I got a rather sad 14/21 but some of those questions are rather tricky.

I only got 15, but then I don't know a lot about cubic inches or US-spec TR4As (different from UK spec. to judge from the "right" answer)

I would do better if I stuck with my first, intuitive guess, and not outsmarted myself. Example. I picked "leather bellows" for the SU carbs right away, but then rationalized that no sane engineer would do such a thing. and changed my answer.

I finished with less than half right.

That one was easy, as I have had a car with a leather bellows SU

20 out of 21!

Helluva lot better than the 8 I got yesterday.........

What did you do, miss one you got right yesterday?

MG · « **Reply #8 on:** March 13, 2007, 04:52:19 PM »

Well, I figured 21 for 21 would strain credulity, so I shanked one on purpose!

Well, one and a half years ago, this quiz was the bomb!

The link of the initial post doesn't work anymore.

I think we should remove this from the Experts.

"6 March, 2011
I have decided to close the Coldplugs site. With my business and other interests taking more and more time, I have been unable to devote the effort to maintain Coldplugs properly for many months now. I started it back about 1998 and it has been great fun.

I plan to keep the URL for a while in case I change my mind, but have no plans to re-open it anytime soon.

Thank you to everyone who contributed!
