The New GTPlanet Scavenger Hunt...

[Diego440]

I saw a Fiat Punto convertible this morning... too bad I can't enter

 

[Gashlycrumb]

While I remember I'll post my categories as I will be away from a computer for the next week:

1) Generation Game - Get examples of as many generations of a model of your choice. Twist: The generations must be consecutive to count. So if you have photos of a MK1 MX5 a MK3 and a MK4, the MK1 won't count unless you find a MK2.

2) White Van Man on Speed - Find the fastest white commercial van

3) Does my bum look big in this? - A car most likely to be driven by a girl

4)Nice car, shame about the colour - Find a cool car in a hideous colour/colour combination

BONUS - BMW 8 Series

great categories 👍

Question: in the generation game, do the cars have to be parked and/or on the street, or do separate pics count?

Seperate photos are fine

Got to get me one of those 4th generation MX-5's

Doh! Should I make that the extra special bonus car?

Can we have an update please? With sugar on top?

Sooorry for being at work all day. It'll not happen again.

If I'm not too late I've got the slowest convertible right here.

1949 Triumph 2000 Roadster


0-60mph = 24.8 secs

[Famine]

I'm going for 19 hours, 40 minutes too late and photographed at a car show anyway...

 

[Jay.]

0-60 in 24.8 secs, it took me four days to get home, from the other side of town!
Nevermind.

 

[Diego440]

I'm going to have agree with Famine on that one. I'll judge the points later on; I went to bed at 3:30am yesterday, the dog woke me up at 7:00, had to go to work this morning even though I quit yesterday and I've also been playing GT4 all afternoon,... I'm sleepy again.

Meh I'm just messin with you guys

 

[Diego440]

Right, so here's the points:

1. Newest car with 4 headlights
James' (G.T) Multipla gets it. Joey's Firebird [turned out to be from pre 2002].

2. Biggest rear spoiler
Tie between Gashly's something (Kia?) and Joey's Tiburon; they both look about the same height.

3. Slowest convertible
G.T's l337! Ford Zodiac.

4. Largest FWD car
Yssman also had good contender(s) but in the end it went to Joey, with that horrible crossover thing.

Bonus:
Mazda RX-7 FD (1991 to 1999 model), or the one that looks like this:
- Casio
- G.T
- Gashlycrumb

So...


G.T: 3 points
Joey D: 2 points
Gashlycrumb: 2 points
Casio: 1 point

Nice going James 👍

we still love you, Joey

 

[Joey D]

Sweet! I'm finally back in the saddle again.

 

[daan]

points added up.

I'm off this week, so plenty of time to find the girly-driven pink Ka that I see every now and then.

Top chime in for a second, Joey's Firebird that he posted (the white one) was a 1997 at newest. Not a 2003 car. In fact, there were no 2003 cars. The last year they were sold was 2002.

 

[Diego440]

Yikes!

Thanks for that. I knew something was up with the bird, but coultn'd place it. Thanks again. So Joey, it looks like James got it in the end.

Any chance you could take care of that before leaving, daan?

 

[bennyrrr]

Does my Bum look big in this?

There are 5 Beetles in my school parking lot. 2 are this color. Bleh

Nice Car, Shame about the color

Teal with white upholstery, black top, and ugly rims

I'm just off work, but I'm not going anywhere. You're not getting rid of me that easily....

I'll change the scores on the doors

Actually the pewter one I posted up was an 02...my buddy owns it, there are pictures around here with my truck next to it. I must have hit the 3 instead of the 2 during typing though. But no big deal.

Bonus Point:

Girlie Car: And if anyone can find something more girlie then a white, convertible, Caviler I will be surprised.

Except Maybe this, a teal convertible Sunfire.

Shame About the Colour: A Mustard Yellow WRX .

 

[Tornado]

Girlie Car: And if anyone can find something more girlie then a white, convertible, Caviler I will be surprised.

V6 Mustang convertible? Volkswagen Cabrio/New Beetle Cabrio/Eos?

 

[Joey D]

I have never once seen a guy drive a convertible, white, Caviler. I honestly can't think of anything girlier then that other then the teal Sunfire.

A lot of guys drive V6 Mustangs as well as the VW's.

Girlie Car: And if anyone can find something more girlie then a white, convertible, Caviler I will be surprised.

If I see this again, you're all doomed to failure...

 

[Joey D]

Ok that beats me.

 

[Tornado]

Does that licence plate seriously say Ms. Pink? Sweet Christmas.

 

[daan]

Ok that beats me.

Not yet. That picture was taken a few weeks ago and is therfore not eligible.

Does that licence plate seriously say Ms. Pink? Sweet Christmas.

Yes, it attempts to.

 

[YSSMAN]

God, I've been having tough luck with these competitions the past month or two. The 8-series is so outrageously rare around here, I'm going to be lucky to find one. Oh well, I do stand a chance with the girlie cars, among others. We'll see how this week goes.
