Alrighty then!

Here's another puzzle where the cars are linked to geographic locations. I hope this one will be difficult, I tried my best to achieve that...

In this one, 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 the cars (none of which date further back than the Eighties):

pieter · « **Reply #2 on:** August 14, 2008, 03:46:03 AM »

Right off the top of my head: Car D (I guess a Colani creation) and location 3 (Stelvio Pass in Switzerland) seem to go together.

DHoffmann · « **Reply #3 on:** August 14, 2008, 05:29:44 AM »

If I may, Location 4 and car D.

Colani Utah 6 - Utah from space.

And I'm gonna have a stab in the dark at the location, I can't find anything from those pics you put up.

Car G - Location 10
Lamborghini Sogna - Sogna Resort of something?

Pity - not a gazebo in sight

@re · « **Reply #5 on:** August 14, 2008, 06:17:22 AM »

No gazebos, I'm afraid... but there's always picture #2, which is just about as easy to identify as the good ol' gazebo

Location #4 does indeed go with car D, it's the 1989 Colani Utah 6, and a satellite image of Utah.

This means that pieter's guess was a good one, but not quite right. And DHoffmann's other guess is not quite right, either, I won't give away details about what's wrong.

Points are awarded like this: Two points for each correctly identified pairing, that means no points for identifying only one half. So, DHoffmann has earned two points so far, and there are 22 points still up for grabs.

I did not read the question properly - it's not a link between the car and the place as I thought, but between the name of the car and the place. Apologies

@re · « **Reply #7 on:** August 14, 2008, 07:25:13 AM »

No worries! Besides, it's not the Stelvio pass...

See what I mean? One musn't limit his interests to cars only, and Paul Jaray, an example to us all, sure knows his geography!

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #14 on:** August 18, 2008, 10:31:22 AM »

I know what location #1 is, but I can't find a car that shares the name with the city, or the specific location.

DynaMike · « **Reply #15 on:** August 18, 2008, 03:13:41 PM »

Location #3 reminds me of the Col du Turini, Southern France. But I can't find any Turini-car...

Ray B. · « **Reply #16 on:** August 18, 2008, 05:11:45 PM »

And location 5 is obviously Scotland but I'm unable to recognize ANY of those cars.

@re · « **Reply #17 on:** August 18, 2008, 07:10:08 PM »

Otto: If you do know what location #1 is, you will agree that I could very easily have picked a much more mainstream car to go with that picture. But this was meant to be difficult, so I didn't

DynaMike: You're quite unbelievably close, in many ways! But it's not the Col du Turini.

And Ray B: I'll give a clue here. You, of all people, should be able to solve that one... even if you don't recognise the cars!

Now that'll keep you thinking...

Quiller · « **Reply #18 on:** August 19, 2008, 06:14:09 AM »

Location 5 (Scotland) matches Car#5 (Ecosse Signature)

Quiller · « **Reply #19 on:** August 19, 2008, 06:21:49 AM »

I recognise car F but can't match any of the locations to it. Is maybe location 2 the one?

@re · « **Reply #20 on:** August 19, 2008, 06:45:50 AM »

Location 5 and Car E is quite correct! Ray B could maybe have worked out that one, being French and all

Regarding car F: You're on the right track. If you just do a little more digging I'm convinced that you'll be certain!

So, am I working with the name of the city, or the specific site memorialized with the marker?

Quiller · « **Reply #22 on:** August 19, 2008, 08:05:47 AM »

"On the right track" you say. OK, I'm going to go with Corry (terminus of the Pennsylvania railroad) as location 2 and car F being the Corry Cultra

Sometimes (not very often, fortunately) being French is not enough. Don't you believe that I didn't try. But I didn't get further than Ecurie Ecosse...

@re · « **Reply #24 on:** August 19, 2008, 07:08:01 PM »

Some answers are in order!

Otto: You are working with the name of the specific site.

Quiller: Correct! Try a quick Google picture search for "corry pennsylvania" and see what you find

Ray B: Good thinking... I could also have picked the Ascari Ecosse, which is what this thing was initially called:
