MG Quiz

One more clue to part 1) a name, well half of it

If you're going to start posting those sort of photos PQD :nonod: ; I might have to reconsider my visiting the quiz pages. Not the sort of thing I wish to see straight after breakfast ... or at any time!! :lol:

Seriously though, apologies for not taking part this past week, been rather busy of an evening trying master dreamweaver. that's enough to fry anyone's brain.
I am watching though

No idea on the quiz but I just wanted to point out an interesting 'line' on Mr Barlow's forehead.

:slapme: Focus, come on ladies and gentlemen.

Take a look at the words in bold in the first post at the top of the page. It is time to earn yourself another slice of pie.

But Gary's syrup is much more interesting!
























Roger Barlow
Carrozzeria Castagna
MG Y

In the 1960s, Roger Barlow, then co-owner of International Motors, purchased a complete Y-Type chassis and had the [MG] factory ship it direct to Castagna in Italy. (Carrozzeria Castagna was one of the leading Italian coachbuilders of the era). Roger had designed a beautiful drophead coupe body for the Y-chassis, which he had fitted with chrome Borrani wheels.

"When the car arrived Los Angeles, Roger brought it to my Venice Boulevard shop and together we put the finishing touches to the car and at the same time I installed a Shorrock supercharger. As strikingly beautiful it was, it proved to be a slug performance-wise due to its weight.

Assuming the stunned silence means that Paul has fallen off his perch, because of the shock of realising his hero Gary wears a wig and/or that the answer is correct...:shrug:

What's this?



I know it's a red car, so don't start! :spank:

It's a disused runway
