I liked Otto's Puzzell so much that I asked him politely if he would let me steal the idea and post a similar puzzell of my own - and being the kind person he is, he agreed. So, here it is: City Of Industry II - the point is to link cities #1 - #12 with cars A to L.

The twist is that most of these twelve cars have never been mass produced, but they are tightly connected to twelve different automobile manufacturers. The cities are the locations of the present headquarters of these twelve manufacturers.

And since I have no website to link to, I'll have to post 12 pictures at a time. Happy puzzling!

And then: The cars.

Supremely difficult - I love it!

Oh - the Master loves it! Thank you. It will probably be promoted to the Pro level sooner than you know...

@re · « **Reply #4 on:** July 21, 2008, 05:55:30 AM »

No sooner said than done. Promoted!

Well I´d combine town 1 (Göteborg bridge/S) with car A (Volvo Jakob Hotrod)

Town 9 (Molsheim church/F) goes with car D (Bugatti 57 with a 1952 special body, now to be seen at Autoworld/Bruxelles/B)

Town 10 (Wolfsburg castle/D) goes with car I (Volkswagen Tarek Dakar Buggy ca. 2002-2003)

Picture 11 shows the Lamborghini factory at Sant'Agata/I. This can be combined with the Lamborghini Diablo prototype shown in pic J at the works museum.

Mini Miss Liberty in pic 12 is situated in Tokyo-Odaiba/J and goes with the 1991 Nissan FEV concept car in pic H

Picture 7 shows the Grande Palais at Paris/F and goes with the Citroen SM swb sport prototype in pic B

Town 3 (Istanbul/TK)) goes with car K (Otosan Ford Taunus GTS), but I´m not really sure if it is Istanbul, to be honest.

now it´s 2:10 in the morning and I´m too tired to get the rest done...

#5 is Riviera Beach, Florida, home of F, the Mosler Twinstar, a twin engine Eldorado.

#6 is the gazebo in Hoschton, GA, from whence comes the Panoz Esperante GTR-1 in picture G.

Well I´d combine town 1 (Göteborg bridge/S) - YES! - with car A (Volvo Jakob Hotrod) - YES!

Town 9 (Molsheim church/F) - YES! - goes with car D (Bugatti 57 with a 1952 special body, now to be seen at Autoworld/Bruxelles/B) - YES!

Town 10 (Wolfsburg castle/D) - YES! - goes with car I (Volkswagen Tarek Dakar Buggy ca. 2002-2003) - YES!

Picture 11 shows the Lamborghini factory at Sant'Agata/I - YES!. This can be combined with the Lamborghini Diablo prototype shown in pic J at the works museum - YES!

Mini Miss Liberty in pic 12 is situated in Tokyo-Odaiba/J - YES! - and goes with the 1991 Nissan FEV concept car in pic H - YES!

Picture 7 shows the Grande Palais at Paris/F - YES! - and goes with the Citroen SM swb sport prototype in pic B - YES!

Town 3 (Istanbul/TK)) - NO! - goes with car K (Otosan Ford Taunus GTS) - YES!, but I´m not really sure if it is Istanbul, to be honest. You're right. It's not.

I'll award the points like this: Two points for each correct pairing, but none for just one of the pictures. Which means you'll get 12 points for this, eventually. Well done!

Well done, and a total of four points will eventually be yours. I'm guessing that you didn't know what car the Panoz was until you spotted the easily recognizable gazebo from Hoschton

or was it the other way around??

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #9 on:** July 22, 2008, 04:56:05 AM »

The Panoz was the give-away. I like anachronisms like Panoz, who were resolutely front-engined in a rear-engined racing world.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #10 on:** July 22, 2008, 05:06:55 AM »

I know number 8, which I'm 50% sure is paired with L. but can't put a name to the car...

@re · « **Reply #11 on:** July 22, 2008, 06:23:02 PM »

Keep on looking. You are unfortunately further away from the solution than you think.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #12 on:** July 25, 2008, 03:42:51 AM »

This one is driving me nuts!

@re · « **Reply #13 on:** July 25, 2008, 04:47:01 PM »

I'm glad! That was the point!

@re · « **Reply #14 on:** August 04, 2008, 07:54:01 PM »

A little clue: All the cars (and geographic locations) left in this puzzle are from no more than two different continents (although some people prefer to see them as just one).

@re · « **Reply #15 on:** October 13, 2008, 06:40:15 PM »

That is, obviously, Europe and Asia we're talking about.

There is at least one giveaway here, if you look at what's been posted earlier.

Maybe our newcomers want to play?

3 can't be Istanbul, Grobmotorix's guess was wrong! Left is 2,4 and 8...
There is no stadion like that in Istanbul and no mountains around like those...
rule out 2.
The railway map of pic 8 shows not the geographical profile of Istanbul,... rule out 8
Left is location 4 which logically must be Istanbul, but I haven't got the slightest clue what this building's purpose is....

@re · « **Reply #17 on:** October 13, 2008, 09:01:06 PM »

Somebody's barking up the wrong tree.

Allemano · « **Reply #18 on:** October 13, 2008, 09:03:00 PM »

@re · « **Reply #19 on:** October 13, 2008, 09:04:16 PM »

Let's just say you started in the wrong end with this.

Allemano · « **Reply #20 on:** October 13, 2008, 09:05:16 PM »

Otosan wasn't settled in Istanbul? I quit for today — I'm too tired now!

@re · « **Reply #21 on:** October 14, 2008, 06:15:49 AM »

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #22 on:** October 14, 2008, 07:43:09 AM »

I'm somewhat confident #8 is a railway map of Seoul, Korea.

Allemano · « **Reply #23 on:** October 14, 2008, 09:48:48 AM »

Is car E modified with Photoshop? I know one car which exactly looks the same – except of some essential details....

As I've stated earlier - points are for correct pairings...
