No sir - your first guess was closer to correct.

What? I'm not allowed to play in this sand box?  Why was I not informed?    ???

Or perhaps I have not been paying attention. Am I not a rookie anymore?  When did THAT happen? And why was I not informed?

I'm so confused......... ::)

"Rookies" haved solded fewer that 5 puzzles. You've been given points for 6 more than 5.

I have?   Who gave them to me? And why?  Its a scientific fact that I don't know anything about this stuff. :P

And how come anyone can't do the Rookie Puzzles?  Nextel Cup drivers get to go to the Busch Series and clean house any time they want......... ::)

And for the record, I have never knowingly "solded" ANY puzzle at any time, nor have I picked my feet in Poughkeepsie!    ;D

1. Please read: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=759.0

2. We would like to bring new members into the fold, rather that provide a closed community of expert-lever puzzlers solving soft-ball puzzles within 15 seconds of them being posted.

Also, rookie-level puzzles that go unsolved get moved to the expert puzzle area - typically, after 5 days in the rookie section.

No matter how high his 'solved' number is, how can anybody possible think that MG is an expert autopuzzler? The man doesn't know his Aston from his Alba!

I vote that he be deemed a Rookie for perpetuity. It only seems just.

Because of his admin status, he will always be able to post anywhere on the board.  I can't stop him.

Watch out below.  ;D

To be more faithful to the original, you should have said his Alfa from his Elva.  But either is quite correct!    ;D

Now, for the love of God, is the damn dashboard from a Packard or not?    >:(

Sir, I drove karts with MG. I know MG. MG is a friend of Mine. And I say to you with the utmost certainty that MG can tell the difference between this:

Up until it's solved, it's always fair game.

The thing is, I have SEEN that instrument cluster somewhere in my formative years, back in the last century. I don't recall my Packard model nomenclature all that well and Caribbean sounds like a pretty good guess to me, but I am going to say it is a 1955 Packard Patrician. What a great name, huh?   ;)
