Nothing to do with France, I'm afraid, and nothing to do with the Gordon Bennett race.  Please let's try another number (and score a -10) : 1943 ?
Bennet Automotive from Hayward, California, builder of the Cobra replica of the 70s.

I have to say that since now you have not been lucky...you pick some hard nuts and I'm glad you have fun the way you like it!
I have to quit too for a while now but felt like saying that before.  ;)

Great!

1,244, please

QuoteYour following numbers can't be close to the previous and has to be chosen between 50 more or 50 less.
(example: you try 1234? next ones have to be higher than 1284 or lower than 1184).

Probably the word 'between' is misleading here...I mean 'has to be higher or lower than more of 50 unities'. Fixed.

Ugg - I hit 'modify' instead of 'quote', above.

1,290 please.

AVION

Your score:22

Back in 1984, Craig Henderson and Bill Green built a one-of-a-kind super fuel-efficient car called the Avion. In 1986, it set the Guinness world record for fuel economy by averaging 103.7USmpg (2.27L/100km) while driving from the Mexican to Canadian borders. Unlike most autos from that era, the Avion is still on the road... and breaking its own records. In October 2008, Henderson and Green achieved 113.1mpg (2.08 L/100km) on a 263-mile (423 km) trip in the US Pacific Northwest. Then, this August 29th, they departed from Blaine, Washington (adjacent to the Canadian border) and drove 1,478 miles (2,379 km) to the Mexican border. They used just 12.4 US gallons (46.94 L) of diesel and set a new record of 119.1mpg (1.97L/100km).

You wanna be the man, you gotta Name That Car!
