We started a trivia thread over at another forum and it has been a lot of fun.
Here are the ground rules. It starts with one question. The first reply with the right answer gets the floor for a new question. It continues like that unless, A) the person who has the floor doesn't ask a new question, or B) no one gets the correct answer. In that case, the person with the floor asks a new question. No more than one question on the floor at a time, and discussion/clarification is welcome until the floor is taken over by a new question.
First question: In the 1952 Indy 500, what type of fuel was burned in the record-setting pole-position #28 car? Hint: it won pole position by a full 4 mph over the second-place Ferrari
I know that they were capable to be a rail car...But not sure if that was what you were going for...
It's funny, my history teacher in High school was from the Soviet Union and I never was a "model student"..so when he found out that I was into cars, he made an attempt to "connect" with me and told me all about the cars that he saw in his younger years...Then of course he made me write a report on soviet cars and how they played a part in history...He was a hard *****, but a good teacher...(still barely passed the class though).
ok, so I guess neither answer was right? I may have to dig out my research for my high school paper...Crap, I knew I should have worked harder in school!
ok, after more research, let me grasp for more straws...Please keep in mind, my Russian is weak, at best..lol
I saw that one of the cars (maybe the one in question) was actually front wheel drive, and they said that it could go over 550mm of water without it entering into the interior (which I think is just under a foot of water, right).. Anything on this answer??
Also found out that it was the first soviet car to have a "semiautomatic transmission”. The article that I was reading said it used a wet clutch that allowed the driver to shift gears without engaging the clutch.
Heck, even if I don't get this one, I'll more about this darned car!!

The quarter panel on the Continental is longer that that 'Merc'.
Well darn near it anyway.
Carry on Carry on. :thumbup:
