This image is currently doing the rounds on Tumblr of Seths Minx  this guy put it up asking what it was and then even after I said what it was people are still trying to figure it out! Look at the notes below on the link... So far people reckon it is a 87 Corolla KE70 wagon, some kind of Datsun, A VW Squareback... It made me chuckle a bit! People really think from that angle it looks Japanese! What has your car been mistaken for in the past? |

My Mustang gets mistaken for a Toyota. Covered all the options now? Don't get me started on stupid people. I don't mind people who don't know and thus need to ask but idiots who think they know get my goat. |

 Mk3 cortina 2 door = Mustang. Did have one fella think it was a victor FD once (but he had very thick glasses) |

To get a standard A40 this low, you'd have to dig a hole to put it in |

My MX5 is apparently a Porsche Boxster according to a chap I took a mate of mine to buy a Puma from. Fair enough.

I had one bloke who saw my P6, pointed at it, and said 'y'know, that's just like a Rover P6 isn't it! What is it?'

The most common guess for my VW Type 3 (see sig) is that it is some kind of Saab.

My Toledo is mistaken for a Dolomite 99% of the time, but in fairness, it pretty much is. An Imp once.
The Olympic (on the few occasions I have driven it) has been called a Porsche and TVR.
