As many have pointed out the connection is the number 27 on each car, I wanted to see how many of you lot had picked up on the fact that it is often something blindingly obvious that defines the clue, and leads to the answer. Many past puzzles have seen people wandering off into the boondocks when the signpost says straight ahead.

Mind you not all puzzles are equal.

I think I resemble that comment.

*Meanwhile dances and skips across the floor of the Stupido / Cluelesso Club to stand by the exit door peering out, thinking maybe just one correct answer away from temporary escape.*

(Or one wrong answer away from returning to the far corner with my fellow Stupido members)

Ask any driver, amateur or pro, EB and he will tell you "from world champion to total jerk takes only a fraction of a second". We had and still have a lot of specialists here!

Until the next quiz.

I wondered who would be first to spot the deliberate mistake. Just checking who is paying attention!

Sadly it is not me. Mis post of picture new line up here. (EB)

There are three ways to rank them, so get your thinking caps on.

Nope but how on earth the TVR became either a Datsun, or a Nissan, a Fairlady or just a Z?

Is the answer really linked to the pics or question? From A to Z?

It was a stupid idea in the first place so I am scrapping the whole thing due to significant gaps in my knowledge of cars later than 1959.

Some have the right idea but I don't.

Oh! Dear, I go away for a few days and return to find that a simple puzzle has had no answers, except for RBS, who, with a nudge worked it out.
  • 1 Alfa Romeo
    2 Renault
    3 Nissan
    4 Aston Martin
    5 Renault
    6 Gordini
    6 Emeryson.

And I ask'Where are we?

Gerard our resident Frog, over to you Mon ami.
