Sorry, I accidentally moved this topic to "News, Information and Feedback," after which I could no longer move it. I've had to delete it from there and recreate it here.

Here is what was originally posted:

(me) This make was mentioned once in AP several years ago, but it has not been the subject of a puzzle until now. Can you name that make?
(Fёdor) French
(me) Yes, it is French.
(Fёdor) Most likely not Renault
(me) Not a Renault, and not a well-known or long-lived make.
(Fёdor) SCAR
(me) No. Shorter-lived, and (I believe) less well-known.
(Fёdor) R.I.P.

Correct, it is a 1908 Rip. I believe the name is just "Rip," not the acronym "RIP".

That's a point for you!

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Would an Admin be anyone identified as "Editor" on the site?
