The Marbella was the Panda and the first Ibiza was the Ritmo...but they were back in the 80's and I only thought they did those two...

I'll give it to you. The Ritmo is SEAT's version of the Fiat Strada we had in the UK, which shares the same floor pan as the Delta.

Over to you Martin.

A bit convoluted , wasn't the Strada called Ritmo in Italy? Lots of platform sharing in the 80s even just across related manufacturers with Saab using the same platform that was in the Alfa 164, Fiat Croma & Lancia Thema

I always knew it as the Ritmo, after today I realised that my dad had a few Italian cars, Morris Ital, Fiat Regatta and a Fiat Uno...
Anyway a Brooklands related question that was conceived whilst having a pee...
What was the highest rank did Sir Malcolm Campbell achieve during the first world war?
Bonus SM points for the arm he served with.

There was an Uno Turbo that roared up the test hill yesterday and was the only car to catch a bit of air at the top - the driver certainly enjoyed his day out!

Sounds like a Benny question. I would of thought he was a pilot but as for rank no idea although Captain Campbell would have sounded good. He was probably too young to make captain during WWI. Royal flying corps as a guess to the arm he served in.

Pure guess work though.

Spot on...although he did join the army with the Queens own royal West Kent regiment.
Your go

Really ! I should guess more often. I was working on the theory it was probably a flying related question given that you thought of it while your flies were undone and what you do for a living.

Next question what are these and what is the connection between them ?

There was a poster in the toilets from the 1910s/20s and it had his rank on it.
