Here's my Q - again, one hard one easy.

EASY: What car currently holds the current record for completing the Bathurst 1000 in the shortest time?

a) BA Falcon
b) VL Commodore
c) Caterham Super Seven
d) R32 GT-R
e) VY Commodore

HARD: Who is the current editor of MOTOR Magazine?

a) Jesse Taylor
b) Ged Bulmer
c) John Carey
d) Isaac Bober
e) Jeremy Clarkson

 

[transcendent]

first one was easy...? choice between GT-R and VL... i choose D
second one is Jesse Taylor cause i've been reading MOTOR recently... bought one today actually even though the Ed is away on holiday so A

 

[shortygb]

hmm for easy ill say D

and the hard...im guessing A

 

[SlipStream]

Dang, not so hard afterall... first one was D, the R32 GT-R, having set the record in 1991 (or 92?), which no car to date has been able to break. And the second one is A, Jesse Taylor, who is currently honeymooning in Italy while dep-ed Dean Evans keeps his chair warm.

 

[braad]

hahaha

who wouldnt know the easy one

they repeated it over bathurst about 50 million times (a 0.023% increase over last years race )

and well...the "hard" one? doesnt MOTOR have a website? surely the editor is on there

Yeh but the idea is NOT to go and look it up on Google - just read the question, have a think about it then post what you think is the answer. Any other way would be "cheating".
