[spkennyuk]

Why it is not the right answer?

Apologies Andy i missed the word NOT the right answer.

 

[zagatoes30]

No problem, I will give a big clue tomorrow

 

[zagatoes30]

OK clue time, it's not a Maserati well not exactly

 

[StuartW]

Talking of answers matching avatars, was it an OSCA?

It was now do you care to guess which one?

 

[StuartW]

Well I'm only really aware of the gorgeous MT4 which I think was their first car and then the 1100 so I would have to plump for the 1100?

 

[spkennyuk]

Its not one i know Andy. Going off your clue i suspect it was a race car they designed for somebody else. I have no idea which team / manufacturer they worked with or when.

Oscar did tend to use a very similar sportscar design and the 1100 ran for years in various guises. The answer I was looking for was the Osca 1600 SP see below



As you as near as anyone is likely to get Stuart you can set the next question

 

[StuartW]

That 1600 SP does look fantastic I have to say

A music question for today, what was the first music video played by MTV when they launched in the UK in the late '80s?

Well done that man, over to you Mr C

 

[CatmanV2]

Marvellous innit. I keep hearing snippits and thinking 'Oh that'll make a good question' Then forgetting them.

So sticking with music, what's generally regarded as the song which has been subject to the most 'official' cover versions.

While there may be some discussion, this appears by consensus to be the run away winner.

Hmm I'm drawn between three, I'll go for hallelujah... Not by the Happy Mondays though...

I have heard it quoted, especially of late. In fact it appears to be several orders of magnitude out of the running.

As, in fact is just about everything else.

[GeoffCapes]

Happy Birthday?

Or being seasonal White Christmas?

 

[StuartW]

Is it Yesterday by The Beatles?

 

[markjc]

My Way?

 

[Spartacus]

If you mean popular music i would say Yesterday by the Beatles . Of all time i would say a classical piece like a funeral march or something .

 

[CatmanV2]

Is it Yesterday by The Beatles?

It is. According the the Guiness Book of Records: 7m recordings....
