It can't be so tough Zanza as you found it in mintues.
As a matter of interest, how did you find it?
No links allowed, you are right.

Possibly, because it is a repost: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=2640.0

(And why is it in 2007?)

Now that's it's solved, it can be merged.

DeAutogids:

Elsewhere in AutoPuzzles, a recent point of discussion has been the possibility of posting long solved puzzles (like this one from 2007) as new puzzles, and then merging when they are complete.

It seemed to be a mostly well-received idea.

Found with some luck as the windshield of your pic sports a sticker color which reminded me of pictures I had taken in an exhibtion and where some exceptional cars were for renting.... Found the website of the renter and that was done  ;)
