Well spotted Shayne!

Yes, it might be hard to sell a car called a Prostitute - though it might appeal to a certain section of the driving population I suppose.

1. Ranger?
(Sounds like a car name, I've heard of Texas Rangers, maybe Chuck Norris made a film with a title like that? I'm guessing here.)

PeterT · 05-04-2012, 01:14 AM

1 Ranger - Pink Power Ranger, Texas Rangers, Chuck Norris Texas Ranger, so Flamingo was the wild card.
2 FOCUS -Royal Society was the wild card

SneakySnake · 05-04-2012, 04:51 AM

8. Snoop Dogg to Dr. Dre, Eminem to Dr. Dre, 50 Cent. to Dr. Dre, Biggie Smalls to Dr. Dre - Discovery (Biggie Smalls is the odd one out, as he wasn't discovered by Dr. Dre)?

Hamlet53 · 05-04-2012, 08:25 AM

So I totally missed the point of this quiz.

I'm giving Orlok [earned] #8 because his answer works, but I was actually thinking of the Mazda Protege.

Winner: Shayne Parkinson -- beat Bookpossum with the tie breaker.

Shayne Parkinson · 05-04-2012, 04:50 PM

Clever quiz, Daithi! I twigged when I saw Golf, Beatle and Accord close together.

I don't have a real quiz ready, but here's a quick question: in modern use "claptrap" means nonsense; perhaps as a euphemism for cr*p. But when it emerged in the 18th century it had a different meaning. How was it used in earlier times?

For a shoddy horse-drawn carriage?
