Time for another Geo Quiz. This one is of the variation kind:

The geographic locations are not the places where the cars are built. Instead, the names of the cars are linked to the names of the places.

So please, have a go: Geographic locations #1 to #12, cars A to L - link away!

And, just to put this straight: 2 points for correctly identifying a car AND a location - and pairing them. No points for just a car, or just a location - so if you find one or the other and decide to give your answer without knowing what it should be paired with, it will be of help to other puzzlers, but not to yourself ;)

I'm holding the points for you. But as usual, I'd like you to tell me the model designation and not just the make.

Correct! You have been awarded two points for that.

Your pairing is correct, but I need some more detail here - on both the location and the car, to award you the points.

And why are you replying when I'm saying that I'm holding the point for Ray B? That's just showing off.

I don't know about you, but I think the fun part is searching for an answer, not having other people give it to you.

OK - I'll give you a big clue here as you're close: The name of the car is not "BRM Buggy M Way". You've left out the most important bit regarding getting the pairing right...

Don't know this car is also known as Bugway Way (http://buggy.waybrasil.com) and  (www.brmbuggy.com.br).. It can simply be the WAY, but....

It's Duesen Bayern Agnes. Thank you, Arunas, but don't worry, I would have found it without you. It's the 9th hit when you google "Duesen Bayern".
I know, I know, autopuzzling can put people in a kind of frantic state of mind at times...

Your pairing is correct, but the car's name is not Midgi. I'm holding the point for you.

And I've already said that you're leaving out the most important detail. It should be the easiest thing in the world now that you have found the correct geographic location.

Sorry! Daytona Moya! Google has something like midgi - another model I think!
