||
| kraftwerk |
Not Borgward. Nice links! | ||

| DarthBalls |
Is it Russian? | ||
| kraftwerk |
Not Russian. | ||
| DarthBalls |
Is it Soviet Bloc?
(I'm determined to get at least one of these!). |
||
| kraftwerk |
Not Soviet Bloc. | ||
| Big TC |
Is it Japanese? | ||
| BeN |
Japanese? | ||
| Big TC |
Hey BeN - great minds...... | ||
| kraftwerk |
Not Japanese | ||
| DarthBalls |
Is it South American? | ||

Is it alot newer than the grainy photo suggests? | ||

No | ||
| Big TC |
Is it from the USofA? (Although I doubt it...) | ||

Not USA | ||
| DarthBalls |

| DarthBalls |
I hate this game 
|
||
| Big TC |
Gotta be French, then.....? | ||
| kraftwerk |
Not French | ||
| Big TC |
Ah, then it's German.... | ||
| kraftwerk |
Not German. Not really. Only a bit. | ||
| Big TC |
The engine bit? Seeing as it appears to be at the back - VW? | ||
| kraftwerk |
VW is right, but I need the detail. | ||
| Big TC |
Can't find the detail, sorry. So I'm out.... | ||
| BeN |
Is this the longest we've been so far without a correct answer? | ||
| kraftwerk |
No takers, then? Where's Colin, CBacon etc? | ||
| D. |
Well it's very similar to the VW 1500/1600. Possibly South American. But I can't find anything with that grille. | ||
| kraftwerk |
It's not South American. | ||
| Big TC |
Is it a Turkish VW?
(Shit, I thought I'd weaned myelf off this thread...) |
||
| DarthBalls |
Is it a Greek Audi? | ||
| kraftwerk |
Not Turkish | ||
| DarthBalls |
Spanish? | ||
| kraftwerk |
Not Spanish, nor Greek. | ||
| Giant |
Since we seem to be running out of obscure (car manufacture wise) nations, is it British? | ||
| kraftwerk |
No, not British. | ||
| Big TC |
Is it from Outer Space?
Or India? |
||
| kraftwerk |
India's close, but still no cigar. | ||
| DarthBalls |
Pakistan? | ||
| kraftwerk |
Not Pakistan. | ||
| Big TC |
But its Asian, right?
Maybe could it be Korean? |
||
| DarthBalls |
Does it end with 'istan'? |
||
| kraftwerk |
It's Asian, but not an 'istan, nor Korean. | ||
| DarthBalls |
Malaysian - some sort of proto-Proton? | ||
| kraftwerk |
Nope | ||
| DarthBalls |
Did I say that I hate this game? | ||
| kraftwerk |
Once or twice. | ||
| BeN |
It's not a Proton.
Middle Eastern? No 'Name this car' has ever extended to a second page before... |
||
| DarthBalls |
I know - I just wanted to type 'proto-Proton'. 
|
||
| kraftwerk |
Not middle-eastern, no. Proto-Proton does have a nice ring to it. Like 'A pre-Kia' maybe. | ||
| kraftwerk |
So, no takers on this one, then? | ||
| cbeaks1 |
Chinese built knockdown VW aircooled 1300 something or other? | ||
| cbeaks1 |
Vietnam maybe? | ||
| kraftwerk |
Tell me more... |
||
| cbeaks1 |
I was guessing. No amount of googling has helped so far. | ||
| kraftwerk |
OK, shall I tell you? | ||
| cbeaks1 |
Go on then. If its a Chinese built knockdown VW aircooled 1300 something or other can I claim a small prize? | ||
| kraftwerk |
One special fried rice and a portion of chicken with bamboo shoots and water chestnuts is yours to collect at any time. My God, I'm hungry now.
It's actually a VW Jinggansham, a 1958 Chinese-built model, of which there were only a handful manufactured. |
||
| BeN |
My, even I haven't heard of it.
Just nice for Chinese New Year, mind.
