F#53 - Solved - Khym

faksta · March 21, 2009, 01:39:53 PM

Wow! What is that? For one point.

faksta · March 28, 2009, 06:51:12 AM

Experts?

DynaMike · March 28, 2009, 07:16:05 AM

Not a car in the conventional meaning... I'd call it a carriage with one HP and rear wheel drive

Otto Puzzell · March 28, 2009, 07:18:06 AM

Ford Mustang prototype.

faksta · March 28, 2009, 07:40:35 AM

It's not a car actually, yes

I'm not also sure it's a Mustang prototype.

K5ING · March 28, 2009, 10:07:47 PM

Now that's what I call "putting the cart before the horse".

Ok, someone had to say it, right?

faksta · April 16, 2009, 08:43:49 AM

What's this Ferrari killer?

D-type · July 12, 2009, 04:01:38 PM

Very early Porsche?

faksta · July 25, 2009, 07:39:08 PM

Hardly. But note that it has a steering wheel

pguillem · July 27, 2009, 01:57:58 PM

Ah ah ! It's the Khym hippomobile from the Tour de France caravan at Cognac. "Khym" was the make of an aperitive. That was before Lance Armstrong, I think.

faksta · July 27, 2009, 02:55:41 PM

Right!

In times of alternative technologies filling the news every day, let's have some fun over the week-end.

For one point, please respond and tell me who invented this rear-engined horse carriage and when he did it.

Carnut · February 11, 2011, 08:53:04 AM

So that's what they mean by "putting the cart before the horse"!

Nah, t'horse has broken down and is being towed home

Otto Puzzell · February 12, 2011, 04:27:49 AM

Though I can't remember the name (it was one of Ray B.'s puzzles), I believe this is a re-post.

Wendax · February 12, 2011, 01:09:07 PM

I can't find the name I have by searching the puzzles.

vintman · February 13, 2011, 12:35:46 PM

Voiture Khym

You have successfully gone half the way. I am looking for the name of the inventor (not Khym) and the date.

Locked for you till your next reply.

vintman · February 13, 2011, 01:24:00 PM

Sorry, just had copy of the card. No background.

Can an equestrial expert finish this?

D-type · February 18, 2011, 03:27:30 PM

Early Ferdinand Porsche creation?

D-type · February 20, 2011, 11:18:54 AM

It is a re-post, see http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=7360.msg52483#msg52483

Wendax · February 20, 2011, 11:23:33 AM

I searched for the inventor's name, not for Khym

I suggest, we leave this puzzle open as the inventor hasn't been named yet. When he's found, an editor might merge the puzzles.

Wendax · February 27, 2011, 03:06:15 PM

Professional horse-pushing knowledge needed

Wendax · April 11, 2011, 12:52:52 PM

I guess a hint is needed. The man in search - we know he's French - got a prize for it on an inventors' exhibition.
