not to worry. and i am adamant that the international truck company made the scout. plenty of info on it on the net.

FalconGuy · « **Reply #19 on:** May 4, 2004, 04:58PM »

Oh and another Czech car company from memory is Skoda? Though they are owned by Audi now.

And Porshce too, he cam from the Gablonz area of Bohemia (Czechoslovakia after 1919 and the Paris Peace Conference) where he worked for Tatra and nicked the rear air cooled engine layout from them and called it his own.

evenflow_trx · « **Reply #20 on:** May 4, 2004, 05:51PM »

Pringles: nope, sorry mate.

Falconguy: you got 5 right - it was tatra and skoda. Also got 10 right. Rest were wrong. Hehe, chinitto was a good guess but no cigar. +2 karma for you!

Syncope: nope, not Lift. I can't believe no one has guessed it yet.

Urq: lol i doubt that.

noss: I don't know where your other answers went, maybe you are going crazy.

Check the first thread and the answers have been updated.

3: AMC

from the renault website:

Quote

A demand for smaller, more fuel-efficient cars soon arose and European cars seemed to be well adapted to this market. Renault then decided to take its chances, and bought the US firm American Motors Company, along with its plants, network and the Jeep brand in particular. In 1979, Renault acquired a 22.8% equity stake in AMC. Its stake in AMC would rise to 46.4% in 1980, for a total of 55% when including preferred shares.

Pringles · « **Reply #29 on:** May 4, 2004, 09:02PM »

Jtas · « **Reply #30 on:** May 4, 2004, 09:14PM »

Browny_r31 · « **Reply #34 on:** May 4, 2004, 09:59PM »

the first honda hatchback was the honda z360 in early 1960s. was still classified as at hatchbach

noss · « **Reply #35 on:** May 4, 2004, 11:47PM »

i reckon some sly bastard, probably evenflow, deleted my 2nd set of answers.. unless i somehow posted them in a completely unrelated thread? hehe that'd be funny.

Budgie · « **Reply #36 on:** May 4, 2004, 11:50PM »

9. Definatley a Jag of some sort... an E-Type?

Bugatti Type 35B??

lol

noss · « **Reply #37 on:** May 4, 2004, 11:57PM »

technically the z360 is a coupe not a hatch back, groovy little car though. the s800, s600 and 1300 are also coupe's. prior to the s600 hondas were only motorbikes. then there was the civic in 1972, it isnt mentioned as a hatchback, i dont know why, possibly because its only a 2 door hence making it a coupe. the first hatchback (according to honda) was the 6 cylinder accord in 1976/77

edit: after some research & bungling the 1976/77 accord is only a 2 door as well. might have something to do with the squarer rear end on the civic?

Browny_r31 · « **Reply #38 on:** May 5, 2004, 12:20AM »

well just researched abit and the z360 is classified as a coupe to some and a hatch to others and one website said fastback... right yeah.

Asked bro-in-law (auto technicalin at honda) and he says hatch. but alot say coupe. so yeah depends who u ask.

FalconGuy · « **Reply #39 on:** May 5, 2004, 02:04AM »

Hmmm...Number 9, IF its a Jag they're aren't too many choices. I'll try for the 1954 C Type Jaguar (Race Based XK120) if it wasn't that it would have to be the D Type of about 1958 but the again it could be an Aston Marton Dave Brown (DB) or even an old square rigger MG like a TC or TD which were prewar...

Tell us, is it a pommie car?

LoW GLi · « **Reply #40 on:** May 5, 2004, 10:07AM »

The Vanwall Grand Prix car sported a very nice British Racing Green in the early days. The name British Racing Green was named after the team BRM or British Racing Motor

Question 4: Not sure but is it PLYMOUTH

RichTRX · « **Reply #60 on:** May 6, 2004, 02:38PM »

isn't Plymouth's a sailing boat?

Browny_r31 · « **Reply #61 on:** May 6, 2004, 02:42PM »

its the only logo i know of with some sort of boat in it. Throw me a friggin shoe here.

im still right about the Brisish Racing Green i think. The Vanwall Grand Prix Car is the earliest racing car i know of that worn green and the whole it was made by British Racing Motor (hence the name British Racing Green) makes me think im right.
