MG Quiz

The landscape gives you quite a few clues, plus there are a few more in my post above. Refer to this one

NOT if you live in deepest Devon and, yes, I did note that it was a very good year except for the poor old French whilst a new Bikini was created.

I just thought we were supposed to answer the question NOT asked in case it was a double entendre in written form. :slapme:

I'll read the answer when I get back from golf (again).

And the only reason I put TC was because those are the initials of Tony Curtis. :dry:

I'd just keep quiet if I were you

OK...err...oh well.

I hope David doesn't mind if I add a few more clues to help you reach the answer.

I was surprised none of our overnight visitors didn't get this one.

A few clues to what

A fine comedian

A young man, here in 1948, who is becoming a regular on the MG Quiz

Where


Dr at the centre of the MMR vaccine scare

When


On this day in 1964 this happened

Don't forget to use the other clues you were given too

erm....didn't that happen in 1965?

My sincere apologies, rog you are correct the photo I posted in error was from their 1965 rematch.

So your clue for the When this year, is the date of the Clay/Liston first bout in which the 22-year-old Cassius Clay shocked the book-makers by dethroning world heavyweight boxing champ Sonny Liston in a seventh-round technical knockout.

Sadly, I'm still not sure of the answer

I now know the day, the car and the venue ... but not the year or event
Having fun looking though.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!!!! :slapme: thought someone had got the full answer :ohmy: I think "Boobies" was the best one so far :hugs:

Notice Mr Forgetful has gone very quiet, perhaps he is still playing golf!!! luminous balls!!! :yesnod:

Come on then rog, post what you've found so far, David may accept your answer

Does your car look anything like this one?

Ok here goes:
It's a Patterson/Brydon MGTC Special
It's at Port Wakefield Race Circuit
The day ( from the Ali clue) is 25th February
The year 1955??
At first I thought Aus Grand Prix, but Im struggling to link dates for that

Also haven't got a clue to the Tony Curtis link.

Does your car look anything like this one?

No - mine is X Power grey and the orginal picture is sepia not green - the no is different.

No, but I have just got in - I also feel that the answer to PQD44 last question is questionable see the following:-

1 Douglas AF-4 Skyhawk ? Douglas merged with McDonnell aircraft - later taken over by Boeing - Used to BOMB the bejabas out of the Vietnemese

2 NOT a M 16 Rifle originally manufactured by Colt who bought the rights from ArmaLite who were orginally part of Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation who were a subcontractor for Boeing - company now no longer in aerospace rifle manufactured later by Fabrique Nationale S.A. of Belgium OR Rifleman Jones’s backside - he was looking for a BOMB

3 Alfa Romeo Mito - Built by Fiat - uses recycled plastics and metal collected from roadside BOMBs

4 Ferrari got to cost a BOMB to buy

5 Tony Curtis and e-type jag - One a teenage BOMB for girls and the other goes like a BOMB

6 Fiat 600 TOY made by Reville - founded in 1943/45 won’t bore you with history but make models of cars boats, trains and planes which have BOMBS although toy ones.

7 Alvis TF 21 - Alvis was part of Rover (1965) sold to United Scientific Holdings - subsequently Alvis Ltd - bought GKN armoured division then Vickers Defence Systems then formed a subsid Alvis Vickers ltd which eventually was bought out by BAE systems (which had owned Rover plc in 1990’s) - all make vehicles that have Bomb like qualities BUT it was because the Alvis TF21 Cost a BOMB

So the answer is BOMB - and given the fact that some MGF’s have recently “blown Up” due to a loose fuel pipe the answer is MGF.

Q.E.D.
