Spot on, I amazed about the breath of knowledge a bunch of petrolheads has between them.

Your turn

No new question?
Well here's an easy one for the time being
By what other name did the band The Who carry out their trade?

The detours rings a bell. I'm not 100 % confident on that.

 

[daverichardson]

Afraid not

 

[daverichardson]

Well I thought it was easy!
Seems I was wrong or is it a lack of interest?
I will post the answer this afternoon
I guess you either know it or you don't and clues for this type of Q are difficult to provide
Poor Q?

 

[midlifecrisis]

Can I ask a friend?

 

[midlifecrisis]

And not Google!

You have a friend? A real one not a virtual one on here?

Must admit I have no idea about this question it is in the "I don't know & don't think I have ever known" category of my knowledge bank

 

[allandwf]

I thought I should know, but don't! :/

 

[hodroyd]

Could be either Roger Daltry & The Who...Or...High Numbers which was more of a nickname I think.?

Not a poor question at all. every now and again we hit a subject that nobody knows anything about. Once the answer is revealed then it's something most of us will store away for future reference.

 

[daverichardson]

Hodroyd has it
High Numbers
I saw them perform as this many moons ago
over to you

I did mean a work colleague but he didn't either.

It's a very good question and one we all know now for future reference. Our collective knowledge has increased.

Ooooeerr....OK a question: Which Italian car manufacturer manufactured an F1 car for the Williams Racing Team in 1970..??

 

[BennyD]

The only Italian car maker I can think of doing daft things back then was DeTomaso but I'm not sure about an F1 connection.

 

[hodroyd]

For heavens sake...!!! Give the man a gold star for a lucky guess..!!
Over to you matey..!!

 

[zagatoes30]

Bugger know that one but was too slow, getting Euro & Pounds confused again

 

[BennyD]

Wow! It was a lucky guess but based on a little knowledge. Ok then, on September 15th there will be a massed take-off of Spitfires from Goodwood. By what name was the aerodrome known during the war and which airfield was it a satellite of?
