I recognise them questions :dontgetit:


yes John, most of these are from the old RCMOC quizzes :D

anyway, i'm giving Taffy 36/41.

one of the questions involving the colour of a car could be debatable if you have the contrast on your telly up high, but i'm sticking to my original answer :crazy:

and yes Taffy, the Elf's and hornet's badges were on the grilles, but you know what i mean :P
