In 2 today. Would have been in 1 but thought I’d clever and put that it was the ‘rarer’ one due to the splitter.

One of my Morgan attempts was 4 Plus 4.

It reminds me of the DMC-12 De Lorean or whatever the correct answer for that one was. It's a slight annoyance when it comes down to what's typed in rather than whether you know it or not.

I've yet to check today's.

Annoyingly in 4 today. Skirted around the edges with 2 guesses and passed on second one.

My first guess too.

Rather annoyed to have typed out... Ford Sierra Cosworth in full only to go back and change 'Sierra' to 'Escort' before submitting my guess ... rage

Knew what it was but didn't put a couple of capitalised letters within the description so failed!
I didn't put in the capitalised letters either but the answer was accepted...

That's strange because I didn't put those letters at all and I got it.
I just put the make, model and engine builder.

In one, but took four attempts to write the answer in a way the site deemed acceptable.

One of my all time favourite cars.

But the Morgan isn't - and never has been - known as a "4 Plus 4". So it's wrong. I can't remember what the actual answer was for the DeLorean, but given that they only ever made one car and it wouldn't accept things like DMC DeLorean, that one was brutally harsh.

After days of striking out (including grumbling over Morgan nomenclature, in which I claim a moral victory), I've bagged it in two today.

My first guess was its younger and even more joyrider-prone stablemate, before kicking myself after realising that the paint colour ought to have given it away.

I did the same. And then with the second go went only slightly younger with an Escort RS only before kicking myself at the moonstone blue.

Today's is a right pain. I should have got it in one but I was wrong because the car has an additional part fitted.

Once the day is out I would be interested to learn what it was.

All you guys who whine and whinge about knowing it but not getting it earlier, it's a game, it's not a league table and nobody actually cares how many you took laugh

So competitive while I'm going "meh".

Exactly. It’s there for fun. Enjoy it, as the alternative is to lose it!

(I think) it’s because it is a normal Sierra RS Cosworth but it has an RS500 splitter fitted

In one today. I'm a bit of fan boy of the car. Never afford one now
