There are a lot of street lights on this picture. Is it from Belgium?
Title: Re: 301. of All.
Post by: Allemano on September 24, 2009, 04:24:14 PM
A good guess, but it's not Belgian.

Does the wheel manufacturer have something to do with this? (a promotion vehicle?)
Title: Re: 301. of All.
Post by: Allemano on September 25, 2009, 01:01:17 AM
I'm at home tomorrow to give you any accurate information, but as far as I remember it's not related
to any supplier or promotion purpose. It's obviuosely only the dream come true of a mad mechanic.

On this I have to look at my home archive, as I can't remember its builder, so I'll reply at the next WE.

The taken pictures are made by a man called Magnus, but he's not the builder/designer of this monstrosity.

No, not a Mercedes, but another German car...

metalshapes already gave the right hint.

Post by: Paul Jaray on December 06, 2009, 04:30:21 PM
This is a heavily customized Golf and if I got the story right it is the result of a contest by a magazine, Bilsport

Title: Re: 301. of All.
Post by: Allemano on December 06, 2009, 04:31:53 PM
Right so far! You have 12h 24h to get me the builder.

Title: Re: 301. of All.
Post by: Allemano on December 08, 2009, 03:43:28 AM
As far as I know it's the personal project of one single (mad) man, but was sponsored by several companies.

ÅTTAHJULIGA Golfen ??
Title: Re: 301. of All.
Post by: Allemano on February 02, 2010, 02:23:24 AM
Not the name I have. I'm not sure if this mongrel has a certain name at all.
I want the builder's name for a point.

Only a few words are needed and maybe a little help of Google's translator (if you aren't a native speaker)
Then it should be (one of) the first search result(s).

No.

I need a fore- and a surname.

Post by: ImpishGrin on February 03, 2010, 06:03:37 AM
I've gone through the whole thread with those photos, but couldn't find any mention of the builder (apart from the city he lives in).
Title: Re: 301. of All.
Post by: Allemano on February 03, 2010, 06:22:32 AM
I've checked it on myself if I could find the car/builder on the internet without knowing anything except what's written/shown here on this topic:
1. I've googled in Swedish.
2. I've searched after the distinctive/odd details of the car in combination with make and sponsor which were already figured out.

Google shows me on the first result all I want to know to solve this puzzle.
Title: Re: 301. of All.
Post by: ImpishGrin on February 03, 2010, 07:07:42 AM
I'm either stupid or blind, cause I can't see it.
Title: Re: 301. of All.
Post by: Allemano on February 03, 2010, 07:11:15 AM
okay, then we do it together step by step:
The car is sponsored by?  .......................................
Title: Re: 301. of All.
Post by: ImpishGrin on February 03, 2010, 07:16:32 AM
A few companies, the only name that was mentioned explicitly is Lesonal.
Title: Re: 301. of All.
Post by: Allemano on February 03, 2010, 07:20:45 AM
Not that!
In Paul Jaray's post #20 another name is mentioned...
Title: Re: 301. of All.
Post by: ImpishGrin on February 03, 2010, 07:26:57 AM
If you mean the Bilsport magazine, then it wasn't a sponsor. The car just won their contest.

Err, than it was a misinterpretation from my side...  :-\

No problem :) I used the Bilsport name in my searches too. Bilsport, Golf, gullwing and eight-wheel (in english as well as swedish) - still nothing :(

Edit: Ari Koskinen :D

I was using åttahjulig in my searches, while it should have been 8-hjulig :)
Title: Re: 301. of All.
Post by: Allemano on February 03, 2010, 07:49:59 AM
Right you are. Ari Koskinen was the name I was after. One point for PJ and one for ImpishGrin.
