    I was wondering why it was taking so long after my first hint.

    Ignore. Damn windows phone won't talk to itself.

    I don't understand. You mean you somehow place the whole image into google and ask it to search for that image? Like a face recognition app or something?

    You can upload an image in Google image search and it will show images from its caches and indexes that it figures are similar. You can also do this with a right click in Chrome. They've had this for a few years but it's really good now.

    Well, I hope this thread doesn't suffer that fate. I quite enjoyed searching cars on google that I thought were the right one. Some I got right, some I just missed by seconds of another poster but I only every used deductive guess work and leg work, not image recognition. :(

    Any of the cars that I identified I just knew myself. Like the Monza and then I pulled up a picture just to check and make sure I wasn't making a fool of myself. The ones I didn't have a clue about I then tried in Google search and only in one or two cases (like the Almera wing) did it find a match. It would be pointless as well as unsporting to then supply an answer.

    Feel free to post again or someone else go. I have to head off from here.
