The little Christmas quiz...

PostPost by: elansprint71 » Fri Dec 02, 2011 9:21 am

Feel free to add any question whatever.

Here is a question which relates to this forum and possibly concerns something in the drinking water.

What do nebogipfel, J. Effingham Bellweather and Harold Bissonette have in common?

My dear fellow; I believe that you have included a superfluous letter "N" in the surname, I suggest that you exercise a little more self-control- never drink anything stronger than Gin before breakfast. :wink:

Come on chaps, the clues are all there. By the way- did I say that the person who guesses correctly sets the next question? :D

Need a clue?

J. Effingham Bellweather and Harold Bissonette were characters played by WC Fields. Two members currently have WC as their avatar but nebogipfel does not.

What is the connection between nebogipfel and these two WCs?

Note: whilst the Lotus Elsan and Lotus Elsan Sprint also tenuously link these fellows, that is not what we are after today.

In terms of the total number of units produced annually - which Company is the world's largest manufacturer of tyres (tires)? No googling!!!

Back later!

Surprised no attempts yet!

A bloke from Pirelli asked me this a couple of weeks ago- so I know the answer! It's a good question. :D
