Post by: Quiller on April 18, 2009, 04:48:23 AM
Here's a puzzle open to all.

Can you unstick the following cars? Each one has the centre section of another vehicle in its middle. What you need to do is match the correct name of each car (make and model designation) with the correct centre section it contains. You need to come up with both to score a point
