Time for another group puzzle. Like my "Ice Ice Baby" puzzle last year, this frosty puzzle is all about finding the pairs within the following 30 pictures. The links may be easy, but I hope some are far-off. :D
Points will be awarded after all pairs have been found.
Although I don't like it that much, I may be forced to limit the number of guesses per day, let's see.
Have fun!

2 and 18: Bell Aurens Longnose and other longnose...
Nice try :D
#2 is correctly identified. The pairing is not right. Perhaps you should have acloser look at the other pictures...
Cool puzzle
;D
I hope the experts are warming up in order to post some guesses.
A small hint: at least one part of each pairing is a cold one. ;)
#9 fire and ice, #19 fire on ice?
It seems you have correctly identified #9. But no connection to #19 which still needs to be identified.
#1 Guy frequelin Buggy, #4Manta: guy frequelin manta ?

#1 Guy frequelin Buggy, #4Manta: guy frequelin manta ?
The first pair is found, well done.
#1 is a Buffalo buggy driven by Guy Fréquelin at the Neige et Glace 1973. #4 is the France-only special edition Opel Manta B "Guy Fréquelin", 500 of them built in 1984.
#11 4CV convertible, #14 4cv based JC Galtier (lyon charbonnieres 1954)
(I got the last one with google "vw buggy neige"... and black & White picture... don't ask me why...)

#11 is a converted 4CV, but that's not the connection I had in mind.
You found the correct ID for #14. The car is not unknown here: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=19373.0
But unfortunately they don't make a pair here.

#27 is Ivan the Terra bus.
#17 isn't a Lauster, and they don't make a pair.

Correctly identified, but they don't pair.
Remember that not only cars have to be identified, but also matched to pairs connected by the reason I had in mind. ;D
found another picture of the "Gelateria van" (my research under google)
(http://www.magazin-z.ch/files/images/2010/7/mob2778_1278428300.jpg)
Have a go, pros!
To get this one moving I added the correct identifications to the list.
#23, the Trophée Andros ice-racing electric car makes a pair with #5, the Greek island of Andros, in the Cyclades.
Here goes nothing
No21 is from a James Bond movie showing some chasing at Cortina d'Ampezzo, where the Coppa d'Oro race is held. I think the connection is the Coppa d'Oro race, but I have yet to find the car
No6 and No17: 6 is a Hansa-Lloyd electric truck, No17 is the Treff-As-Wagen which was made by Hansa-Lloyd

I like your way of thinking, so I give you the hint that you're looking in the wrong direction, but the chasing should be considered more intensely.

No, have a closer look at the Bond picture ;)
The connection is Rossignol?
That would be too easy, wouldn't it?
#24 - Midland c.1910 and #26 - Midland Counties Ice-Cream van?
No22 was taken at Takoma Park, MD. Is this the basis for a connection?

Yes ;D
Could it be that No21 and No25 are a pair?
No25 is a Ferdinand Porsche Memorial race in Salzburg (Zell-am-See) in 1955 where cars pulled skiers along (ski-joring).
I think something similar is happening in the chase sequence

Nice idea, but no connection here
No7 is an ice cream tricycle with a Zündapp engine, made by Juery and used by the Ortiz family in France (I tried to google it in German, Italian and then French - triporteurs glacies - and finally I found it).
I think Ortiz is the connection. Am I right?

Very good! That was one of the tougher ones.
I think there's another half-solved one.
#27, the Foremost Ivan the Terra Bus, which could pair with #12, a Seat Panda Terra.

Not sure about this one but could a pair be #16 - Minibus based on a Fiat 1100? and #28 - Fiat 1100-based Gelateria van...

Yes, this pair (#16 - #28) locked for you to find out which coachbuilder built #16.
#16 appears to be a Military or Police minibus.
I found the photo of a vehicle with a similar front on AP's Italian Coachbuilders feature (see below).
I'm guessing the coachbuilder may be Savio?
Yes, #16 is a Fiat 1100 I Camionetta by Savio, mainly built for Italian police and carabinieri.
Just one more try before I stop (otherwise you may be tempted to limit the number of guesses per day!)

Thanks for reminding me of the threatened limit. But I'm rather glad this puzzle picked up speed finally.
#8 is a Henschel steam truck. That's a start, but I doubt that this is sufficient to find the connection.
No steam engine in #11.

That really was a "tongue in cheek" guess!
I can't imagine a steam-powered 4CV selling ice-cream! :bag:
It is early morning so I do all kind of crazy stuff. I just googled Renault 4CV Ortiz just for fun and look what popped up!
So No7 and No11 are a pair:
No7 is an ice cream tricycle with a Zündapp engine, made by Juery and used by the Ortiz family in France
No30: Pic from the 1969 Woodstock festival. Is this the basis for connection?

Yes, our member GV CREATIONS has created a nice site about that car. So, another pair is found.

It seems as if the picture 30 really was taken at Woodstock, sorry for the confusion. I took it from an article about another festival. I've replaced it now by a photo hopefully taken at the event in question.

Not Glastonbury
Was this an American festival?
I'm not sure if I've completely worked this one through, but I think there's a connection between #9, The VW Golf "Fire and Ice" special edition, and #21, Roger Moore in "For Your Eyes Only", the link being Alpine ski racer, film maker and fashion designer Willy Bogner Jr.
The VW special edition was supposed to have been inspired by Willy Bogner's film "Fire, Ice & Dynamite" (1990), and coincided with his 1990 sportswear collection, also called "Fire + Ice". I'm not sure if he had any involvement in designing the interior of the car - the sources I have been looking at are not clear on that point.
Earlier, for the Bond film "For Your Eyes Only", Willy Bogner had directed and filmed the ski scenes at Cortina, and in picture #21 Roger Moore is dressed in Bogner skiwear.
Very good. Nothing to add to your perfect answer. :thumbsup:

ight festival, not even in Britain.
Sorry to ask, Wendax, but are you sure about the replacement picture #30? While looking around for photos of pop festivals, I've found it was used by Newsweek magazine on the cover of a 1994 issue, looking back to Woodstock after 25 years. It could be a mistake, of course, but working back from that, it also appears on some other sites as being from Woodstock, the photo credited to Jim Marshall.
It's all a bit confusing, and it's getting late here, so I'll have to leave things for tonight, and come back tomorrow.

I'm terribly sorry to mislead you involuntarily. Never trust the internet!
I took the pictures from a site about the festival in question where they seem to have mixed up the pictures with Woodstock ones. I replaced #30 again. This time it should be correct as I found another reference.
After having searched for ice-cream trucks/vans whatever, I'd come up with very little that might help to solve the remaining puzzles of that genre. Ice-cream trucks are all very well - colourful/different but it was leading me nowhere......
So I decided to look at some of the apparently more obscure images that might lead to a name or some other pointer.
Take #03 - what is it I'm looking at here? It's obviously a painting but what is it?
- a traffic queue for a car park at Cap Canaveral? a drive-in movie (no screen)? some sort of futuristic car park (where do you park the cars?)
After Googling several permutations on the drive-in theme I came across this painting by an artist named William Alexander Fine Art. Apparently it's a drive-in church!
It was only by chance that I had a look at some of his other creations on his site - and lo and behold, I found that he had also built an ice-cream truck - made of cardboard and selling ice-cream cones shaped in cardboard and filled with emulsion paint as the substitute for the ice-cream!
Anyway, apologies for the rambling on a bit but I suppose you shouldn't be put off by the obscure images Wendax has posted here, there is a connection lurking under the surface.....
Oh, and I nearly forgot - the pairing should be #03 - William Alexander's painting of a Drive-In Church and #20 - William Alexander's Ice-Cream Truck sculpture.
Well, I'm quite impressed by your sleuthing abilities. :applause:
I think this was one of the hardest combinations to find, especially starting the way at this unknown picture. I came across this artist by looking for icecreamvan pictures, liked his "icecreamvanman" performance and looked for something I could connect it to.
Great detective work. The rest should be easy now. ;)
Fantastic, congratulations woodinsight
Thank you but I don't think the remaining puzzles will be that easy!
I'll have a go at these of course but at the moment I'll probably be having nightmares about ice-cream trucks - especially of the cardboard variety with emulsion paint flavours!
Impressive or what?!

:yuck: ! ! !
I learned how to drive a truck with a crash box (non-synchro transmission) while driving an ice cream truck one summer in sunny Fresno, California. An old GMC with a "granny-gear" so ya started off in 2nd and all the gears were straight cut. Served me well in learning to double-clutch (I still do it sometimes without even thinking about it) and heel-and toe and clutchless shifting. I may join you with nightmares about ice-cream trucks. :)
RtR
I've also been spending too much time on ice cream trucks...
I've been looking into #10, and can report that Eiscafé Venezia in Weener is still in business after 42 years, and that #10 was their first ice cream van in 1972. But not much else of any use.
So I began to think that the vehicle itself might be the clue. I don't know much about these small three-wheel trucks - they are almost unknown on British roads - and I assumed it was a Piaggio Ape, as that was the only one that I had really come across. But a quick look around showed that it wasn't one of those, and a slightly longer look around revealed it to be an Innocenti Lambro (or Lambretta Lambro, if you prefer).
Now, if you Google the single word "lambro", apart from these vehicles, you bring up pictures of naked people cavorting around at a pop festival, and suddenly there's a link to picture #30.
So it seems that in 1975 and 1976 there were two festivals in the Parco Lambro in Milan. I confess I had never heard of them, and they don't even appear in the Wikipedia main article about rock festivals, which lists dozens of them. They were called Festival del Proletariato Giovanile, which I guess translates as something like "festival of working-class youth", and were organised by a magazine called Re Nudo, which I'm afraid I have also never heard of.
So I think the connection is between #10, an Innocenti/Lambretta Lambro, and #30, a pop festival at Parco Lambro, Milan.
Another fine piece of detective work. Well done, Tom_I. :thumbsup:
I can assure you that I didn't know of the Parco Lambro festival before either.
Well done Tom - you should be dubbed an APSS - Auto Puzzles Super Sleuth! :thumbsup:
Not sure if I've found another pair but I think #13 and #15 may be.
#13 is Mirko Draghi's Motoguzzi Ercole (Hercules) ice-cream three-wheeler and #15 may be a Hercules carrier cycle?
Right idea, wrong match. Have another look at the remaining pictures... ;D
sorry, woodinsight:
#13 is Mirko Draghi's Motoguzzi Ercole (Hercules) ice-cream three-wheeler
No 22: Hercules Petroleum Oil Co Dome Gas Takoma Park MD
Let's try again......
#13 features Mirko Draghi's ice-cream three-wheeler, his own business and on his website it states that he spends his winters skiing.
#25 features a Porsche 356, Mathe-Porsche and other cars towing skiers at an ice race in Bavaria in 1955.
Is that a connection?

Pal snatched #13, so this can't be right, but your close look at #25 showed you something worth following. ;)
I think #19 shows the ice skating dancers Irina Rodnina & Alexsandr Zaitsev winning a world championship in Munich (Bavaria) whilst #25 is the ski race in Bavaria behind cars in 1955.
I doubt if this is correct as it would leave the last pair without an 'ice' connection.
I don't know who is dancing in #19, so I guess it's of no importance to the puzzle. ;)
#19 and #25 don't make a pair.

It was used in Austria. The year I have is one during WW2.
An accident helped. No15 is Otto Mathe's Lieferfahrrad (Transportation Bicycle) from 1940
And on No25 his self-made racecar is visible at the start of the ski-joring race in 1955
Which leaves No8 and No19 as the last pair. (I was wrong after all :))
If No19 shows the Ice Hall in Kassel, then we have a connection :) Am I right?

Yes, during WW2 Otto Mathé developed his fuel additive "Mathé Universal" which he delivered by bike in the beginning. His race car, the Fetzenflieger, appeared at AutoPuzzles before: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=10239.0

No points for finding the last pair. :D
I don't know where picture #19 was taken, so you have to look for another connection.
#8, the Henschel steam truck, used mechanical features designed by the American company Doble, and my guess is that the skaters in #19 are performing a Paso Doble (for which there is a set sequence of steps and moves), which is often included in ice dancing competitions.

Though I didn't score anything here I enjoyed reading the replies of this quirky and well arranged puzzle! :thumbsup:
Thanks, this was fun. Onwards and upwards
