Picture Puzzles

[E.B]

Crikey, this threads like a Christmas tree..... baubles everywhere. Even in the snow.

[Lancsbreaker]

Definitely some Cavalier attitudes being displayed in some of those pics

You can pedal any story you like, but I think it demonstrates a cavalier attitude to claim it's so grand. Father always said it was no good - wood you agree? There's now only one thing for it: to begin the cycle again.

Paul, I won't tell you how many times it took to fully appreciate! Thanks.

Some good results but no perfect scores.

Another Odd-One-Out for you to tackle, naturally each is unique in some respect, but what is the less obvious answer. When you get it right, I am sure you will recognise the fact.

[Peter Mallett]

I'm sure this is not the answer you're looking for but only one of them was made into a scalextric model.

You are right, Peter, that is not what I had in mind, but certainly underlines your credentials as ...hmm?

Smarty Pants Mike Crow had the 'right' answer. Clever lad.

[Gerard C]

I believe the "right" answer can't be that only one is not front engined because it's obvious.

Correct Gerard, far to obvious, the answer has nothing to do with specification.

The BRM is the real clue.

Peter. Really? I was never into Scalectrix myself, but I find that quite surprising. I would guess at the Vanwall as the one, but what would it race against?

I suppose, Moss, Brooks, and Lewis- Evans would have to fight it out amongst themselves.

Now tell me I have made a fool of myself.

[Peter Mallett]

Nope, that's the one. There was a set which included two coopers, but you could buy a Vanwall as a separate model. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264278632...RoC-dcQAvD_BwE

MM spots the deliberate mistake in the text (well done) then goes on to add a little witticism, demonstrating all of the talents needed to tackle any puzzle.

Viv, another whiner quickly spots the anomaly in the picture, and makes appropriate comment. The picture was chosen to invite amusing/insulting/ribald replies, and Viv could not resist, another example of talent under a bush.

No more excuses, I expect swift, accurate answers from both in the future.
Spot the Bauble.

I thought I'd finally managed to answer this one using a felt tipped pen. All I ended up with were a load of dots on my computer screen... Don't worry, I've now crawled back under my bush.

Being dalton, can't say if you're right or not. Sorry for any inconvenience…

I also had a metal bodied Scalextric Maserati 250F.
This latest quiz could it be the BRM is not in taditional national racing colours.

[Gerard C]

You mean its green but not BRG? Its obvious, is it?

[rbs]

Never certain with Baub's questions these days. I was assuming the Cooper was in the Scottish colours.

[Gerard C]

Can't see the sticker on the rear engine fairing but surely it's not Écurie Écosse. And the clue is the BRM.

[bauble]

I hate to see grown men cry, the odd-one-out is the Ferrari, and the BRM is in the colours of the British Racing Partnership run for a well know English racing driver of the 50's. He was also knighted later in life. sadly I cannot immediately recall his name, but rolling stones seems to resonate somehow.

A fed-up too the teeth puzzle setter..

Bauble.

Mike Crow had it right within hours of me posting the puzzle.

Not Rob Walker?

[Gerard C]

You mean Sir Stirling Moss tested but did not race it?

[Gerard C]

Another quizz: why did you say the BRM is the clue when actually we're looking for the Ferrari?
