Question of the day

[daverichardson]

Well a shocker!

What claim to fame does Kirsty Bartarelli have?

 

[daverichardson]

ok
a clue or 2
She was /is a singer and songwriter although I had never heard of her
She married a Swiss guy who won an Americas cup session
She was runner up in a miss UK contest
but none of these are her claim to fame which was noted in that ultra left wing organ (not) the Daily Mail

 

[GeoffCapes]

Isn't she the richest woman in the country?

 

[daverichardson]

That's the girl
something like 9.5 billion GBP
More than the Queen + J K Rowling
Mind it helps if you marry into a pharmaceutical company's founder
She is quite bonny too

 

[GeoffCapes]

Was that the answer?

 

[daverichardson]

Yes
Your go

In 2004 Toyota did something in the USA which had not been done for over 40 years.

What did they do?

Built an interesting car?

On second thoughts that is just too unlikely.

 

[daverichardson]

A car re-call for seat belt defects?
Oh no that is now!

 

[GeoffCapes]

Both nos.

Interesting Toyota car...... the Supra? MR2? Celica GT4?

Keep going ... !

 

[allandwf]

Keep going ... !

2000GT was good looking.

 

[StuartW]

Fair enough and the early 70s (more than 40 years ago now) first generation Celica wasn't too shabby

They might have been, but it's not the answer.

 

[spkennyuk]

Topped the most or least number of recalls charts ?

 

[GeoffCapes]

Nope.

It's nothing to do with recalls or uninspiring cars.

 

[GeoffCapes]

As a clue it's to do with Motorsport.

 

[spkennyuk]

Formula 1 podium finishes or disqualifications ?

Its question of the day Mark. Reveal it and set another question. Keeps the thread rolling.

 

[Zep]

Was it the first non domestic manufacturer to win a NASCAR series?
