SOLVED - NTM #60 - Reverse Gear (Part 4)
« on: December 23, 2011, 12:53:32 PM »
A variation on the themes found in my previous three puzzles.

No points for guessing the theme, but once you know it, guessing cars will be easier... maybe.

As usual, I am only concerned with the make name -- not models, technical details, etc. Also, there is at least one blatant repost.

Well, since the one Reverse Gear puzzle still in Pros isn't moving (backwards) anywhere right now, I guess I'll back this one up to the Pros now. This has a similar theme to one or two of the other Reverse Gear puzzles, but it's a little more complex...

You've got half of it.

Each car name is one word when read normally and a different word when spelled backwards.

Compare this to Part 2 (currently still waiting to be finished) where each name is a word spelled backwards but is not a word when read normally.

Let's reduce this assumption to "English word".  ;)
"Dort", for example, is German for "there".

Sorry, "English word" is what I meant!
