I knew it was El Capitan because it's the only track with that kind of white sand or whatever that's continuous with the track, if you know what I mean. That is, on most tracks there's asphalt, then a white line, then it's grass or sand all of a sudden. Here, the sand layer gets thicker as you get farther from the line. What the heck are you doing in the photo, though? You're awfully sideways for a strip of sand that narrow...

Ha! I'm not even in the sand! I'm still on tarmac. I think you got really lucky with that guess, actually. The pic is basically one of those massive slides that weren't supposed to happen. But it did happen, and made a great pic. 👍

And no it's not a Bluebird. Good guess, though. Guess it's not so obvious after all. But see, that's what happens when 3 different companies ;) try and make a car. You get something unique, yet still common enough.
 
3 different companies? :boggled: The closest I can think of is the Delorean, but that looks nothing like the car in the picture. I'm stumped.
 
oKay. Time for a hint.

That's it! I recognized the car but couldn't place it. Nice job.
 
karmann ghia

yea! Got it!

You guys gotta share the prize, tho.

It's my very first ever GT1 car...my beloved black S13 Q's 1.8. Take good care of it. :(
 
I will drift the fun into it.

Tsuchiya san will be proud.
 
Aww, this topic is dying...

I've got nothing to do, so I'll post something up for you to try and guess. Be warned: it will be hard.

I'll dispense hints freely just in case you're dying to put a pic up tonite, Skyline49. :)
 
That's quite dark and hard to see. Too bad I know it's a Mercedes 190E.

Very good. Wow. Yeah, i guess the tail lights give it away! lol

Actually, the colour is kind of distinct and the body line is very obvious. I'll get something up soon.
 
This is so hard, I had to make 2 images.





Actually, 2 makes it kind of easy.
 
Some sort of GT-R Skyline? I'm guessing the GT-R Vspec 01'...
 
Nope, still not it.

I'd also like to point out that the wheels are aftermarket.

Also, yay Alberta!
 
TVR Cerbera. No, that can't be it. The front fender/windsheild area is all wrong.

How about a Citroen? Citroen Xantia?
 
hmm.. I'll guess again.

some sort of Lancer Evo.. perhaps the VI?
 
That bumper...the way it seems almost artsy, rather than purely functional. Something italian?

A Fiat? :confused: Is that at least a guess in the right direction?
 
Nope to all.

I can't answer your last question, Parnelli, but your first hunch (artsy) is right. It's not really functional.
 
Well i really am stumped.

Stab in the dark....Daihatsu Copin?
 
Sorry, nothing yet. I'll give it a bit longer, then I'll post up another image. Also, there are technically 2 main answers. Maybe that will help.
 
Nope. I can't give another hint tonight, but I'll put one up tomorrow afternoon.
