Lämmle Hurricane special on a Volkswagen chassis / Switzerland

grobmotorix · February 20, 2011, 01:15:10 AM

O.K.

This is my BIG hint - and I try to make it possible to be solved by non-german speakers, too:

It´s a name that stems from the swabian region, so it ends with the typical diminuitive ending "XXXXXXle", the first part being the german name for a cute animal.

Tell me the name of the young animal in whatever language and this puzzle will be solved. And do NOT count the Xs...

Kitten
(Katzchen) with an umlaut on 'a'
So perhaps Katzchenle?

Allemano · February 20, 2011, 03:15:22 AM

I would say 'Kätzle' then.

Ėriukų

This is lithuanian and means lamb.

So I go for Lämmle.

Allemano · February 20, 2011, 03:24:33 AM

Then I also have to through "Kükle" in.

WENDAX DID IT!!!

It is indeed a one-off special, built upon a Volkswagen 1200 chassis by two brothers Lämmle from Switzerland.
I´ll check if there were any more details, when I´ll be back home!

Although my father was born in Lithuania, I don't speak a single word Lithuanian (my father did neither). So I relied on Bing Translator, but as I expected: they can't even translate a single word correctly.

Arunas · February 20, 2011, 10:39:11 AM

At least google is developing teh translator (LT-EN-LT, I mean) quite nicely. The problem is, that people often can't translate texts properly and I'm not even talking about the machines.

To be correct this was the Lämmle Hurricane:

Arunas · February 20, 2011, 01:49:22 PM

Looks nice!

Limo · February 21, 2011, 03:55:53 AM

wow, that's a car they even don't know about in Switzerland!

Djetset · February 20, 2019, 05:15:46 AM

This doesn't show up on a Search, but it does look familiar. So, for a point, what it this called?

Djetset · March 12, 2019, 01:12:42 PM

Up to the Experts...

kwgibbs · March 12, 2019, 01:40:54 PM

Is it the hurricane special that's on a vw 1200 chassis from Switzerland?
