Time for another Geo Quiz. This one is of the variation kind:
The geographic locations are not the places where the cars are built. Instead, the names of the cars are linked to the names of the places.
So please, have a go: Geographic locations #1 to #12, cars A to L - link away!
-
And the cars:
-
And, just to put this straight: 2 points for correctly identifying a car AND a location - and pairing them. No points for just a car, or just a location - so if you find one or the other and decide to give your answer without knowing what it should be paired with, it will be of help to other puzzlers, but not to yourself ;)
-
Location 11: Bayern
Car J: Duesen Bayern
-
E-2 Sebring track || Sebring Exalt ;D
-
F-1? BRM Buggy M Way?
-
Location 11: Bayern
Car J: Duesen Bayern
I'm holding the points for you. But as usual, I'd like you to tell me the model designation and not just the make.
-
E-2 Sebring track || Sebring Exalt ;D
Correct! You have been awarded two points for that.
-
F-1? BRM Buggy M Way?
Your pairing is correct, but I need some more detail here - on both the location and the car, to award you the points.
-
Location 11: Bayern
Car J: Duesen Bayern
I'm holding the point for you. But as usual, I'd like you to tell me the model designation and not just the make.
That was just the matter of SECONDS!!! Because I also knew this car! Duesen Bayern Agnes!
-
F-1? BRM Buggy M Way?
Your pairing is correct, but I need some more detail here - on both the location and the car, to award you the points.
I ma not very good at geo, bu maybe M road in UK?
-

And why are you replying when I'm saying that I'm holding the point for Ray B? That's just showing off.
I don't know about you, but I think the fun part is searching for an answer, not having other people give it to you.
-
I ma not very good at geo, bu maybe M road in UK?
OK - I'll give you a big clue here as you're close: The name of the car is not "BRM Buggy M Way". You've left out the most important bit regarding getting the pairing right...

Don't know this car is also known as Bugway Way (http://buggy.waybrasil.com) and (www.brmbuggy.com.br).. It can simply be the WAY, but....
-
It's Duesen Bayern Agnes. Thank you, Arunas, but don't worry, I would have found it without you. It's the 9th hit when you google "Duesen Bayern".
I know, I know, autopuzzling can put people in a kind of frantic state of mind at times...
-
Regarding the buggy, Arunas: You're getting colder... try a bit of googling ;)
-
It's Duesen Bayern Agnes.
Correct! Points awarded.
-
A bit wild guess:
C-12 Daytona Beach ??? || Daytona Midgi...
-
Regarding the buggy, Arunas: You're getting colder... try a bit of googling ;)
M11 road in UK?
-
A8 - Gulf of Mexico || Gulf Vitesse...???
-
M11 road in UK?
And what is the buggy called?
-
M11 road in UK?
And what is the buggy called?
I've already written.. Maybe M Way ?
-
A bit wild guess:
C-12 Daytona Beach ??? || Daytona Midgi...
Your pairing is correct, but the car's name is not Midgi. I'm holding the point for you.
-
I've already written.. Maybe M Way ?
And I've already said that you're leaving out the most important detail. It should be the easiest thing in the world now that you have found the correct geographic location.
-
A bit wild guess:
C-12 Daytona Beach ??? || Daytona Midgi...
Your pairing is correct, but the car's name is not Midgi. I'm holding the point for you.
Sorry! Daytona Moya! Google has something like midgi - another model I think!
-
A8 - Gulf of Mexico || Gulf Vitesse...???
I'd generally like you to be more specific. Who is building the Gulf Vitesse? And if the answer was the Gulf, why would I leave so much of it out of the picture? ;)
But again, your pairing is correct. You're close, so I'm holding the point.
-

??? I'll say it is M11, but did You see links I provided? (reply #13) ???
UPDATE! Yes the google says that it is BRM Buggy M11 Way ::)

Gulf Coast Motors of course! www.vitessesportscar.com
-
Daytona Moya!
Correct! The pairing is C: Daytona Moya and 12: Daytona Beach, Florida. Points awarded.
-
I'll say it is M11
Correct!
http://www.brmbuggy.com.br/way.php
Points awarded. It's the BRM M-11 Way, and the M11 road in the UK.
-
Gulf Coast Motors of course!
Which means the correct pairing is A: Gulf Coast Vitesse Cabrio and 8: the Gulf Coast.
Points awarded.
-

Correct!

Points awarded. It's the BRM M-11 Way, and the M11 road in the UK.
I am not sure, but did You give the points for Sebring? ::)
-
Yes, I believe I did...
Here are the results so far:
Location 1: M11 in the UK - goes with car F: 2007 BRM M-11 Way - Arunas
Location 2: Sebring International Raceway - goes with car E: 2008 Sebring Exalt - Arunas

-
G-4 ???
And the question: If the place for G is related to make or model?
-
That's a wrong pairing.
And I'm not going to narrow it down for you by answering your question - after all, it is an Expert puzzle.
You're going to have to start looking! This one is not going to be solved by asking questions ;)
-
Town #5 is Liège in Belgium, the trial car #5 is also called Liege.
-
Town #5 is Liège in Belgium, the trial car #5 is also called Liege.
That is correct! Two points awarded.
-
Pic 3 shows Agades (or Agadez) a city located in the Sahara desert. It matches with car B: the Heuliez (France Design) Peugeot Agades 4x4.

Yes, it does! Two points awarded.
-
Please give me two points ;D
For:
G-7. The car is LeBlanc Caroline and the place is Millennium Atoll (formerly know as Caroline island).. link for proof: http://www.oceandots.com/pacific/line/caroline.htm
-
G-7. The car is LeBlanc Caroline and the place is Millennium Atoll (formerly know as Caroline island).
Correct. The points are yours.
That leaves locations 4, 6, 9, and 10, and cars D, I, K, and L.

Yes, they are. You had 55, now you have 57. Please keep track of your own points before you accuse me of not adding.

Ok! ;)
-
I know what location 4 is and number 10, too, but can't match any of the cars....
Number 10 is the city coat of arms of a particular city I know. Is the car's name the same? ???
location = particular city, island etc. or could it be also the name of a building, place, monument etc.?
-
Location = particular city, island etc. Not building, place, monument.
The coat of arms in #10 is indeed linked to a city. The name of the city is part of the name of the car.
-
Rmm... I expected car #D to match with location #9, but the car's name doesn't sound like any location-name, even though one could say it looks quite nice...
-
This is a general clue: If you think you know the car and can't match it to any of the cities, why not try to find out if the car could be known by more than one name?
-
If I would reveal the two locations I've figured out — will I be blamed killjoy?
I definetely cannot find any cars to these! :-\
Maybe someone else has any ideas....

Just if You want to give potential points for someone else.. I also have similar problem with another puzzle.. still can't find if my assumption about the correct pair is right. I know the car and place but just can't find what picture it is :(
-
Yes, that is how it works. If you know the locations and decide to tell everyone, you won't be awarded any points, but maybe you'll help somebody else. I don't mind that.
-
Sometimes I'm rather interested to get the results! ;)
Here are my 'give away' locations:
#4 should be Washington I suppose. (Washington Monument mirrors in the pool) Car???
#10 ist the "badge" of the city of Rochnin in France. Car???
manus manum lavat... ;)
-
I'm amazed how you guys seem to be in a terrible hurry to solve every puzzle! I only posted this a couple of days ago and already you say that you "definitely cannot find" the answers. Sometimes, answers have to be searched for, and sometimes it takes more than a day to do so - it's been my aim to make a difficult puzzle, that should not be solved in a day or two. But you're very eager to hear the answers, so I'll give you a couple:
1) The reflection in the pool is indeed the Washington Monument.
2) I've never heard of the city of Rochnin in France. Neither has Wikipedia.
-
Sorry a typo: Ronchin http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronchin
I'm in an impatient mood today, forgive me! ;D
-
That is a very interesting coincidence. But if you look closer, you'll see that those two coats of arms aren't exactly the same - and the colour doesn't match completely, either. That is because my picture is not of the coat of arms of Ronchin!
;)
-
The black background?
Even coats of arms of the same city slightly differs by colour. Guess how many different Union Jacks you will find...
Could show you easily at least ten slightly different coats of my hometown.
-
OK , car #D looks like an Aixam Scouty R, but it's RHD, and it seems that these are sold in UK as NICE (No Internal Combustion Engine; apparently with an electric engine instead of the 500 cc two-cylinder power plant). Location #9 is Nice on the Côte d'Azur in France.
-
Location #9 is Nice on the Côte d'Azur in France.
I've stopped searching at Marseille. ^-^
Apparently the correct name is NICE Mega City, but it's DynaMike's of course!
-
I really don't like double names ;D
-
Could show you easily at least ten slightly different coats of my hometown.
But, you see, arguing won't help you find the correct name ;D
What it means is that two different locations seem to be using a very similar coat of arms. The car isn't, no matter how hard I try, going to fit the description "Ronchin"...

This one is going really quickly. You're correct about both NICE and Nice. And yes, it does look quite nice ;)
Points awarded!

Eleven down, one to go, two points left to fight over!
-
The car isn't, no matter how hard I try, going to fit the description "Ronchin"...
I made the same experience...
-
;D
-
Oh. I thought I'd moved this long ago.
Here you go, Professionals!
-
Location 4 - Washington, DC
Car I - DC IKONcept 2003
-
Could I ask if L is a French car?
-
Location 4 - Washington, DC
Car I - DC IKONcept 2003
Oh, yes! Well done! Two points for you.
Could I ask if L is a French car?
Yes, you could, and I'll even answer: No, it isn't.
-
My second thought was an Italian car..
-
And the answer, I'm afraid, is the same:
No, it isn't.
-
Hi, finally I can see the pics!
I know one of the 2 cars left very well, but its name it's just a surname, a letter and a number...
whatever...here you are: car K: Errani Team Delta R20, goes with location ...
-
Location 10 - Erre (a village in France)
Car K - Erre 20 Delta from Errani Team
-

That's the right car! But it is featured on several hundred web pages under the name Erre20, which obviously led ImpishGrin to draw this conclusion:
Location 10 - Erre (a village in France)
Car K - Erre 20 Delta from Errani Team
...which is absolutely correct!
Only one left!
-
L - German?
-
Nope.
-
Is the unsolved car from Asia?
-
Good question. No, it isn't.
-
It should be European..
-
Yes, it is.
-
European microcar, but not french, not italian, not german... Hungarian? :D
-
Bingo!
-
It's open to all ? If not, the point is for ImpishGrin... Location L: Buddhist Monastery in Puli, and the Hungarian microcar is a Puli as well...
-
Drat, you beat me to it, I was looking for photos of that temple :P
(Is saying 'drat' allowed here? ;) )
-
It's open to all ? If not, the point is for ImpishGrin... Location L: Buddhist Monastery in Puli, and the Hungarian microcar is a Puli as well...
Damn, I have been looking for any pictures of this microcar for some time and couldn't find any :D
-

Yes - earlier I made it clear that if somebody wanted to spill the beans on something, they would be free to do so with the risk of losing the puzzle points. In this case, fame and glory go to ImpishGrin for guessing Hungary, but the two remaining points of this puzzle go to DynaMike, who made the connection.
Which gives this final list:
Location 1: M11 in the UK - goes with car F: 2007 BRM M-11 Way - Arunas
Location 2: Sebring International Raceway - goes with car E: 2008 Sebring Exalt - Arunas
Location 3: Agades/Agadez, Niger - goes with car B: 1990 Peugeot Agades 4x4 by Heuliez - Allemano
Location 4: Washington DC, goes with car I: 2003 DC Decign Ikoncept - ImpishGrin
Location 5: Liège, Belgium - goes with car H: 2006 Liege - DynaMike
Location 6: Chung Tai Chan Monastery, Puli, Taiwan - goes with car L: 1990s Puli - DynaMike
Location 7: Caroline Island - goes with car G: 2004 Leblanc Caroline GTR - Arunas
Location 8: Gulf Coast - goes with car A: 2007 Gulf Coast Vitesse Cabrio - Arunas
Location 9: Nice, France - goes with car D: 2006 NICE Mega City - DynaMike
Location 10: Erre, Nord, France - goes with car K: 2000s Lancia Delta Integrale Erre20 Limited by Riccardo Errani - ImpishGrin
Location 11: Bayern, Germany - goes with car J: 2006 Duesen Bayern Agnes - Ray B
Location 12: Daytona Beach, Florida - goes with car C: 1980 Daytona Moya - Arunas
Congratulations! This puzzle is hereby solved and moved to the nursery home.

Points?
-
Were awarded during the time of the puzzle.
-
Were awarded during the time of the puzzle.
Is that so? Then I must have been not given points for some 4 other solved puzzles. Hmpf... Time to think about some points-tracking sytem ;)
-
In this case, I chose to do it that way. If you look back on the answers I've given, I've stated that "you have been awarded two points" all along, as I added the points when I was answering.
-
Oh well, not the first points I can't find :D I think I'm already missing 7 or so points. But I'm not gonna get too excited about it, after all it's just for fun :)
-
Exactly!
-
Well I have been watching my points from the start of this puzzle waiting for ten points to be added as soon as it is over.. Your "two points awarded" I interpretated as "two point for the answer once the puzzle is finished" and really didn't notice any points for any correct answer... Sorry I may be wrong but.......
