Geoguessr, but with cars.

I hope most of you are aware of what Geoguessr is. It's basically a game where you're randomly plop down on Google Streetview and you have to guess where you are.

This is Geoguessr, but with cars. I've attached 10 pictures of cars I've captured on Google Streetview, you have to answer in which country these picture are taken (bonus e-point for which city it is).

Yap, this thread flopped and died of death. But I still got to give the correct answer.

1 Philippines 
2 Mandalay, Myanmar
3 Munich, Germany
4 Baja California, Mexico
5 Vladivostok, Russia
6 Mongolia
7 South Africa
8 Gibraltar
9 Argentina
10 Stockholm, Sweden

It is a good game, but needs a lot of time if there are no proper clues in the picture. Number 2 caught my attention as there is a decent clue to the country, but not (as far as I can see) for the Town.

men wear sarongs in most countries in n SE Asia, but a decent start would be Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia or Thailand. RHD predominantly Japanese brands driving on the right? Other than the border crossing roads into Myanmar and Thailand, still likely to be Myanmar, but could still be the others.

Black plates means not Laos, Cambodia or Thai. So Myanmar. The pale yellow plate on the white car is a massive clue. Myanmar car registered to a temple. Monks and their henchmen don’t need to pay at toll booths.

i can’t see any specific clue that says Mandalay though. Can you?

Yeah, good observation. Indeed it is not intended for the town to be guess.

 

Maybe I should add some specific clues to the answers?



1 this L300 is specific to the Philippines, still being sold today.
2 intended answer indeed is only Myanmar. I do specifically remembers it to be Mandalay though so I added that.

3 easy, interesting enough it is right in front of the BMW Museum in Munich.

4 also easy Mexico.

5 can be inferred as Eastern Russia, where many crap old JDM cars are also being driving on the right. Vladivostok in this case.

6 crap old Prius is very popular in Mongolia, it is the most popular car there.

7 South Africa, probably not straight forward, but not that hard a guess either.

8 The number plate is clearly seen so probably can be figured out with some times.

9 Probably one the hardest, it could be anywhere in South America.

10 probably have to go with feeling on this one. but hey old Volvo and big spotlight.

 

It was fun to make regardless. 😀

I would defy anyone other than the owner of the car to get number 5! Mongolia had that RHD driving on the right thing going on. But zero clue to specifics! 
 

i didn’t see the thread till after the answers were given, but I’d be happy to have a crack at a second set. I’m reasonably well travelled and enjoy a challenge but I would have got 2 out of 10 there, no points for cities.
