Vintage Buggy Quiz

[Ema]

Hi guys,
this morning on our Italian RC car forum (www.automodelli.it (http://www.automodelli.it)) one member has submitted to the comunity this nice Excel file ...

Actually the excel file is a vintage buggies quiz, there are some photos and for each photo you have to guess the name of the buggy.

You can download the file here:
http://www.jokerteam.it/rc/quiz.htm (http://www.jokerteam.it/rc/quiz.htm)

A little translation for non italian user :thumbsup::
Insert the correct name of the buggy (without the brand) in the yellow cell under each photo.

After entering the name (when you move to another cell) you will get the result:
No, Riprova = Wrong
Esatto!! = Correct !!

Please note that ther'are some bugs, so for example under the Cat 3000 photo (is it a vintage buggy ??) you have to enter only cat to get "Esatto!!"

If you are really a Vintage buggies guru, your score must be at least 35/40 !!!

Check it out and have fun !!!
Bye Emanuele
P.S. I'm not a really vintage expert, my score is only 12/40 :bored: !!!

Good quiz....

Managed 23 so far... hmmm need to jog my memory on some lol.:thumbsup:

[ralphee]

I got 21, but a few names wouldnt enter in, that is if im right, but that is a TRX 1 no? I should know that as i had both TRX buggies lol.

Also the mid custom sp, if i was right, couldnt find any typing to give me an answer...then again....maybe i was wrong LOL.

Cool quiz, thanks for posting!

[bender]

Got 39 so far, but spent most of my time trying to come up with ways to work out which particular answer it wanted. Stuck on number 19, it will come to me I'm sure.

And the answer for number 20 is wrong:lol:

[Gayo]

31/40 :) Without cheating by reading the name on the decals :thumbdown:

Terry : AFAIK answer 20 is right. The name changed after this body was out.

[terry.sc]

AFAIK the MRC M** (not giving the answer away:p) had a different body. The body pictured was mainly used on the Santana, but now looking VERY closely at the insert picture yes it is right as it has the gearbox is the M** one. I stand corrected.

Anyone got them all yet?

Too bad I dont have excel...:bored:Try Open Office. http://www.openoffice.org/index.html It works with MS Office files and it's free.

[glypo]

Anyone seen my anorak? 38/40 :)

I got 32 from top of head, and got a further 6 my looking closely at the decals (the names are right on the car, nice an' easy). Taken my ages typing in the same model time after time to get it how the spreadsheet wanted, all good fun though.

I got stuck on numbers 3 and 4. If anyone can help with either it would be nice to know for my general knowledge. 3 looks like a Hirobo, but I don't know what. I was tempted to think maybe it's some rare Kyosho that's someone gone under my radar?

[terry.sc]

Okay, got them all now. Only the last one involved looking at the decals:p.

[bender]

I'm stuck on 11.
Looks to be an Optima rip-off. We never saw any of those "clone" cars in Oz so I'm stuck on that one.

[hardrider]

I remember seeing some of these kits in the shops when I was a kid.
Don't remember so many of the model names though haha
I must admit I haven't seen some of the models before but with some cheating (model names visible!) I managed a score of 29 :lol:

Bender, how about giving us the answers?

Oops, link doesn't work, got a gap in it:(
Sorry figured it by typing ending in, my bad

[hardrider]

Cool stuff Terry!

[terry.sc]

Link fixed. I'd just uploaded the original file which has the space in it.

[Welshy40]

I had 39 out of 40, but got stuck on the Road Runner 2, and I had to cheat and use Terry's link. Still Terry could find a few cars that would have most of us would not have a clue.
