Topic: SOLVED - THOR #08 : RSK718 Spyder by Replicars

[thorax]

name and country for one point

[thorax]

experts?

[D-type]

A little voice tells me this is South African.  Is it?

The most likely candidate I found was called a Porsche 930 Porshe 550 Spyder Replica, based I think on a Replicars kit

[thorax]

I've it as a kit car made by Replicars of South Africa: the name is different

[D-type]

Replicars call it a Porsche 718 Spyder (but as its a kit car the builder may have called it anything).

[pieter]

I remember that to be the Lolette Spyder, from South Africa, as already mentioned

[thorax]

the Lolette is seems to be quite different from this one and I think that the name I have is too generic: my fault.

[Tackitt]

It is called the RSK (RS for Rennsport and K for the shape of the front suspension)
and is from South Africa.

[Tackitt]

Some folks are calling it the RSK718 so, take yer pick.

[Tackitt]

And some folks call it the RSK718 Spyder or Spider or 718RSK Spider or Spyder.  No one really seems to know.

[thorax]

the same name I have: I think that the point is yours!

[D-type]

Replicars call it a Porsche 718 Spyder (but as its a kit car the builder may have called it anything).

And the name the maker calls it doesn't count for anything then?

[thorax]

I think that the right way is to give a point to you too.

[D-type]

I'm not bothered about the point.

It's just the principle of the thing.  Which is more correct?  The name the manufacturers of the car give on their website or the name that someone else gives on another website or in a magazine?

[thorax]

I asked the name of the manufacturer and model. probably have been careless about the exact description that I read in a magazine and I thought it was correct. I should be more precise, in this case admit a mistake and I apologize. I truly believed correct to point to those who gave me the name of the model and to whom he gave the name of the manufacturer. without controversy.

[Tackitt]

If you don't think I deserved the point, take it away. Most of the time, I don't even play the game anyway. I am usually in it for the cars. You asked for "Name and Country". Period. I found the country and that it was called several variations of a name. I didn't take it any further than that as that is all you asked for.

[D-type]

Not at all, you deserve the point for recognising the car and persevering when the puzzle setter stated that the name the car's manufacturer gave it was incorrect.
