Re: BritishV8 Trivia Contest
Courtesy of Wikipedia, the various Riley models produced were:
Saloons: Adelphi, Deauville, Falcon, Kestrel, Mentone, Merlin, Monaco, Stelvio Coupes: Ascot, Lincock Touring: Alpine, Lynx, Gamecock Sports: Brooklands, Imp, MPH, Sprite Limousines: Edinburgh, Winchester ....not sure what Germanic deity Carl had in mind but he probably lived the life of Riley. |
Re: BritishV8 Trivia Contest
Ok, next one.
An "evolution" of this was fitted to the worlds worst car. This description was taken directly from Wikipedia: "The system replaces the separate springs and dampers of a conventional suspension system with integrated, space efficient, fluid filled, displacer units, which are interconnected between the front and rear wheels on each side of the vehicle. Each displacer unit contains a rubber spring, and damping is achieved by the displaced fluid passing through rubber valves. The displaced fluid passes to the displacer of the paired wheel, thus providing a dynamic interaction between front and rear wheels." What am I? Bonus for the car I'm thinking of... Edited 1 time(s).

Re: BritishV8 Trivia Contest
No. Neither of those would make it onto my top 10 worst cars, let alone worst ever.
That honour goes to the Austin Allegro (although I'd have allowed the Princess), which was fitted with the Hydragas "system". |

Did you see the Top Gear episode where they proved BL actually did make one "good" car?
