The New GTPlanet Scavenger Hunt...

[Famine]

Neither Mazda was sold here. I don't think you can prove otherwise.

I agree - the GT-R version is definitely Japanese market only from what I know. I've never even heard of the other one...

 

[Thirdeye]

I didn't get nearly as many as gashly so I'm not even gonna bother posting mine

Ah screw it, i'll upload em anyways. I got nothing better to do right now.

No way the Honda Passport is equal to the Honda Jazz... but the rest is alright

Most converts with the tops down? It's winter.

I was thinking about that the other day... I was thinking it would be very funny if someone asked for convertibles with the top down... especially funny for those in Michigan and Colorado.

 

[Joey D]

Ya considering tomorrow morning it's going to be 29F, not sure what that is in metric.

I didn't think so either but that's what Wikipedia was saying. I could've sworn the Jazz was the Fit, right?

Ok, I have changed it to an Audi Quattro.

The earlier Honda Jazz was a rebadged version of the Isuzu MU 4WD. Nothing at all to do with the current Jazz/Fit

 

[Thirdeye]

Ah so that might be what they meant. The MU looks very similar to the Passport/Rodeo.

 

[Famine]

Hmm.

Gashlycrumb: 3pt

Good work guys, we got him out of the competition for two weeks straight!... next, we'll take over the world!

 

[GM]

I take it we don't need a picture from every catagory to earn points?

I mean, I could get an old Italian car in the time I have, but no Japanese cars.

Edit - Argh sorry, remebered it's Saturday today :s, past the dealine.

2)Rarest car wins: Looking for a photo of the car with the smallest production run

Took it in Bristol.

 

[Diego440]

That looks like a car show/exhibition...

Moreover, it appears you were in Bristol in mid October, making it out of this week.

Sorry, didn't see that rule.

 

[Diego440]

No probs... either way, keep an eye open for this week's categories, shot within this week

 

[Gashlycrumb]

Good work guys, we got him out of the competition for two weeks straight!... next, we'll take over the world!

I'll remember that.....*pulls out big red pen in preparation for marking Diego's entries*

 

[Gashlycrumb]

Categories for the week ahead:

1)Oldest Orange Car - As it says. If it's old and orange you are onto a winner.

2)Smallest engine with twin exhausts - Twin exhausts used to be the preserve of Hemis and Big-Blocks, apparently no longer. Find the car with the smallest capacity engine with twin exhausts.

3)Spell my name in one photo - Using the first letter of the make or model of cars in ONE photo spell GASHLYCRUMB. Closest to completing the name wins. Ie if you take a photo with a Golf, an Accord, a SEAT and a Matiz you get GAS******M* and would be beaten by someone who gets a photo with a Chevrolet, a Honda, a Unimog, a Leon and a Rio.

4)Most efficient form of transport - Find the most efficient way of transporting humans by car. Judged on the litres of fuel used to transport each passenger 100kms. For example if you photo a car that averages 10L/100kms and can carry 4 people you get 2.5L/100km per person and if you find a car that averages 15L/100kms but seats 8 people (1.9L/100km per person) you win. Buses don't count.

BONUS

[Alex.]

I think this game has lost its appeal. Its not like who is the best eagle eyed spotter, more along the lines of who has the best location for sheer volume of cars and who has the most time on their hands

 

[Famine]

Try telling that to my girlfriend.

*is attempting to spot a car with name starting with a "U"*

 

[Diego440]
