So, with your permission Paul - BRIAN - where are you - and please, please, please, don’t set one about the Whitworth size of the hexagonal nut that fixes the whatnot to the thingamajig :rant:

Thats 2 3/4 micro-whatsits isn't it???

Mr Forgetful, you are perfectly entitled to disagree with anything I say, I disagree with most of what I say. :bust:

You may certainly request, as the rightful winner of the last question, that someone else sets a question.

Your 1/2, as you so modestly put it, was correct, unlike the 'revelation' by Bryan that the first use of the MG logo on a car was in 1931 :omg:

To be serious for just a moment and, judging on past form, Bryan's question will undoubtedly be very interesting and open up a hither to unexplored avenue of MG trivia in the T-Bar MG Quiz.

As requested and by popular demand i will pose the next question and just for Mr Forgetful What is the size of the nuts that hold the cylinder head on to an 1800cc "B" series MGB engine? clue they are not Whitworth :coat:


NOW SERIOUSLY THOUGH THIS IS THE REAL QUESTION :woohoo:


1. Name and date of this car?

2. What size and type of engine?

3. Name of the British chap who built them.







Good luck

Please Sir, Please Sir, I know this - it's just that at the moment I can't find where I hid - sorry - stored this in my MG Quiz bookmarks folder. :rant: :rant:

Drat, drat drat - and I must go to bed as I have work - sorry, GOLF tomorrow. Good luck :bust:
