Guess the gear shifter.

[Dagger311]

PV 444?
Volvo 750?
P1900?

 

[et_]

You are very close, but still not correct.

 

[Dagger311]

P1026?
P1081?

 

[Huks]

Volvo Amazon?

 

[et_]

Volvo Amazon?

Yes!

 

[Huks]

Nice. Despite being something of a Volvo enthusiast, I actually had no idea the Amazon had such a ridiculously long and nearly vertical gear shifter until I did some Googling just now.

Someone else may take my turn.

 

[Fastcarguy]

Ill take it

 

[et_]

Golf IV?

 

[Fastcarguy]

No, very close. not a VW but it is European.

 

[AlvaroF]

An early 2000's Audi?

 

[Zyla]

A4?

 

[AlvaroF]

I was going to the A6 or A8 because of wood

 

[Fastcarguy]

A4?

SO CLOSE. It is a 4, just not an A.
@AlvaroF Yes 2001

 

[AlvaroF]

S4

I'll give it to @Zyla

 

[Fastcarguy]

S4

I'll give it to @Zyla

Yup, thats the shifter out of my brothers car

Heh, I just read the ricer post about that car doing battle with the Civic of Auto.

Looks a bit cheap, yet the seats and shifter seems kind of sporty.

Fiat of some sort?

 

[ildd]

I can tell it's european because the reverse gear is on the left. Peugeot or a euro-spec VW?

Huh? I know the germans like to put it on the left, but rest of europe? I'm not so sure...
I think almost all manufacturers put it on the right if its a 5 speed atleast.

Point:
Renault Megane
Opel Omega

And there are plenty of manufacturers outside of europe who put it on the left

Point:
Nissan Altima
Ford Ranger

 

[Zyla]

Yes, it's European. No correct guesses yet.

Strange. From a lot of pictures I've seen/general knowledge, the vast majority of cars that had it on the left were European.

Edit- Is it Alfa or Renault?

 

[ZeroTheNorth]

Citroën?

 

[Zyla]

@ildd, one of those guesses is correct.

 

[et_]

Im pretty sure I've found it... Renault 5 turbo?

 

[Zyla]

...yeah.

Next time, try and play the game more fairly and just guess your way to the answer by using the hints.

I still don't get how searching for the answer on Google isn't cheating.

 

[Sixflags48]

If I have no clue where to start guessing, I might just search it, but then I won't answer. I just sit back and see how long it takes for you guys. I would like for a car I know to come by again.

If you insinuate I used Image search, I did'nt!
You said it was either Renault or Alfa, I thought it looked to be late 80's/early 90's, so I searched for "1989 Renault interior" on the 2'nd row was an interior that looked just like it, the text said renault 5 gt turbo. Searched for "5 turbo interior" and found the exact same picture.

And what would be the point for me to cheat? More often than not I let someone else post instead of me.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what he was getting at. Using Google in any way at all for this really seems, to me, to defeat the whole purpose of it.

Nope. It is obvious that we as members of GTPlanet have the knowledge built into our minds of what every shifter on every car would look like. Not knowing something for us is cheating, and we should not look for information we don't know, because some of us, as opposed to others, seem to know every detail about every car that mere mortals don't know even exist.
