OK, the following questions ( one per week ) came out of a long drive back from the Classic Car Show in the NEC in a car of petrolheads.

So week 1 ......

Starting with A, give me 26 car MAKES.
No posting until the letter before has been given.
If you have a list but don't know one, then your guess stops at that letter.

Just for fun ( and some of the later ones get hard )

Sorry Falcon, you lose some of these as you've given MODEL names eg MAZDA Xedos.

Gordon Keeble was an intersting one.
Is 'Checker' the New York cab ? Are they a manufactuer ? or just a builder and painter.

AND their is still the elusive X - which is out there......

Xedos is like lexus to toyota and lincoln to ford so you probly should discount them as well...
Yup cheaker the new york cab they built their own cars they even used their own side valve engine till about the 60s when they used a chevrolet OHV engine and offerd a v8 option as well.
gordan keeble was a nice shortlived chevrolet powerd car its was a great design too space frames and other such advancments and good for 135 mph (for those not in the know)

Well done, you are a better internet surfer than me, although the Xinkai factory seems to produce scooters, elelctric bicycles and other stuff. The Xiali I should have known because these are the standard small size taxi's in Beijing, and I have even been in one of those. Unfortunately names are always spelled "slightly different".

Xanthos I never heard of before but if they can make a Lotus 22 FJ street legal with fenders and all than they certainly qualify.

Well done, but I sense a web search as you've found Xiah and Xinka :)
I'll remember these for next time this iquiz comes up in the car of petroheads - like next week on the road down to the Monte Carlo rally !!

I've already given a hint of what it might be.
So we'll go to another thread for it .......

It was a Lotus 7 owner in our group who knew this already as he wanted one !!
