I wasn't referring to you Paul. You've done a brilliant job moderating this thread.

I know it wasn't me, but it's me who will accept your connections, and I won't be too nitpicking as I never been.
Other comments are welcome, I never learn enough from you guys, but they have to be done in the right mood, not in the "You are wrong, I know it better than you" way but in the "I think you are not considering that.." spirit.  ;)

I'll try this one:
1961 Allard Dragster      and     1929 Napier Golden Arrow
because both cars belong to the Montague collection (National Motor Museum Trust at Beaulieu) where they had a long standstill, and are currently planned to be restored to functional objects.

Both are named after a precious metal object that can be shot using a weapon.

Good!
A quick refresh for our new members:
This is a chain, you have to find a car that can be connected to the previous one for a specific reason.
If this link is easy (same builder, same year, etc) it will worth 1 point, if you'll find a very rare and obscure connection it will worth up to 5 points.
Points go only to the last ring of it: to earn your point(s) the last ring of this chain should remain without a connection for 30 days.
You can use the same link only once.

Konocti Motor Co. Silver Bullet and Boyd Coddington's  Boydster II  Both streetrods, based on a early Ford, that do not share any acctual parts with the cars they are based on
Boyd Coddington's  Boydster II and   what car?     why?

It's yellow, a Ford, from 1932, a roadster - is this what you had in mind?

Not quite.
You can take a look few pages behind, there is a list of all the connection already used and a list of all the cars.
To give you an idea, you can use easy ones (same manufacturer, same name, same country, same designer, both v12, etc) but there are very few left, or more accurate and original ones.
In any case the connection has to define the car in a certain way, you can't use 2 cars owned by your neighbour or 2 cars available for sale on ebay at the same price, but you can use 2 cars owned by the same pilot or by a famous person or 2 cars that were for sale at the same price from the beginning.

Take a look around, it won't take much.
Always keep in mind that it's a game and only points are at stake here, that's why I wouldn't be too strict.
Last thing: only cars...I would like to avoid buses,trucks, airplanes etc.

Just a try:
Boyd Coddington's  Boydster II       and       Colman Milne Cardinal
as in both names there are two words for a male person (boy - boy, man - cardinal)...

Let's see if this one works?!

Peter Brock's Ford Falcon (Shelby) Sedan Delivery and the French-market-only special edition MG TF Trophee

Both vehicles exclusively available in white with a double blue stripe colour scheme.
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

You are right...   ;)

Possibillities to do with color combinations are endless, and probably not enough of a challenge...
