You mean "both cars have the same body style elements" like the fins in the "Amphicar 770 Cabriolet 1963 and Cadillac Coupe de Ville 1960" link or
"both cars have devices to aid aerodynamics" linke the spoilers in the Steyr-Puch 650 TR 1964 and MG Metro 1982 ?
both connections are out of the game...

So "both have fender skirts!" doesn't count?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #253 on:** February 28, 2009, 07:24:31 AM »

I'm afraid it doesn't. When 2 cars were posted because both have tails, I considered a more generic connection, "both cars have the same body style elements", because this is a neverending chain, but there is no point in posting couples sharing each time a different part of the body. But, if you find another link between these 2 cars, will be ok, or you can pick another one!

Graywolf? What am I supposed to do? according to the rules I should take away one of your points. Please don't let me do that, change your reply or find another car.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #255 on:** March 01, 2009, 03:04:41 PM »

OK, this one is open to all again, do not consider Graywolf connection, this is the last valid one:
Jaguar XK120 1954 and Fiat 8V 1952. Both cars have a coachbuilt version of the same design

GRAYWOLF · « **Reply #256 on:** March 01, 2009, 06:45:37 PM »

Fiat 8V 1952 and this Cisitalia D46 were both designed by Dante Giacosa who worked for Fiat and used various Fiat parts on the D46.

That is good!
Fiat 8V 1952 and Cisitalia D46 1946 both cars have the same designer
Cisitalia D46 1946 and what car? why?

Wasn't "same designer" already used?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #261 on:** March 03, 2009, 11:56:11 AM »

"Same engineer" (Porsche) and "designer of one car worked in the design-house of the second" (Boano) are the ones that are closer, but different.
I try to check each time in the list in the top of each page and in the reply n.43 in page 2. In this case, Giacosa could be considered as Porsche as an engineer, but He was also a designer and actually was involved in both project.

Allan L · « **Reply #262 on:** March 03, 2009, 02:39:48 PM »

We are in danger of having a discussion on whether an Engineer is a Designer.
Modern parlance seeems to regard the stylist as a "designer" where once men like Porsche, who were Engineers, designed cars.
Similarly modern Formula 1 drivers have their own "race engineer" who is probably a bit more than a mechanic, but possibly has no formal qualifications as an Engineer.
(don't get me started on the current UK practice of calling the man who comes to fix the washing machine and engineer)

This is definitely a topic for men with big brains.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #264 on:** March 04, 2009, 03:17:12 AM »

I do prefer consider Porsche or Giacosa as engineers, and Michelotti or Martin designers. Usually (but it's not a rule) a designer is also an engineer but an engineer do not have to be a designer. Obviously an engineer who designs a car take into account other issues, and a pure designer can let his creativity go free. On the other hand this chain is yours, I just have to check each time your connections and update the list. "Same designer" was a new one and now it's over, so I accepted it. Sometimes this links are really thin, other times are open to different points of view and that's what I like about that. (btw: Otto, I miss yours connections...).

This is definitely a topic for men with big brains.

I don't think so: you can post a Fiat Panda and write "both cars have 4 wheels" because it's good. If you want, you can take a look to Cisitalia's story and find something relevant about his logo, and then the connection with another car maker will be easy. You can also remember that the D46 was... it's up to you to decide how deep you go, and it will be harder and harder in the future. Now Graywolf's point is out there, make your move.

Ray B. · « **Reply #265 on:** March 04, 2009, 03:26:45 AM »

By "big brains", I meant brains roomy enough to stack all the already used connections and remeber them when needed. For instance I am amazed that a connection as obvious as "same designer" hadn't been thought of yet after 11 pages of this game.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #266 on:** March 04, 2009, 03:36:33 AM »

At the top of each new page I post a list of all the connections updated and in the 2 page, reply n.43, I write the cars plus the connection. It's for you, if you think to a connection you just have to look at the top of the page and if you still have some doubts, in page 2 there is the detail of it. You will be surprise if you consider how many trivial connections are already there...no need to remember, take a look and make your try..

GRAYWOLF · « **Reply #267 on:** March 04, 2009, 03:38:15 AM »

For me, it was just dumb luck...I missed the part of the instructions where you couldn't use the same connection...

Can you follow up your own post?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #268 on:** March 04, 2009, 03:48:36 AM »

after 1 month without any reply, you earn your point (s) , so technically for you is not convenient to continue the chain but, if you want to, in order to lead the chain toward a very hard (4 points) connection, or if you just want to continue it, you can do that, but after 1 week without replies.

Cisitalia D46 1946 and Bristol 400 1947... Both were the first cars produced by their makers.

Bristol 400 1947 and 1910 A.L.F.A. 24 HP. Both of these initial offerings from fledgling brands had badges which featured the coat of arms of their cities of origin.

The 1910 A.L.F.A. 24 hp and the 1986 Opel Omega, since both cars have a letter from the Greek alphabet in their name.
