Quiz game

Post by Jirka »

Since I want to motivate my self here and to get some (needed) action to this forum, I desided to try a quiz game.

I have 10 question below. Send the answers to my by PM (I don't know does the forum have any more sophisticated methods available?). You have time until end of the month (=31. July) to send the answers and then I will give the right answers and I can e.g. list all how have lets say 7 or more correct answers.

I do not know are the questions too hard or need too detail information, but since the knowledge level here is quite high I wanted that questions are not too easy either. So don't be shy to try if You don't know them all. I also tried to make questions so that Google will not give answers like: "What wind there is in Reedy Mr. X motor?".

Comments about this, all improvements etc. are wellcome. Also if wanted I or maybe somebody else can make next quiz game round?

1) Name a car with two antennas?

2) What is this?
Q2 What is this.jpg

3) Motor manufacturer and/or motor name of this special 15x7 wind?
Q3 - 15x7 special wind.jpg

4) Name at least 2 tires (Manufacturer and tire name or good description) that are asymmetric off road tires? Needs to be vintage (pre 1997) and racing purpose (no e.g. Tamiya made)?
Below picture of asymmetric tire:
Q4 directional vs asymmetrical tires.jpg

5) From what manual this is from? Same parts are/about same manual picture is used in at least 5 cars so if You can name even one, then I will accept the answer.

Yeah I think the idea is good. I probably could have gotten a couple but would have had to research so agree this might have been a tough one. Been busy so lost off my radar with no time to research.

Interesting on the M&Y armature. I was told by another member that Big Jim did that as well. I'll have to look for some details

It would be nice to see some others participate too...like the foil contest?
maybe post one difficult question, and the person that answers asks the next one...
