MG Quiz

I'm off to work. I'll have a think on it there. I wouldn't hold your breath though as I'm now thinking of Kiki Dee.

1) It’s new and MG related - OK it's some months old now - it will be even older if this keeps up THIS IS NEARLY 6 MONTHS OLD NOW

2) Time flies It’s back to the past - in more ways than one - Time, Back, a further clue there are 2 (TWO) past connections THIS QUESTION IS ALMOST A DAY OLD COME ON MEN (Think as Sarkozy would)

3) Her name - well was she a she or a he - depends who you listen to - Well what more do you need THINK, THINK HER NAME WAS


What am I referring to? Please be a little detailed as to
1) - What does it relate to
2) There are TWO things here - both please
3) Self Explanatory - but just BRIEF details please

Come along peeps - this can be easily solved if you have the right song in your head - Barry Manilow or The Kinks

If this carries on much longer I'll post the answer and pass the Baton. Sorry I really thought this would be a quick one

1) MG Motor sponsor RLR Motorsport driving the MG Lola EX265
2) ???? Past Lola cars 264 257??? all I can think of but can't tie it to Time Flies Back
3) Her name would be Lola? how it could be thought Male I have no idea, so perhaps I am barking up the wrong tree again.

Gadget2466 I am going to give it to you for 90% of the answer and 110% effort.

MG has returned to international motorsport but as a partner of ambitious Le Mans Series contenders Team RLR.

Following the successful launch of its brand new MG6 Magnette sports saloon, MG has renewed its famous sporting heritage by becoming an official sponsor of Lancashire-based Team RLR as it competes in the prestigious Le Mans Series with the MG Lola EX265 sports prototype with its new Judd 'HK' engine based on a production BMW 4.0 litre V8.

So it’s Le Mans 24 hour racing (again) and the re-association (loose it is true) with BMW through the engine choice.

How Lola could be a male - The Kinks version - last verse :-

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man,
but I know what I am and that I'm a man,
so is Lola.

Some think this refers to a Transvestite ?? Barry Manilow - Copacabana has a totally different meaning

The Time clue - Later amended to nearly a day now - 24 Hours and Sarkozy - Men Le Mans

Sorry, Sorry Sorry everyone, I really thought Brian, Paul Tsleight would have had this so much earlier. I will retire
Lo lo lo Lola. Lo lo lo Lola.

After all the picky, Bolshy stick you've given me recently Ted I think you got what was coming. At least my 6 Kiwis generated a few amusing answers

You hardly tried !! At least I "delved" into Kiwi fruit origins in great detail and diseases for the HGF link I think I will have to go with the men in white coats who are knocking on the door. la la la la la lo lo lo lo

:lol: I'm too young for the Kinks Ted. Of course I know Lola as the Showgirl, thats where I was struggling.
I guess Bryan and Tsleight have other things on, I'd have expected them to get it too.

I have a very simple one coming or what I think is a rather tricky one - what would everyone like

Go tricky, you only live once

Lets try that again.

Here is the Tricky option, which I am sure will go in no time.

Please can you tell me how these cars are linked to MG?
and the key point which involves each Car

Do you want the answer now or should I give the others a chance?

Gentlemen of the MG Quiz I'll give you until tomorrow to find the links

Here's a couple of better pics of the first one

bugger! clever clogs!

I thought that would be tricky. was it the original photo names which gave it away :lol:

errr nope.

I reckon in our recent research we both stumbled across the same link and arrived at the story

Pure chance :lol:
