Once we get a decent amount of answer's i will produce the answer..

Good Luck and one guess per member... your first guess counts as your final guess!!


Good Luck!

[Desertfish]

I think we can safely assume this picture was not taken in a Beemer... :p

Must have been something stupid. Some car you would never expect to have a dashing Dashboard like this one... Something small I'd say. Possibly Korean like the Kia Cee'd... :D

[RickT]

TIP....

Does the aircon dials look like the opnes in the MK5 golf, Passat, Touran etc etc...

Do the Electric windows switch look like a MK5 Golfs???

Rick

[Dudey Head]

Something Vauxhall.

[dickymint]

Probably a mile off the correct answer but I'll go for a Nissan Qushqui. a similar size 4x4 to a VW Tiguan.

[MalcQV]

Fiat?

[Sam]

It's a complete VAG rip off and as most Korean cars seem to be carbon copies of older models, I'm going to go with something Korean too.

[Hex69]

Seat Ibiza?

[Dudey Head]

Something Vauxhall.

That screen in the dash is very Vauxhall & my brother had a new Astra SRi as a company car which, it has to said, was a very good car with a very clean-cut interior & very similar dash to this from I remember, as it has been a couple of months ago since he had it.
Just thought I'd elaborate on my previous four syllable grunt! :D

[dansansome]

kia cee'd or however its bloody spelt

[adstalker]

Dash is from the Kia Cee'd

[Crasher]

HVAC is a VAG copy but the door buttons look Jap.

[gingera3]

Im pretty sure the 1st pic is a Merc........not sure what model though, seems a bit plane looking.

[Clinterous]

Chair?

[paul b]

It looks a bit Jap to me... is it from a Honda sumat or other ?

Paul

[dansansome]

i've changed my mind.

[dansansome]

as much as i admire JMs literary genius (i read his TG mag column) i think i would have to say my affections are firmly rested with TG and not towards any one of the presenters.

[Dudey Head]

Well done smarty pants Sansome! :p
I still say it looks Vauxhallish though.

[Crasher]

Do they buy the heater controls from VW? I know they say imitation is the finest form of flattery but if I was VW I would be very annoyed. Mind you, I bet the ones on a Kia won't go wrong...

[Desertfish]

I've been told that some 20 odd years ago, Skoda used to buy VW windscreen whiper motors and used them as engines...

[Crasher]

My sort of Whiper motor!

[Ben]

you looked on the internet and found that!!!

[Crasher]

:D

[MalcQV]

you looked on the internet and found that!!!

Well it did have something that looked remotely car like on it :p It would obscure your view from inside [the car] :D

[dansansome]

so it wasnt the dacia sandero? :(





My sort of Whiper motor!


i'd never manage to drive anywhere. :naughty:

[Desertfish]

My sort of Whiper motor!

Those whiper motorsd also fit on a Passat B5...?

[Dudey Head]

Dang! That'd be fun changing the blades! :bigeyes:

Daewoo appeared to buy the old Astra blueprints (around K, L, M plate) and turn them into their latest and greatest heap a few years ago, perhaps it's an Eastern Market thing?

[Dudey Head]

I remember those, they were blatantly old Astra's with a few nicks & tucks.
As Vauxhall move with the times & make what are, IMO, pretty good cars Daewoo take their hand-me-downs & put a few extra curves in'em! Most curious indeedy!!

[dansansome]

mazda did the same thing with the fiesta too didnt they?

[Dudey Head]

mazda did the same thing with the fiesta too didnt they?

Wasn't that a proper collaboration between Ford & Mazda rather than Mazda just making an old Fiesta with some new curves here & there? Weren't they out at the same time?
Seen to recall reading something, somewhere, along those lines.

[dansansome]

i thought mazda did actually buy the design rights to it. i think they appeared after ford moved to the reshaped/facelift model.

not 100% on this tho.

[Sam]

Mazda 121 :)

[dansansome]

was that number in reference to their global sales figure?

[Sam]

Heh, no, the model of the Mazda Fiesta

[Dudey Head]

was that number in reference to their global sales figure?

No, that's the engine capacity! :D

[Desertfish]

121L engine...? How did they fit that in such a little car...? And what's the fuel economy on these things...? And the acceleration and top speed...?

[Dudey Head]

121L engine...? How did they fit that in such a little car...? And what's the fuel economy on these things...? And the acceleration and top speed...?

Yup, it's the worlds first V80, built using nano-technology so it fits neatly in a Fiesta! Clever, eh? :D

[MalcQV]

M-I-L has a 121 aka, Fiesta. All the parts say Ford on apart from the rear badge which says Mazda 121. Mind you having never removed the rear badge and looked on the back of it....:p

Seriously you do not buy the Mazda part it is so much more expensive and it plainly states Ford on it.

That seems like a blatant swindle! How do they get away with that?

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA... I can see the slogan already: "Mazda 121: Built with parts Found-On-Rubbish-Dump"...

[Dudey Head]

Found-On-Rubbish-Dump"...
I like that, a mate of mine's got a Mondeo, I'll pass that onto him! :D

[Desertfish]

Ex-Ms D'fish really liked it when I made that joke about her Focus... She in return referred to my car as a Vauxhall "Ashtray"...

No smartypants, I didn't give the 'something' a capital so it doesn't count! I anticipated that one! :p

[Desertfish]

:confused:

You're slipping man... first you change your mind in the dashboard guessing contest (although you had the right answer first time around), now this... It makes me wonder... You sure the creaking comes from your car...?

Maybe you pay Crasher a visit and let his mechanic check out those creaky bits... Maybe in the mean time Crasher can also check your car... And if they can't find anything, you can always drive away with a nice set of new winscreen whipers... :D

[Desertfish]

Or should that be: "Crasher takes bits out of your car, swings them around his garage, then goes reading the Guardian while Captain Answer cleans up the mess...

[Desertfish]

... for free! :D

Listen Paul; Columbo already came close once in discovering my true identity by calling me a "madman" after my little escapade on page 20 in the VAG Cafe... Now I don't need to whole world to know that on several occasions I have been refused treatment in a psychiatric clinic because I was considered heavily overqualified... do I?

You need to read the whole post man (or at least the whole sentance)... not just chop bits of and then come to the wrong conclusions...
