Neverending Chain, now closed!

[metalshapes]

Lola T294 BMW and Osella PA9 BMW
Both BMW powered Group6 Sportsracingcars that were Road Track race cars before Mauro Nesti won European Hillclimb Championships in them.

[cmetisse]

Maserati Bora and Mercedes 600 : two cars with powered but non-electric adjusted seats ! The Maser used LHM pressure to move seats, the 600 choose simply air...

Of course, the über-Merc had more, pneumatic windows, suspension, boot lid !

Sorry, but I don't know how to insert pictures...

[Paul Jaray]

I'll never stop learning fro you...
cmetisse your connection is good, but you have to continue the chain from the last ...ring, that is the Osella PA9 BMW.
Lola T294 BMW and Osella PA9 BMW  Both BMW powered Gr6 Sports cars, former Road Track race cars, European Hillclimb Championships winners with same pilot
Osella PA9 BMW and  what car?    why?

[cmetisse]

OK ! Sorry, I've misunderstood... and broken the chain ! 

[Amsterdam]

Osella PA9 BMW and the Chiribiri Monza (1.5 litre)

Both cars where driven by Italian racecar drivers who started their carreer racing motorcycles
Osella PA9 BMW Mauro Nesti and Chiribiri Monza Tazio Giorgio Nuvolari

[Paul Jaray]

OK ! Sorry, I've misunderstood... and broken the chain !

No problem at all..as you can see it can be restored at any time  .
There are few, simple rules: continue the chain, find always new connections, you can choose any (real) car you decide (even more than once), the connection has to define the car ('both cars are yellow' or 'my parents had both of them' are not valid ones) and you can not continue if you are the last ring unless a week is passed without any valid reply. If 2 weeks pass by without any other ring, the last one only get the points. Simple connections ('both cars have the same engine') get one point, hardest connections up to 5 point.

Chiribiri Monza (1.5 litre) and 1922 Vulcan 20 HP Tourer

Chiribiri & C and Vulcan Motor Engineering both stopped production of passenger cars in 1928.

[Paul Jaray]

Nobody thought of this before!

Some sources report that Lancia took over Chiribiri in 1927, but It's fine for me!

[Amsterdam]

1922 Vulcan 20 HP Tourer and the 1908 Rapid passeger car

Both cars where produced by a company that was founded by two brothers

Brothers Thomas and Joseph Hampson  - Vulcan Motor Manufacturing and Trading
Brothers Max en Morris Grabowsky - Grabowsky Motor Vehicle Company

Both cars where produced by a comany that had a change in name

Vulcan Motor Manufacturing and Trading  into Vulcan Motor and Engineering
Grabowsky Motor Vehicle Company into Rapid Motor Vehicle Company

Both cars where produced by a company that also produced trucks delivery vans and busses

and both cars where produced by a company that in the year 1906 had to move to a bigger premises because of a company expansion

[Paul Jaray]

Wow...

[Amsterdam]

Great game PJ 
This is fun

[Paul Jaray]

Thank you... you are proving what my idea was: each one of us has got a really deep knowledge, and we can apply it at almost every car...

[metalshapes]

1908 Rapid passeger car and 1954 Packard Panther

Both companies gave out Stock Certificates.

[metalshapes]

Pics..

[Paul Jaray]

Another good one!
Since it is not against the rules, connections between manufacturers may keep this chain alive for a long time!

[Amsterdam]

1954 Packard Panther and the Oldsmobile F-88

Both cars where handbuilt two seater fiberglass convertible conceptcars from 1954

[Paul Jaray]

We already had "both are fiberglass" and "both are one-off"...the rest is good!

[Amsterdam]

Oh ok... sorry!


Both cars where handbuilt two seater convertible cars from 1954

that's cleaned up

[metalshapes]

 Oldsmobile F-88 and 1961 Ferrari California Spyder.

They both set records for highest amount paid at auctions.
( Ferrari for highest amount ever, Olds for highest amount at B-J )

[Amsterdam]

Ferrari California Spyder and the Porsche 911 2.2

Both cars came out of a model line of wich each manufacturer designed and produced their largest number of different models
Ferrari California Spyder from the 250 series
Porsche 911 2.2 from the 911 series

[Paul Jaray]

Keep on...!

[metalshapes]

Porsche 911 2.2 and Mercedes  MGP W01

Both got a increase in wheelbase to improve the handling.

[Paul Jaray]

Since you seems to enjoy this chain, I'll spend few lines to explain, again, the point-system:

Generic link (same name-same builder-same year-both FWD- etc..):                              1 point. it can be used for thousands of different cars.
Harder link (model's name & driver's name- both production ended the same year- etc..)   2 points. can be used for different cars, but not many
Very hard link (both cars had a political assassinated in it- etc..)                                    3 points. few cars can share this link
Impossible link                                                                                                           4 points. probably only these 2 cars shares this link

It's just an example, since only the last one will get point(s) but it can give you an idea on which connections aim...

[Amsterdam]

.....and you get the point(s) if the connection sticks for two weeks..... right?


So..... we are back in F1......



Mercedes  MGP W01 and the 2000 Sauber C19

Both cars share the same supplier in fuel and tires (Petronas & Bridgestone)

[metalshapes]

2000 Sauber C19  and Rhys Millen's Hyundai Genesis coupe.

They both have the same sponsor.
