I can think of a few reasons why it might not be as popular as it should be:
1. Some of the cars are too hard to figure out and that makes too many people think they can't play.
2. People really shouldn't be posting one if they know they're not going to be around for the next hour to respond to guesses.
3. If they're heading off to beddie-byes, they need to post the answer.
4. A lot of people don't know how to post a cropped guess-image up.
It might be simple to us photoshoppers to google an image, save it, crop it and throw it up on something like imageshack and copy the URL and insert it into a post, but that's a lot of steps that might be beyond the web abilities of a lot of people.
Maybe with some much easier ones to guess we'll be able to resurrect it. I'll give it a go with this one:
Hint: There's a US TV show named after the letters of the model (and the mirrors are a clue also if you guessed the car but not the letters).
For example, in my previous posting the car letters were CC8S from the Koenigsegg CC8S, so there would be a TV show called "CC8S".

the majority of cars have been figured out within a few guesses... and the game (if you can call it that) is not reliant upon someone sitting by their computer for the next hour in case someone has a guess.....nor the fact that we are not all in the same time zone (because I'm still here) ...if people were interested in posting photos, a simple question is all it takes.....
It seems all threads lose their interest eventually, even for a short time.... and I 'm sure this one will come back at some point.....
Cheers

no, I don't think I actually agree with you.....

That's ok, save the rules, start another one in a month or so, it'll be just as fun. I've done threads like this one on car forums for years. Seriously, always good fun.

I have been flat over the last couple of weeks, so not had much time to look in, sorry. I still have a good one to post up and will do it tomorrow unless someone beats me to it -- time to get some zzz's now...
