?

I don't think #4 is an Escort.. Might be wrong though.. The pic seems to suggest some sort of "hump" on the hood looking at the line in the top left of the pic.

Aaaarg *pulls hair out* I know that car


#9 YEah I was thinking 205 but I don't think they had that much slope on the rear window.

Richard

Number 4 looks like a skoda or lada.. lol

Number 9 is a peugeot ?

J.

Ding ding ding!

#4 is a Lada

#9 is a Peugeot 306, but it is a U.K. clubman car with a Metro 6R4 drivetrain and (I assume) the wing is not stock, making the picture misleading.

Very entertaining! Whip up another, Jon. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif

Nice Quiz Jon..

Good fun..

Trust Jason to know his Lada's http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/lol.gif

Richard

That was fun http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif

Who's next?

what is a lada?http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/confused.gif

[This message has been edited by STiShawn (edited February 14, 2001).]

Lada were originally various Fiat models built under licence one of the "iron curtain" countries.

<various parts of recent and historic rally cars.>

No 96, Healey 3000, Mini, Stratos, or Quattro? Historic?

It is remarkable that I was unable to include every rally car throughout history in the nine images. I've been considering quitting my job and devoting my life full-time to cataloging grainy thumbnails of Hillmans, Triumphs and Austins. Until I'm ready to make that commitment, however, you'll just have to grit your teeth and suffer with whatever I happen to find in the issues of Rally, RallySport, RallyXS that litter my bathroom floor.

Holy ****e...

I got them right.. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif

The first time ever, I get a quiz right..and there isnt a prize... doh!!

heehee

J.

ps - Great work Jon... more piccies please http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif

I originally ran this quiz in the local SCCA newsletter, which I used to edit. The prize was iirc a night of all drinks on me at the HQ of the upcoming Maine Forest Winter Rally (now defunct). Thankfully, nobody guessed them all.

I'll have to think up a prize for the next one, which I will post this weekend. With all the Brits on this board, I'll up the difficulty a bit.

...but I'll be sure to include a few simple ones for our friends down under.

5 is a Golf..7 is a Corolla WRC..the rest i give up. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/smile.gif
