I think you'll find that a number of people closely scrutinise every post, even if it's only to spot simple typing errors.
Some of us are too polite however to point out any that we spot...

I still haven't figured out what the hell is going on in this thread yet... let alone know any of the answers!

Maybe there's not supposed to be any answers? Only more questions?

Paul, I am deeply sorry if perusing this thread is threatening your 'mental health' a popular complaint at this time, let me try and assuage you grief.

Study the set of pictures in post 196. Identify the seven cars depicted there, take the initial letter of each marque, and simply re arrange them so that they spell the name of another well know British motor car.

How hard can that be?

Upon a successful completion of the puzzle you will feel a sense of euphoria, and might even give 'er indoors a kiss, out of sheer joy.

And who knows where that may lead?


Best of luck.*


*With the puzzle I mean.

Flushed with success, I envisage a whole new world opening up for our friend Will, Master Mind, Egg Heads, A Question of Sport, How to be A Millionaire!
Nothing will be beyond his abilities, i just hope he remembers, at the height of his fame, his old mates on Ten/Tenths,

Welcome to the Stupido Club, Paul! If you have a question you dont know the answer, please dont hesitate to ask, typos are much welcome as well as other mistakes. Using an esoteric language might help too…*

Clearly I have peaked, as I thought I knew what the car is, but the “clues” then don’t line up with that! Back to the Stupido club

Well, clearly not eligible for the S Club, RBS has given the correct interpretation of the clues and identified the car.

I must add that the car is extremely obscure, although one of 57 varieties.!!!!!

Its time for John, our most recent Stupido Club member, to try and catch the real spirit of this thread and club.
Talking about 917's I ask two questions to EB, Brit expat to Aus, and he will show exactly the two pictures illustrating the said questions.
Race is Watkins Glen 1971:
1 Where is the damn oil dip stick?
2 Where does this second wiper come from?
EB, please proceed and dont disappoint me!
