This would be the third Autech and only two are allowed.

Paul, you should edit your post and add a Roles XS-3 Roadstar picture so that it's easier to get noticed.

Sorry, my fault for not noticing the new car (I was a bit confused I think as oko's Roles post was actually captioned "Roles XS3 Roadster" (note not "Roadstar"...))
We have correctly ignored posts #277 to #280 and carried on with the Exellence Roadstar.

Isuzu Deseo

Wasn't that Isuzu Deseo Concept  ::)

Isuzu Deseo

Wasn't that Isuzu Deseo Concept  ::)

I thought concepts were allowed. If we can carry on using the description "concept" then we can follow on as "convertible" or "coupe" or whatever. IMO that's a bit silly. Just my opinion.

PS Sorry Otto. Can you adjudicate?

[Carnut]

Nobody else made a Deseo then?!

I can't find one!

How about the '92 Ford Thunderbird Deseo V6?
I think it was one of quite a few special editions marketed in Mexico in the early 90s, but I wouldn't stake my life savings on it!

Whilst we're on the subject of fouls, much earlier I followed a "600" by posting a Lola T600, but I deliberately typed the model as T 600 in order to qualify. I feel ashamed  :D. My Jaguar XK120 has been followed by a 120 which technically are not the same designation.

Where do we stand on this? I'm asking in a light-hearted manner by the way - I just don't want to see any heated arguments which are not in the spirit of AP.

I fear this is becoming a bit of an administrative challenge. Let's agree on this:

For alphanumeric names, it is OK to detach the numerals from the letters and use either. However, should somebody be so inclined, lopping letters off of an all-letters name is not OK; nor is lopping digits from an all-numbers name.

Another foul, « Reply #91 on: January 17, 2017, 04:20:45 PM » Was skipped

Locomobile Model 4 Tourer

Good point.  1min 8secs between that and the next answer, so they probably crossed in the ether. Seems to be a drawback of the game.

I think we'd all better wait for the OP to adjudicate.

We can go two ways with this:

1. Reset the puzzle at Locomobile Model 4 (or 48) Tourer.
2. Continue from the current state.

I'd lean toward the latter since I cannot be online 24/7 to police the puzzle. 

I will defer to the wisdom of PJ, Norman, and Wendax (and any other Admins/editors who are active in this puzzle, and whom I may have missed).

If we're moving on from the Locomobile, then, going back to the rules posted at the beginning: Does "Deseo" appear anywhere on the car?

If not, we could re-set to Isuzu Deseo. However, that car was posted by the gent who earlier posted the 3rd Nissan in sequence without me catching it.

So, we'll instead re-set to Isuzu Bellett 1600GT (Reply #287), if the Locomobile question is settled as "move on". 

[Carnut]

I've found a couple of pictures of the "Ford Thunderbird Deseo" but can't read any badges at all, so I can't say if it was written on the car or not..   

If we take the path of continuing despite the Locomobile error then the puzzle has effectively ended at Isuzu Deseo, unless it has to be written as Isluzu Deseo Concept, but that opens up a new can of worms as what concept car actually had "Concept" written on it?!  Is "Concept Car" a name or a description?  I wouldn't support allowing "Concept" as a name.

PersonallY I would take Otto's Option 1 and reset the puzzle at pguillem's Locomobile Model 48 Tourer and just ignore all the posts since then, as that maintains continuity and the integrity of the puzzle.  It's easy to do, just carry on from that post..  But what do other Admins think?
