Scavenger Hunt Week 12 - check post 1 for details.

[Dougboy]

This car was literally right in front of my house. Someone on my street must own it and i never knew about it. Although there are RS6 badges on the back and on the front grill, this car didnt look very RS6-ish to me. So its up to you Doug to decide.

It isn't an RS6. The RS6 is much more muscular than this and that badge is too short for RS6 - it's probably 'just' an S6.

You're right Cracker. A closer look at the pic shows that its only an S6. I guess i was too excited at the time

Quickest Wagon

Liberty Wagon STi?

That's not a Liberty/Legacy it's a Subaru Forester (Based on the impreza)

 

[Dougboy]

And that looks to be a first gen Forester. I dont think they made an STI version until the second gen.

 

[Gashlycrumb]

I would say that it is a s/tb which has the 130KW 2.0l flat-4 with the TF035 Turbo. Acceleration 0-100Km/h is about 8.4 secs.

 

[YSSMAN]

Bah! I'm pissed that I forgot the RAZR today! There was one stellar example of a crapped-out Chevrolet, a late-model Monte Carlo (circa '84?) parked outside my job. Bah!

Anyway, I got a Rio... I want at least one point...

 

[Dougboy]

where is Doug?

 

[YSSMAN]

He won't be back until later tonight, I thought... Some kind of trip or something...

 

[1X83Z]

Sorry - back.

You're up, Casio!

 

[Casio]

You're up, Casio!

Ok, here we go without much thought. Any problems let me know so I can change them before anyone goes car hunting.

• Most Powerful (HP) 6-Cylinder NATURALLY ASPIRATED Engine

For further clarification. No Turbos or Superchargers. Any cylinder configuration is fine.

• Slowest (0-60) RED Car.

Red isn't always fast. This category proves it. Someone go and find a red 2CV now! In the event of a tie the brightest most race car red wins!

• I-Wanna-Be a rally car (Dirtiest 'Rally' car)
  

The dirtiest car that has competed in world rally championship at any stage ever. Impreza's, Lancers, Escorts, Corollas, etc. Any model will do, ie, it doesn't have to be an EVO lancer, any Lancer will do fine.

• When I grow up I want to be him! (Biggest Size difference)

A huge car, parked/driving next too a tiny one. Winner will be calculated by height.

BONUS: Mazda Mazdaspeed 3/Mazda 3 MPS

Still pretty uncommon, but not out of this world rare

Deadline exactly 7 days from this post

Do we get/have we ever had, the Camry in Europe?

 

[Casio]

Do we get/have we ever had, the Camry in Europe?

I looked on Wiki at the Camry and it did say that it was in Europe on some generations (Including the first), but not others. So I just assumed you guys had it all the time, but I'll change it to the Mazdaspeed 3/Mazda 3 MPS, if everyone gets that?

👍 I checked too, we did get it for a few years a couple of generations ago in the UK. No mention that it was ever sold in Europe.

A quick look on Autotrader shows 30 available countrywide for sale. Compare that to 60 Gallardos, 41 Ferrari 575Ms and over 200 Ferrari 360s and you see how common Camry's are in the UK.

Mazda 3's are a good replacement 👍

 

[Gashlycrumb]

I need to move to the UK. I want to live in a country where there are 2 Gallardos for every Camry

 

[Diego440]

So are we going for Camrys or Mazda3s?

 

[Casio]

Changed to Mazdaspeed 3/Mazda 3 MPS

 

[Famine]

I hate you all. There's a Camry on my street.

 

[YSSMAN]

What Camry were we looking for?

...You do realize it has been the best-selling car in the US since the late '90s, right?

===

Either way, good categories!

 

[Slicks]

Slowest (0-60) RED Car.
Red isn't always fast. This category proves it. Someone go and find a red 2CV now! In the event of a tie the brightest most race car red wins!

Only red, or can it be red-and-another-color?

 

[Casio]

What Camry were we looking for?

Originally One camry from all 6 generations.

Only red, or can it be red-and-another-color?

I don't mind really, as long as the paint is the majority red.

 

[Joey D]

Leaderboard is up to date.

 

[Casio]

I forgot to add. The deadline is exactly 7 days from my what to look for post. Which was at 8pm AEST.

 

[Joey D]

When I grow up I want to be him..this made me laugh.

 

[Diego440]

Only in London!

When I went there I took a pic of a Rolls Royce, parked next to a Bentley, parked next to another huge Rolls Royce, next to a Fiesta... the Fiesta looked so out of place.

 

[Venari]

When I grow up I want to be him..this made me laugh.

When the latter hits the former, you don't want to be inside the G-Wiz. They're classed as a cyclecar, so they don't have to go through any crash regs to be on the road. Anyone who has seen the crash photos in the motoring press will be wondering 'why would you?'

Good photo though.

 

[Joey D]

It was at the Dorchester too, I'm guessing the guy in the small car sold his big car to pay for the room.

If it was length, you'd be laughing but...

Winner will be calculated by height.

 

[Joey D]

Oh oops I didn't see that, oh well. I'm still glad I got the picture. The G-Wiz is £3,999 where as the Rolls is £219,975. That means the Rolls is 55 times more expensive then the G-Whiz.

These things sort of hit you when seeing such a lineup. When I saw Ralph's Veyron I should've said, 'Ralph - your car cost 48 times more than mine... when mine was new.' These days it's about 95 times more!
