Lol, searching with google for "K4000 Axle Off" we get Axle assembly parts model K4000: .... Everything is there, lol, K4000, Axle and even "off" (get 3% off! hahaha). Looks like someone was searching for that when developing the game

Bit of a logical fallacy here. You searched 3 terms, and those 3 terms showed up in a page. All this shows is that google works.

Well, if it didn't search up all the terms (like, searches just one term and none of the other), don't you get some sort of monetary reward for finding a bug? Can't remember.. Long time ago when I heard rumour of that (>5yrs).

Anyways! Found some more things! The Spiky Fair Happy F7 is indeed a Ferrari spider, but the F7 part makes me beleive it is actually the F430, as 4+3+0=7. Because of this I'm changing the car(s) of the SpeedyFairHarry down to just the Ferrari 360, as the term "speedy" seems to be coined to that version more than all the other models..

Changed the Lambada Camera V12 to be definately a Camaro with Lambo V12 engine. As such a car doesn't exist as far as I know, I'm using a picture of a Camaro with Lambo doors to signify some modification.

Caqui, your guess on Kingroad being related to Kinroad I beleive is correct! I think the trophy part is either relating to a competition that people enter with their Go Karts or the next class above that - Trophy Karts. However from what I can tell Kinroad doesn't make anything for the Trophy Kart class..

Also added the Ferrari California as the Feararmy Cabbyfornia as I forgot, andboth Scuderia Tero Rosso (Team Red Bull) and the Ferrari TR (250 Testa Rossa) s best guesses for the ScuttleButtleria Turbo Rosy. What do you folks think which is which of those two?

Llyu, you can come in at any time to help or tell us if we're wrong, right or whatever..

It ok or not?
If I name my research part to the real thing.

You can do so if you want - I don't see any harm in it. I'm/we're just putting this here for peoples reference, so they know what came from what.

Also added the Kawasaki W1 as the Wakawasabi. WA=W1 (1 being first number, A being first letter?), Kawasabi=Kawasaki. It's a motorcycle, and a long shot.. But perhaps it's Agram's first motorcycle???

The assumptions just keep getting wilder and wilder...

The great thing there is that both words (the off part is just for fun in fact) are really connected (axle part number K4000) instead of just finding sites with axle + k4000 like when you search for Lambada Camera and get sites comparing something like Lamborghini vs. Porsche Carrera and nothing about a "Lamborghini Carrera" or you get pointed to a news site that you have one news about "axle something" and another totally diferent about "K4000 somethingelse" and they're not related.

"BMW GKN Automotive Axle Assembly for BMW 530i Part # K4000-27897 | In Stock | $233.64"

"Subaru EMPI W0133-1618933 Axle Assembly
(EMPI - K4000-46025, W0133-1618933)"

"Porsche GKN Automotive W0133-1600320 Axle Assembly
(GKN Automotive - K4000-22904, W0133-1600320)"

It's a car part... enough for me, lol

Nice catch on W1!

Can't stop thinking that "Bughabit Werewolf" could be "Bugatti Veyron"

This is a stretch but... from poking around a little I found out that the Bugatti Type 18 was also called the Garros. The french word for werewolf is loup-garou. Is that too far removed to be feasible?

Could be it. Afterall, the game is french, right?

Nice find.

K4000 Axle Off is none else than K.i.t, Mr Hasselof's jumping pontiac otherwise known under the name K2000.

Buddah Spirit is the Lotus Esprit.

Don't ask me where I got that, but the Golgotha Yoyota is indeed a Toyota but more precisely the RAV4.

Bughabit Werewolf would in my book aswell be the Bugatti Veyron, as while the car was named after a famous bugatti type 33 driver, Veyron is a quality more often associated with dogs and canines.

I jus can't put my finger back on the origin of the Milestrone and the Flashcrash but otherwise I agree with all the suggestions and guesses so far. Altho, I think these names are inherited from Llyu more than Agram as french cars have different names.

Man... how we forgot Knight Rider and David Hasselhoff (hahaha it was even on one of my supposed to be rules... sound of the words... axleoff hasselhoff...!) ... lol Knight Rider 2000 (1991 movie) where they build the K4000.

Buddah and Lotus... lol

But no way, you need to say where did you get the RAV4...
