Those are Thai flags in the background. So I started from there... and found the 1996 Horlacher Pantila electric coupé, built in Switzerland (so technically, it is not Asian) and planned for the Thai market. Never seen it before, though - but there are often clues in the picture if you look close enough  ;)

I just didn't realise when I got here in the first place that my login name and my 'screen name' didn't have to be the same. And @re is who I've been for the past 10 years - so why not here as well?  ;)

As of today, there are 40 unsolved puzzles of mine on this forum - 20 Rookie and 20 Expert puzzles. On Thursday, I'm going to visit the owner of the car in one of those puzzles. But I'm not telling which!

Thank you! This is a very nice (and cheap) hobby - so a big thanks to SeaLion who invited me in the first place!

That's a very good point. And it's more or less completely useless - it is as car-nerdy as you can get. But great fun!

It's still unsolved - so I'll wait a bit longer with that :)
