With the March Car pack slated to come out next Tuesday, it’s time for the clue thread. Consider this your chance to get some insight into the cars of the pack…if you have what it takes to figure out my clues.
If you haven’t played along with the clue thread before it’s pretty simple. Be good to one another. This is not a wish list thread. Limit your guesses to one post, although you can edit your post.
Things to keep in mind. The clues are deliberately vague and cryptic. It is not my goal to have you guess the cars of the pack, even though you smart pants people usually do no matter how hard I try and make them.
I will check the thread up through Tuesday, and will like posts that contain correct answers or witty responses. I may post about how many cars have been guessed correctly. So look for my likes and posts for additional hints.
I will be debuting the car pack and explaining the clues in the #TuesdayDrive on Mixer and Twitch at 10 a.m. Tuesday. Join us!
Now have fun!
Car 1
Better than coffee and rolls with butter and jam.
Car 2
People may walk for fun here, but it’s more fun to drive there.
Car 3
You may go even faster if you hit the brakes without knowing what you are doing.
Car 4
It may have done no better than fourth place, but it led the way to a return to victory.
Car 5
“Show me a good loser, and I will show you a loser.”
Car 6
Love him or hate him, he has accomplished what few have in racing.
Car 7
What turns your crank? Turbos? Supercharging? Electrics?
Car 1
Better than coffee and rolls with butter and jam. Traditional French breakfast. Does that mean a French car? Peugeot? Citroen? Renault? Alpine?
Car 2
People may walk for fun here, but it’s more fun to drive there.
Car 3
You may go even faster if you hit the brakes without knowing what you are doing. The 1918 Stutz Bearcat. It had a central throttle pedal with the clutch and brake to the right and left.
Car 4
It may have done no better than fourth place, but it led the way to a return to victory.
Car 5
“Show me a good loser, and I will show you a loser.”
Car 6
Love him or hate him, he has accomplished what few have in racing. McLaren Senna?
Car 7
What turns your crank? Turbos? Supercharging? Electrics?
More than just French, that is known as a “Continental Breakfast” (vs the traditional Full Breakfast which is the classic greasy fry-up of bacon, sausages, eggs etc). So that could also mean a Lincoln Continental or another version of the Bentley Continental.
Clue 1 I have no clue but there’s an article online that states it’s better than coffee so McLaren 720 upon further reading and the French breakfast tie in listed in another post how about the Matra-Simca MS670
Clue 2 People walk the Mackinac bridge for fun, its more fun to drive anywhere than walk. The bridge is famous for a yugo blowing off the bridge (among other reasons) so Yugo GV is my guess for this one.
Clue 3 Ford Model T and it’s confusing pedal arrangement
Clue 4 Porsche 906 or Aston Martin B09/60
Clue 5 is a quote from Paul Newman who voiced Doc in cars so I’m guessing the return of the Hudson Hornet
Clue 6 I’m guessing either SCG 004S or Hennessey Exorcist Camaro
Clue 7 the new volvo xc90 t8 is twin charged and a hybrid electric so that’s my guess
That’s better than what was coming up with. The quote is also attributed to Vince Lombardi. When I searched Vince Lombardi cars I got multiple links to a story from last year where the car transporting the Vince Lombardi trophy hit a deer. Since the car involved in the accident wasn’t named so that left the deer. There’s no way T10 would be adding a John Deere tractor.
I would honestly guess that for Car 6 since Jimmie Johnson tied the record of Nascar championships with 7, and could pass that.
For the other cars, based on other guesses and mine…
Car 1: Renault Alpine A110 (new one)
Car 2: Delorean
Car 3: Either the Rimac Concept-One or 2020 Tesla Roadster?
Car 4: Not entirely sure but probably a racecar so… Lexus RC F GT3 or Acura NSX GT3
Car 5: Hudson Hornet
Car 6: Jimmie Johnson Lowes Chevy Camaro
Car 7: 3 guesses here: Jaguar C-X75, Lamborghini Asterion, or McLaren Senna
Car 1. Thinking of a european sports car
Car 2. Have no idea
Car 3. Thinking some kind of electric sports or hypercar where you can replenish horsepower using brakes… Nio ep9?
Car 4. Lotus europa group 5
Car 5. Have no idea
Car 6. Either a brabham or Schumacher f1
Car 7. Rimac concept
