One for Mr Z, Which film

[nopanic - neil]

Crumbs............. it was dark down there.

So now I'm back now, what can you tell me about this one.

[Gilles]

Rosengart Supertraction ?

[Gilles]

Didn't look at the radiator mascott, could be better a Renault Supra/Vivastella

[nopanic - neil]

Bloody hell - I thought I would get more than a few mins before you lot got his one. 

It is a Renault Suprastella 1939 era.

Back shortly with the red.

[Mr. Invincible Mou]

Thought I might have a bash at one for a change, hope you don't mind neil

OK, here comes my red. Anyone name this one.

[Gilles]

homemade car ? 

left and right mirors aren't the same model

[Mr. Invincible Mou]

left and right mirors aren't the same model

  I think that is a trick of the lighting. Close inspection does show them to be the same I think.

However, it has perhaps thrown you on the right track, this car was available to complete at home.

[nopanic - neil]

Ok I think the car is a Blakely Bernardi -

The Blakely Bernardi is an automobile produced in the 1980s by Blakely Auto Works (also called Bernardi Auto Works in some references) of Princeton, Wisconsin, USA. Blakely produced a number of automobile models, including the Bearcat and Bantam. The Bernardi was available as a completed car or as a kit of parts to be assembled by the buyer.





Next colour - Oh sh*t, now what do we do 

[nopanic - neil]

OK - that was fun, and I am going for a black ball

What can you tell me about this one.

The one in the foreground.

[Gilles]

A folding car...

... a Brompton ?

[Leftie]

It can't be a car, it's only got TWO wheels with some little stabalisers.

Is it the same firm that makes that 2 wheeled stand up scooter we keep seeing?

I thinks it's a yank built thingy

[nopanic - neil]

Its design to do 35 mph ! - if your brave enough.

Come on we are playing for 7 points,

Hang-on, even I've got 1 point. This is getting as bad as the Eurovision Song Contest. 

Yank built? What gave it away???

[Mr. Invincible Mou]

 

Take a near-bankrupt automobile manufacturer and a company that makes personal transportation vehicles used mostly by colleges and you’d think you’d have a disaster on your hands, correct?

Apparently, such is not the opinion of General Motors and Segway. The two companies are teaming up to create the PUMA, or Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility Project. The vehicle, shown above, will feature a 35 MPH top speed and will get a measly 35 mile charge on its lithium battery pack.

Edit.. some vid footage here > click here

Strange, but I think I can see a military version of this sometime.

[nopanic - neil]

Wow - well done, all those points your getting.

That was good info, as I only saw it in the press on the 16th may, so you are sharp!

back soon with a red.

Cheers

[Mr. Invincible Mou]

 

OK All, Neil is going to be busy for the next week, so he will be unable to get down to his cellar too often. He has asked me if I might be able to scrabble around in my attic and take over for a few days. Doubt I can keep up the same usual standard, but I am willing to have a go.

So, for the next red, what can you guys tell me about this baby?
