    OK, OK:

    "Greece fires are so hard to put out. You can't use water, you know."

    No?

    Ok:

    "No, no, it's not 'Ash for Clunkers' it's 'Cash for Clunkers.'"

    If SmartCars are so smart, why did that one just sit there and let itself burn up?

    I think all of these have been amply identified, so I'll just make a smart ass response. In keeping with the Graeco-Gross themes.

    #1 is I think a Peugeot 404-it was really fast and could outrun a Diesel Austin Cambridge, but not this fire.

    #5 is an Innocenti Mini from the 1970s. This was basically a British Leyalnd Mini rebodied by Bertone.

    @brandegee: Hot addition called the De Tomaso. After '82 they all came with Daihatsu 3 cylinder engines and 5 speed boxes, the De Tomasos coming with the turbo 100 bhp engine from the Charade GTti.

    Number one looks like a Rover P6, 2 is a fire truck, 3 is a Smart car, 4 is probably an Opel Manta, 5 is a Fiat, 6 is a Citroen 2CV, 7 is a W126, and 8 appears to be a Peugeot from the late 80's or early 90's.
