TRIVIA!!!!

Jensenman wrote: I'm gonna get picky here. There wre only 318 FF's (some sources say 320) made and all of them were AWD. That's the whole meaning of the FF model designation: Ferguson Formula. That was the name of the AWD system, which was one of the earliest production car (as opposed to truck) AWD systems built. It was also tried in some prototype F1 cars of the era with less than stellar results, although it worked very well in the Jensen. And yes I remember the Phoebe Cates scene quite well. Floor back to Mental.

Ah, the only 320 piece was something I didn't know.

and yes, I believe every English speaking male between 30 to 45 can relate to the epic exposure of Phoebe's magnifigance. As I realted this story to a co-worker, he commented; "Did she ever do that again?" No she didn;t, so we are a lucky bunch indeed. Not as lucky as Kevin Klein, but lucky still.

Anyway I digress, as I so often do.

OK, trivia. Sorry this took so long.

It is in two parts, the first part requires recognition of the question to get the answer. It is actually quite easy but;

In addition to the The Special, Thorndyke drives three other race cars in the film (not counting the Rolls.) Name them.

google gave me the answer, but i consider that cheating so i'm not answering.

TWO FF's? Lucky man. Do you by chance have a link to the 'ski jump' ad? I have searched high and low with no luck.

One of the reasons I took so long is I was trying to make this one google resistant. Danggit!

So give it today and if no one answers, post it up

rules say NO GOOGLE!

OK, I don;t want this thread to die.

Jaguar X-type Devlin Ferrari 250 (and if you notice, his coveralls always match the car.)

New question. What kind of car did Earl buy Randy for his birthday on My Name is Earl?

ooh ooh, a Ranchero.

(they seem to have a thing for car/trucks on that show)

Didn't he rent the Trans-am from Smokey & the Bandit?

i think jason lee is kindof a car guy, he was on american chopper having a bike built for the show or something recently iirc

he bought randy a rancho, but it kept getting stolen because he wasn't a criminal anymore. he tried the cops, but they labled him a snitch. (don't ask me how I remember this crap)

Correct, and he let him be the Bandit by attaching a Mustache to him, but...

You are correct, and you have the floor.

Hmph. That's how I did at trivia tonight, too. Sucked bad.

Time to revive this old thread.

You all know the rules, here we go:

Name the Porsche that came with a 1,200-horsepower Mercedes-Benz engine straight from the factory.

Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus aka Porsche Type 205.

Bingo, somebody has been reading Jalopnik.

Oldsaw, the floor is yours

That was a Tyrell. P6, IIRC. Elf livery.

List the correct chassis designation and name a WDC driver who was behind the wheel(s).

Tyrell P34. Jody Schector drove it for awhile, didn't he?

Tyrell P something, and one of the drivers was Sir Jackie Stewart...

(was it 32?)

It was a P-something (), but JYS retired several years before this car was designed.

Correct! Scheckter drove the car, as did Peterson and Depailler. I had the pleasure of seeing the car race at the Glen in '77 and have some great pics (somewhere).

OK, FGC, your serve!

my bad, I saw this video a while ago...

on board.

Sorry to take so long..been a busy couple o days..

Who was the first woman to score an SCCA Runoffs victory? Extra points for the year and class..

I knew who it was, but I could not think of her name...

I looked it up, so I won't take credit, but I will say that she recently passed away.

Donna Mae Mims in an HP bugeye Sprite, early 60's (sorry, don't remember the specific year) at Daytona.

Who was the next woman to win at the Run-Offs?

Gotcha! Trick question. Ms. Mims won her Nat'l Championship on points before the Runoffs format was created.

The answer to the question you asked is actually the answer to mine as well..should we spill it, or let someone else have a try?
