T1GHT WH!P$ TROPHY TRIVIA

[Sixty8panther]

In the next few weeks I'm going to post 59 different trivia questions

of all different forms on C&G. Multiple choice, photo identification,

photo match up & even some true or false. Some questions will be

multiple part and others a simple one word answer.

At the end of the 59 individual trivia thread questions all the winners

will be added up and a trophy will be mailed via the USPS to the

over all winner of the first annual Tight Whips Trivia Trophy.

Best of luck to all, I encourage everyone to participate.

Score so far:

Fly: 6

OldsGuy: 2

WMJ: 2

Yellow_Dart: 2

Chevelle7.4L: 1

American_Revolution2005: 1

100 octane is pretty rare

Lamborghini Countach.

On a side note, does that quarter mile seem a little slow to anyone else?

[the_yellow_dart]

Hmmm... also:

4th gear ratio : 0.990:1 Max. speed : 140 Mph

Why bother gearing it, if you're going to make it .99:1? Why not just a straight gear? Isn't that less components?

[the_yellow_dart]

LP400 S Countach?

Oh please tell me he wasn't assuming we'd be this specific without asking...

If so... BS.

Yellow Dart scores another one.

Because Italian cars have to be stupiudly complicated & overly

complex in their design & construction. Here at the Tight Whips

Clubhouse we make fun of Italian cars all the time...

Like if there was a Haynes Manual for 1980s era Ferraris it

would read somethig like this:

REMOVING, INSPECTING & REPLACING AIR FILTER

1. Unbolt rear subframe

2. Remove left front blinker bulb

3. Drop engine cradle & exhaust

4. Dissasemble rear suspension

5. Grind off tac-welds off on 1/4 panel seams

6. Remove 1/4 panel skins & remove engine compartment cover

7. Remove negative cable off battery

8. Unfasten fuse box cover

9. Remove transmission (you'll need a 11.75mm octagontal wrench)

10. Open up side access cover on Transmission

11. Unlock access panell behind clutch & remove air cleaner

12. Insert new filter element in place

13. Reverse Process and reassemble car

Relax... I'm only being serious.
