When you get to our age cider_and_toast all the years meld in to one so trying to remember the year of the start line shunt, for example, gets a bit challenging

 

[cider_and_toast]

Yep, one year out on that one. Trying to recognise the March car because in that mess it was the only one that stood out.

Funny enough, the older the question the easier I find it. Now, where's me slippers and Horlix ??

 

[teabagyokel]

Sieben, danke.

 

[Johnny Carwash]

2 1/2, not so good this time around.

 

[RasputinLives]

4 and 3/4!

 

[Grizzly]

Telling me it was an easy one was gross misrepresentation! 3 & 3/4

 

[Greenlantern101]

sorry. I will make the Mexican one really easy. Q1 spell Mexico without looking at how I have spelt it in the question.

 

[Jos the Boss]

4 and we could have 10 going for gold questions! Decimals will go crazy!

 

[Bleu]

5.

 

[F1Brits_90]

6 with few guesses shouldve been 6.5

Spoiler

but missed out by 0.041 as thought pole was 1:09.8

but defo quiz of 2 halves 4/5 then only 2/5

 

[cider_and_toast]

6 is a very respectable score though.

 

[Incubus]

six.

AndI disagree FB. As I get older I'm finding it more difficult to remember what happened last year than in 1987. I'm probably starting on the old dimentia.

 

[Road of Bones]

5.75 - respectably mediocre
