Ten points to Gerard for correctly identifying the RED R Reg Astra as my personal car.
Oh! And Smartie Smith has already provided the answer. |

I'm starting to think there's something fishy going on here...?
Bob keeps telling us of this 'Smith' character, who never posts on here, yet somehow manages to answer all these puzzles before any of us geniuses can figure it out? Something's amiss, and I'm starting to think 'Smith' is a figment of Bob's imagination, invented purely to make the rest of us look stupid... like we need any help in that department! |

Mea Culpa! I must confess to my own qualifications for membership of Club Stupido,
I had W for Williams Oops! It was a Sauber. I had S for sprint. Luckily SSmith saved my blushes, coming up with Sauber and winner, meaning that ARROWS still worked. What's the address, Gerard? |

Are the results SSmith great winner and me half only with "argent"? If you award SSmith may be you could him give a pair suiting a gentleman? I wont mention that gold is no silver and that your Astra is a Vauxhall, actually… With a V like Velcome to the Glub!

To complete your application form to our now famous Stupido Club Fédération, can you tell us why far-fetched can be said "capillo tracté" in the official SCF language which is french? E.B can help…

I had a lucky run where the clues and pictures just clicked in my head for whatever reason for the ARGENT question (where Bauble gave me a very helpful hint after I answered TARGET) and ARROWS question. I must take this opportunity to thank Bauble for sharing with us his excellent photographs and question-setting - its a most enjoyable way to spend some time. |

SSmith, two things: very well done again; don't even think about applying in our Club. You're fired! |

Seconded! And another thing - I also reckoned on Williams - isn't that Jacques Villeneuve's helmet? Did he ever drive for Sauber? My memory, like many other things, must be failing me! Plus, I'd like to know how the hell we're supposed to get 'winner' from a picture of a bunch of blokes on pushbikes? And 'R' from a picture of a Vauxhall Astra? Still think there's something fishy about this whole thing! |

I don't like the Rolling Stones.
I sound noisy. I am often in a hole. I bloom in May. We tend to babble. I steal cows. Old folk need me. I do not hurry. I have three stripes. I sound like an office type. This supposed to be a picture puzzle thread so; |

Was hesitating, but cant bee the B Gees! I deserve Xerox point. But bow you say, Will, could it be "Secretary"? Read well, line by line, works fine with some accomodations, yes?

I quite liked the who am I quiz.
Almost got them all, except I thought a (Derek) Bell was noisy. Apparently not loud enough. Oh and I didnt realise that babbling involved paddling.... and also a couple of body parts This latest cars one I suspect I have taken the bait. Cars done. All fairly identifiable. Drivers whose names appear on doors or windows were (perceived) easy. Others I guessed or avoided. I suspect I have headed in the wrong direction. |

Well done. Go to the top of the class. |
