Sorry if I left you all hanging, I was researching another question and got side tracked with work. Didnt mean to mess up the flow.

The answer to a question has never been so wrong!

 

[Rogue Ssv]

Lotus Cortina or Ford Cortina? Well I just looked it up and I think that FilthyFish is right, its 'consul'.

I was asked originally to post a Lotus based question, so here we go:

Q) What was written in the 'V' shaped bonnet badge of the original Pre-airflow Lotus Cortina?

4

(did'nt see an answer)

 

[High-Test]

revheadnz: Daewoo? Crosley?

 

[Revheadnz]

Wow, sorry, I didn't realise there were so many washing machine companies making cars

The one I was thinking of is from the southern hemisphere.

 

[High-Test]

It's not Daewoo? Ssanyong? Perodua? Proton? Hyundai?

 

[Revheadnz]

It's not Daewoo? Ssanyong? Perodua? Proton? Hyundai?

Forget it High-Test. I phrased the question badly . The car that I was referring to was from Australia. It was called the Lightburn Zeta. I didn't know there were so many companies making washing machines as well as cars so I didn't specify enough.

I'll give it to you since I made a screw up on the question. Now you make a question.

 

[TheCracker]

I've got a good one just to keep the thread going until High-Test posts his is anyone wants it???

 

[Revheadnz]

Yep I'm interested.

 

[TheCracker]

Which was the first manufacture to produce a 5cyl production car engine?

 

[Jim Prower]

Question, was it a radial?

 

[amp88]

Which was the first manufacture to produce a 5cyl production car engine?

I'll take a stab at Audi?

 

[TheCracker]

No - standard inline.
