Just while we take a second look at Psymon's picture puzzle, I thought I'd post the weekly update.

Well what a week it has been.

To all the participants a well earned round of applause


After one of the slowest starts to a week, thanks to David's question from down under, the pace picked up and soon went into top gear, with the second highest number of questions in one week ever recorded. A very mixed bag of interesting questions and some very interesting answers too.

The scores on the doors after 156 Questions, 1607 replies, over 23,800 views ...... The MG Quiz Hall of Fame




A warm welcome to the MG Quiz to Gary, Gadget2466 who notched up an impressive two wins in his debut appearance.
A face we haven't seen for a while, Psymon, moves up in to joint 10th alongside Leigh Ping.
MartinW and rog1963 each moved up two places in the league table to take 7th and 8th places, respectively.
With his win David Aikegate is now level pegging on 10 with Bryan Young in joint 5th place.
An impressive 3 wins widens the gap with 4th for 3rd place Mr Forgetful, who is chasing winner of two question, Tsleight.

To see last weeks positions see here

Handy tip. If you're not sure if a question has been asked before, to use the Search facility (top of the page on the right) to check if your answer / car / location / person etc., has ever been mentioned in the MG Quiz previously.

Without further ado, on with the game :woohoo:

This question looks like it will end in dead lock, the time this has lasted makes me think the MG Quiz regulars do a lot of polishing but don't like getting their hands dirty :whistle:

OK as Luckymarine is obviously out on the tiles stalking some unsuspecting prey in his stealth TF I thought I'd give the night owls a question just to keep things ticking over.

A little information first.....

The MGF was the last and the only Hydragas designed car to be converted to use coil springs.

Hydragas suspension was a development of the earlier Hydrolastic suspension system,



Part 1 of your question is to simply name, in order of production, the cars which have used Hydragas suspension



Alex Moulton was in favour of it.....



....and did it to his own car but for Part 2 of the question can you say what was fundamentally different about the Hydragas system on the MGF and the original Metro?

Was the first first system connected side to side as opposed to later version being connected front to rear??

Rog Part 2 is spot on. Part 1, before the picky brigade attack us I think you need to get them in the right order. The first few need re-jigging that's all
