It may have been known as a 14hp in some circles, but I'm sure the 'Velox' nametag was attached.
The '37 25hp model (these being Vauxhalls, of course) had a Willys body in Australia.

29. As Altitude says, but it was originally scheduled to go into orbit around Mars in October 2012
I think the October 2012 answer is the correct one.

Sorry Stu, that's down to me - I put 17 instead of 15 next to my answer, and you followed suit. Perhaps Ron won't mind if we now edit our posts.Pay Attention McPhail! Q15 is all Done and Dusted! (or Ridden Hard and Put Away Wet!)

I'm going by the Wikipedia entry - not the most reliable of sources, I know:Q 18 I found a different year for the BIG ROCK..?
On 19 January 2029, 2005 YU55 will pass about 0.0023 AU (340,000 km; 210,000 mi) from Venus. The close approach to Venus in 2029 will determine how close the asteroid will pass the Earth in 2041. The uncertainties in the post-2029 trajectory will cause the asteroid to pass somewhere between 0.002 AU (300,000 km; 190,000 mi) and 0.003 AU (450,000 km; 280,000 mi) from the Earth in 2041. Radar astrometry in November 2011 should clarify the Earth encounter situation in 2041 and beyond. As of 7 November 2011, the nominal solution shows 2005 YU55 passing 0.1 AU (15,000,000 km; 9,300,000 mi) from the Earth on 12 November 2041.

WELL..up to POST 116 I make the SCORE
Then Altitude answered Q14 Midget Drivers 6..
I didnt answer that one - I was about to but Arttidesco was quicker.
#131
Posted 15 November 2011 - 12:04
Now Tim has got 15b...and deducted a point from Altitude for 119 ,given then to Arttidesco
but found that I had given Altitude only one point for 26,,should be two..!!
All the rest seem to be O.K. but I.ll have to see if any other answers should be 2 points..
(OH the life of a Quiz Mast.....Person )
Time for a break...About 9 Hours Thanks,,Double check in the morning..

I must APOLOGISE for confusing ALTITUDE with ARTTIDESCO and ATTRIBUTE my bad
ATTITUDE to lack of ATTENTION and ATTENTIVNESS........RONMAC...
So with 2 Extra points Tim goes to 14 points,,and Altitude 13 points,,BUT
if Tim insists on deducting a point for Q 1 The result would be
13 POINTS EACH..!!
Is the best decider ,,FLINTLOCKS at DAWN....??

I do hope you're not a flyer, Ron, you could get into real trouble.
I must APOLOGISE for confusing ALTITUDE with ARTTIDESCO
No, but she can be lethal if she gets hold of a loaded one.
(But can a Parrot load a Revolver ??)
I'm sure your point is safe E0 - sorry, E1.Tim, don't do it... I'm beggin' Ya... I'll have to change my ID to eZeroPix!
I place my fate in the safe and impartial hands of His Honour Mr Justice McPhail.

And all things being EQUAL ,I declare Tim and Altitude EQUAL on 13 Points Each.
.
Special mention for POLLY ,for standing by her man.
Arttidesco ,,3 Points gained while dashing in and out of Meetings
..
Wenoopy,,holding up his end with 3 Points.!!
.
E1pix......???????
Half a point for getting Q1 Half right ,plus Half a point for staying up
later than I was able to,,Giving him a whole point,,thereby avoiding
the necessity to change his Trading Name (and I hate to see a grown man cry )
And last but not least..David Mc Kinney...1 point (we know he can do more ,but he
is a very busy man )
Here Endeth Lesson 20,,and thank you all for coming.(I hope Tim will talk to me again.)
