In the distance, he spied the approach of an Expert Autopuzzler who would, without a doubt, identify this fine machine.

His hopeful anticipation waned, as he feared the experts would never put down their copies of "Kit Cars Illustrated".

George Ellis with his 1892 Automobile

See what I mean?

George H. Ellis from Minneapolis built his first car in 1892 and it was so noisy that when he attempted to drive it from Minneapolis to participate the Chicago Times Herald Contest in 1895, the police of Evanston (Illinois) ordered him to leave town for disturbing the peace.

(I know another source calls this very pic as a Deering Harvester Company product, but I couldn't find any proof about it)

Maybe you should tweet yourself?

It was just a kind remember that the point is still missing...

Otto Puzzell · February 16, 2010, 02:36:12 PM

I'm pretty sure I gave you a point when I moved it.

But if you say I forgot, I believe you. Point added.

Allemano · February 16, 2010, 02:49:36 PM

It's just to let him take the lead again....

Usually I don't take note of it, but I start to count them the latest 2:

-70 http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=11048.0
and this.

Otto Puzzell · February 16, 2010, 03:39:01 PM

Did I forget to give you a point on the other one?

Paul Jaray · February 16, 2010, 06:35:34 PM

Now should be correct.
I don't know if you gave me one for the other and not for this one or viceversa, but now they are all in their new home, with many friends..
