I'd be interested to know if there are any of these our Non UK friends don't know.

There are plenty I'm not familiar with, but oftentimes car manufacturers rename cars differently based on the regions they're selling in. So I might know what a Ford Sierra is, for example, if they're sold here under a different name.

Excellent, mine does not even feature LOL

Suppose thats a good thing.

I am suprised that the Citroen Saxo is not on there. All the kids love those cars round my way. Nice big body kits and pathetic engines The Corsa/Saxo/Fiesta models are always the first to go missing normally.
Along with the older Vauxhall Nova those things get nicked so much they must just drive into backstreets on themselves
