Tough crowd...
I saw Ms Pink today but didn't manage to get a photo. I've lost my mobility for the next 2 days too. My car is in for a service & MOT and it needs a hub flange, whatever that is (I'm sure they've just made it up!)
And I've never seen anything as upmarket than that BMW in such a vile colour...

With this category, do Phases/Facelifts count, or is it only discreet Marks?
For instance... MX-5s. There's Mk1 (MY89-MY98), Mk2 (MY98-MY05) and Mk3 (MY05-) MX-5s. But there's also a facelift Mk2.5 (MY01-MY05). So, if you get all four, is it four or just three? If you get Mk1-Mk3 with no Mk2.5, do you get two (Mk1-Mk2 consecutive) or three?
I raise the point as there's a couple of model sequences with obvious facelifts between Marks which are classed as Facelift or Phase variants and not Marks which, if Phases/Facelifts were included, would give a HUGE number of generations (should you be able to find the early ones) but, if not, would give just three or four.

I was just thinking the same thing.
Generation question: The winner will be determined by highest amount of cars or for complete set?
That's what I assumed - and I'm having a whale of a time with it. I've got nigh-on 12 model lines on the go at once - and it's fun suddenly having to take a detour because I've spotted a random, generic piece of rubbish from 1987 which just happens to have a certain name.
Follow-up question... In my market, the Vauxhall Vectra first appeared in 1995. In, for example, -Diego-'s, it first appeared in 1988 as the Opel Vectra. We got the same car as -Diego- from 1988-1995, but it was called the Vauxhall Cavalier. That means -Diego- can spot the same four cars as me (Vectra A, Vectra B, Vectra C, Vectra D), but I'd only get three of them as the first is a Cavalier despite being the same car.
So... do cars with different names in different territories still count?

Got my car back today, and went a wee run on the look out for li'l miss pink.
Found this instead.
Then we found this
Numberplate was "P17NKV". Obviously going for Pinky, and failing miserably.
Re the Cavalier Vectra point. I was thinking the same but using the Nova/Corsa example. I would assume that would be ok. I've been so caught up in getting li'l miss pink that I've forgotten what the other categories were!

From Left-Right: Commodore VT, VY, VZ
Commodore VX
And finally...
Commodore VE

Does my bum look big in this?
A purple car with the number plate 'Beki' can be proved 100% to be driven by a girl.

I think is should, because many face lifts bring lots of changes. The 1978 VB Commodore is completely different to the 1988 VL, despite technically being the same generation. As wikipedia says concerning the VP to VR 'Approximately 80% of car was new in comparison to the preceding model.', as well as new transmissions, braking systems and engines. It's almost a completely new car.
Just like the 1986 Jaguar XJ is completely different to the 2002 Jaguar XJ.

Sorry, I didn't realise I won!
I'm currently very busy, so here are the catagories I thought up already. If I don't post up the rest by tonight, then someone else can fill in the missing catagories.
Largest Estate Car - The usual purpose of these is to carry as much stuff as possible - the bigger the better! Size determined by length x width x height, as in previous catagories.
Oldest stock car with one windscreen wiper - it's unusual to find a car with one windscreen wiper, but how old can you go?
Bonus - Mercedes SL65 AMG - one point per sighting:

I agree... that particular Type R hasn't appeared around here either. Anyhoo, here's my final entries:
1) Generation Game -
I give you (what I think is all) the generations of the Ford Fiesta.
2) White Van Man on Speed
It came down to the only van I found today, since I kinda lost my list
Some Merc van. I doubt it's as fast as the others posted, but I didn't want to not post.
3) Does my bum look big in this?
After what everyone's posted, it just came down to finding a pink car.
4) Nice car, shame about the colour
Toyota HiLux in freaky green...
Toyota Yaris in the same freaky green...
And Merc CLS Class in burgundy...
All which are nothing compared to...!
(actually, tied) between a 190E Merc in Chrome yellow and a Daihatsu Storia in "cat vomit" green.

I thought the generation game had to be cars parked next to each other or near each other in traffic, not just random photos of a particular car in multiple iterations...
EDIT:
If we want to do hot Hondas (replacing the Type-R), we could do the Integra Type-R, as that was sold in the US, but very rare indeed. Otherwise, my suggestion would be for an older style of GTI possibly?

Imagine trying to find more than 2 successive generations of a single model in one shot.
Mind you, Casio managed that too!

Sorry I have been away so couldn't follow up with your clarifications, but...
If it is the same car then I guess it would count. For example we get both the Mazda MX5 and the Eunos Roadster here but they are really the same car. I wouldn't count it if it is a badge engineering job though.
I'll count facelifts as a .5
