Solved Cars and Places – Another Geographical Puzzle, solved by many!
« on: November 13, 2009, 12:01:23 PM »
In best tradition and missed for a long time, here it is: the new geographical group puzzle.

Match the right location to the right car or vice versa. They're related by name.
Score 2 points for each pair – score none for incomplete answers!
Some may be a little tricky some are rather easy.
Points will be added afterwards.

sorry, that's precious little. :sigh:
It's partly correct, but I need a more precise and detailed info (for all of the pairings!)
aside from that the first pairing is wrong

oh dear, it really is - that's a terrible mistake made by me, it was middle of the night and i was tired so i had a right to talk such nonsensities  ;D

as to the volga - the picture shows the volga assembled in belgium by sombipex, who offered it also with diesel engines. they also made an (unsuccessful) attempt to redesign the car, penned and built by vignale. picture of the river shows volga at city of tver with the bridge donated by st. petersburg

everything's correct except of the Vignale part... It's your 'pair' for 12h

The Volga river picture, as kocie_ruchy said, shows Tver' city, not St.-Petersberg. Volga doesn't run through our 'Northern capital'. Althouhg according Russian wiki this is neither the bridge built upon parts os St.-Petersberg one. This one should exist from year 1900.

No. 1 is the GS Cars Europa, styled by William Towns, and I guess No. 9 must be Europa/Europe!

It's indeed a Ramses (though I have a different designation!), but the location is wrong.
Loc7 is not Egypt.
