Question of the day

[spkennyuk]

No idea of the blokes name. I seem to remember he is from New York.

I suppose at the moment he breaks two or three records every time he takes on a new world record. The new world record for his latest challenge plus highest number of records won and highest number of current records held if he is the current highest.

Doesnt help much when i cant recall what the bloke is called.

 

[zagatoes30]

Well there seems to be agreement that he is American which is correct, he is also from New York so SPK is closet to date

lol

 

[zagatoes30]

Well the person in question has broken over 600 world records in total

 

[spkennyuk]

I will guess he still holds around 210 then.

Still cant recall the blokes name either.

 

[spkennyuk]

I think your going to have to reveal and set a new question Andy.

 

[Navcorr]

A few quick fire Qs gents? Maybe an easy one to get things going:

What links Concorde & the Spitfire with Aston Martin, Ferrari and of course Maserati?
More to follow if needed.

 

[daverichardson]

Breakdowns?

 

[Navcorr]

Happy New Year Dave - I see your dodgy shoulder hasn't dented the sense of humour Hope that heals quickly for you.

Err - no I'm afraid. Another couple to add to the list - Rolls Royce & Bentley.

 

[Navcorr]

A couple more to add to the list - QEII liner & the Palace of Westminster.

 

[Navcorr]

Another two to add to the list - if no takers by the morning will name the company in question to move things on:

Jaguar and Bowers & Wilkins.

Something small I believe but will let others answer as I am off up North now.

Jaguar and Bowers & Wilkins.

To finish this one off - the company was Connolly Leather.
With the eponymous "Connollisation" being the process of leather restoration.

Why is it the link? Just that they all had connolly leather?

Simple as that. Connelly's association with RR provided the springboard to becoming the leather of choice for numerous luxury uses. Even gaining a Royal Warrant. No longer trading though and is a rather sad story:

Back to Dave's question though - not a scoobie here.
