Solved: Postcards & Collectors Cards
« on: July 06, 2011, 10:42:12 AM »
A variation on a theme, but this time I needed only two images to upload..   ;)

Please match the cars with the places. As usual one point for each correct pairing!
Only complete ID'd cars and locations will win!

Hope this puzzle is a little more difficult than the last one.
Wendax solved it almost alone, so, roll your sleeves up!  :D

Not bad! "Mikasa Car" needs a little more, though. Locked for you untill your next reply.

Because I can't match any of the cars that I recognise to any of the places, simple as that! If I didn't know any of the cars it wouldn't be so frustrating!
