Very happy to win 3 points last week. Here are my categories for next week...
Category 1 - Do 4 rear lights really mean ‘super’?
Lamborghini, Ferrari, Zonda, Corvette... Supercar makers have been using this design cue for years, but does that mean only fast cars can have four round rear lights? Let's find out. Slowest car (must be stock) with 4 round rear lights wins a point.
Category 2 - Cigarette Paper Challenge - Closest Parked Proximity
Two cars parked nose to tail with the closest visible proximity. The cars must not be touching and parked with no occupants. The cars in question mustn't have been placed so on purpose by you or your mates. One point for the closest.
Category 3 - Light Fantastic – Best Power to Weight Ratio
Does what it says on the tin – the road car with the best power to weight ratio. One point for the best.
Category 4 – Excessive Eighties – Fastest 80’s Road Car
The 80’s was a great time of excess in the supercar business, with Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini trying to outdo each other with the F40, 959 and Countach respectively at the top end and the 911, 308, and Jalpa at the ‘bottom’ end. Many other companies were in on it too with Aston, Chevrolet and Lotus all coming out with the latest incarnations of their supercars. But, how many of these notoriously difficult to live with cars exist as daily drivers today? Or is it the more mundane cars that survive to this day. We’ll see – one point for the fastest (top speed) 80’s road car, people.
Bonus - Rainbow 6 - Six Colours of the Rainbow
Six cars (in different pictures is fine) in six colours of the rainbow (I left off indigo)
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet (purple).
One point for a clean sweep, or one point to the person with the most colours. In a tie-break situation, highest total value of the cars wins.
. I'm not from North America though so I suspect that would either be the European or Japanese (if there is such a thing) spec.
