1) Bentley Continental GT (dark coloured car) Fiat Panda (white car) 2) FT beat me to it :-P 3) The driver's seat of the continental is empty (i think that's a steering wheel on the right side of the car anyway...) so both cars are stationary. 4) Car wash? >> Feedback on the size of the image appreciated Good enough size but colour & detail are hard to make out (just my excuses in case i got the cars wrong...) EDIT: The colour & detail being a bit off probably makes it a better camera for this type of guess the... post EDIT EDIT: Did you take the picture via the wing mirror? That's pretty cool Last edited by: CraigP on Mon 1 Mar 10 at 17:55 Reply to this message | Report message

The picture appears twice as wide and twice as high as my 1024x768 screen, therefore you could shrink the image file to ¼ of the size oil... sorry, Kharon. Firefox resizes it for me anyhoo. Just to corroborate the opinions above, it's a Beluga Black Bentley Continental GT (quite old I would imagine, as the tyres look reasonably high profile) and your FIAT Panda in White, queuing for an automated car wash. No risk because the Bentley driver's gone in to the shop to pay. Reply to this message | Report message

Well it's definitely a Bentley Continental GT but not sure about the other car or the rest of the stuff. Back end haunches of the car look like they're missing. But the wheels give it away as does the chrome around the windows. Reply to this message | Report message

This is major topic drift for which I deeply apologise but I'll not sleep now until I remember this. It must be the Panda connection because for some random reason I'm am now occupied in trying to recall the name of the captive Panda which was famous for not fancying the girl Panda they brought in for him. Was it "Chi Chi" or something? Sorry ! ;-) Reply to this message | Report message

Belay that. Just checked on Wiki. Chi Chi was a girl. Famously immortalised as the logo for the World Wildlife Fund. Back to your posts...... Reply to this message | Report message

It was Chi Chi yes. Well remembered. (edit: I was wrong too! Weird!) And talking of topic drifting pandas, I imagine most will have seen this, but if not this is amusing, if you have 30 seconds spare. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAcdvmnZ_GM Last edited by: Crankcase on Mon 1 Mar 10 at 19:39 Reply to this message | Report message

Car 1 is the white panda, and its safe because the shot is taken from the passenger side. Car two looks too small to be a bently continental GT, and looks like a new Megan coupe. the fat controller will be along with henry the big sulky green engine to shunt you off in a minute.
