forddeliveryboy Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Correct answer given in post 44.The question was, "Which mass manufacturer was the first to productionise non-metallic bumpers" Should've specifically laid out it was expected that by 'bumpers' it was meant those things at each end of a car, not just one. Since this wasn't spelled out then those Ponchos are a correct answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightBulbFun Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Your next starter for ten. Which mass manufacturer was the first to productionise non-metallic bumpers which could be called integral to the body shape? AC Model 67? forddeliveryboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethj Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 You're not allowed to use Google for this stuff - it's to show that it's not just university toffs who can recite 18th century poetry that know a lot of things. Here's another starter question, buzz when you know the answer. In 1962 Ken Annakin made "The Fast Lady" about a vintage Bentley. For 10 points, what car do the bank robbers driver in the final scenes? Here are your bonus questions for 5 points, you may confer. In 1971 Gene Hackman starred in The French Connection where the director wanted a car chase to beat the one in Bullitt. Which stunt driver drove in both films? In the Disney series of Herbie films from 1969 through the 1970s, what was the name of the stunt driver that drove the Volkswagen, who was also stunt coordinator on Bullitt? The chase scene from Bullitt was used as inspiration for which car commercial where Steve McQueen appeared to be driving the new car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyersey1234 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Bud Ekins? Ford Cougar It was the Puma not the Cougar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethj Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 Correct on the Puma but the stunt driver is wrong. He famously took the director of French Connection for a high speed drive when the director said it wasn’t fast enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethj Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 Carey Loftin drove Herbie and was stunt coordinator in Bullitt despite being under contract to Disney at the same time, you are correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan the van Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I remember that they never closed the road for the chase scene in French Connection,he just nailed it for 2 blocks with the camera rolling.The collision with the other car was real apparently.

I think he may also have been the biker who comes a cropper during the Bullit chase sequence. garethj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'coli Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 "The class 91 electric locomotive power car, also known as the Intercity 225 because of its top speed in km/h, has a maximum service speed of 140mph when running with the front cab at the head of the train. It is capable of being operated with the rear cab of the power car at the front of the train, this is known as 'blunt end first'. For 10 points who can tell me what its maximum service speed in this configuration?"</paxman> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
