With thanks to Papa Hotel in the lounge...

I post a fact about my car, the next poster beats it, posts a different fact about their car, the next poster beats it, posts a different fact about their car. You get the idea.

No winning with one car and then picking another car from your fleet. Same car must be used.

That's nice, unfortunately irrelevant unless it has more than 8 cylinders.

Does it?!

Some people aren't grasping the idea of this thread. It may go slowly until someone with an E60 M5 or an SL600 turns up!

You should at least have to say what the damn car is.
Also a picture should be required.
Also any category whatsoever should be allowed eg "tallest spoiler", "most exhausts", "most dented pannels"

Then maybe you'd have a thread.

So let me get this right next car must have more than 8 cyl to move on

What happened to top trumps I knew where it wasn't just the highest number that won....

Set the rules out better and mandatory inclusion of pics and it might just fly as a thread - right now it's a rubbish read and not much of a thread either

Judging by the way this is going you should have included number of airbags as an option wink

I like the idea of "any category goes" so I'll start with this one.

"Most ridiculous forward facing lights"

Sierra Sapphire.
8 separate lights illuminated.
(2x main beam, 2x auxiliary spots, 2 up 2 down spots.)


(Yes, I'm fully aware my numberplate is squint!)
