The Autoshite Xmas Quiz

[M'coli]

Was it that shit American nonsense with the "Coyote" supercar?

[hairnet]

 

hardcastle and mcormick (we were talking about 80s theme tunes last night lol)

[brickwall]

Their crime fighting skills were also rather average.

[Doctormop]

Think the VW kitcar that was the coyote had the licence plate 'Coyote' an inspired piece of prop placement I always thought, quite liked the them tune though.

Got no idea as to the original question though, any chance of a clue Warren?

[Doctormop]

Would never have got it without the clue though, really got me thinking that one!

Anyway, I'm even worse at setting questions than answering them so apologies in advance for this one;

Which Sunday night drama of the late 80's featured; in the first episode a mk1 Renault 5, a 1963 Alvis TD21 and a Pre war Rolls Royce?

[Wilko220]

Here's a new question with a difference.

 

Which of the following cars have freewheeling engines and which are interference?

 

Porsche 924 75-85

Ford Pinto 1600cc

Ford Pinto 2000cc

Alfa Romeo Boxer 1700cc

Vauxhall Carlton 1800cc 1986-92

BL O Series 2000cc

PSA HDi 2000cc

Nissan Micra 1.0+1.2 1983-93

BMW 4.0 V8

Subaru 2.0 N/A

 

No googling!!!!

[Albert Ross]

Pinto 1600s are both. LCT "wide bore" don't hit, (unless in a Transit with 2.0 head) LSD "E-Max" do.

[chaseracer]

Name the ex-BT-van-driving, jazz-loving woodwork teacher, the actor who played him, and the 1980s Leeds-based comedy-drama trilogy in which he appeared with a Yorkshireman better-known for his part in a long-running saga of Midlands motel life.

 

Bonus point for the registration number of the van...

Yep, the Beiderbecke affair/connection/tapes. The character was called Trevor I believe? And he was played by the great James Bolam. I know the van was an old Bedford HA, but not a clue on the reg no...
