Thanks for another very enjoyable exercise, Ron - very frustrating at times too (the number of bloody American singer/songwriters I googled trying to answer Q27 ).

Same here, gave up in the end and went and finished preparing my RS2000 for this weekends outing

Ron, we still see Barry Lee around the traps, he is still an old racer at heart.

That was a bit of fun, Ron - and brain? exercise.

Doubled my 'score' from my first attempt.......if I keep doing that, watch out!

Cheers, Greg

Hi Ron,
Jumped in without introducing myself, Ross Burbidge.
Ray knows a little of my ancient racing involvement and Carl my more recent rallying one.
Or you can look in the introduction thread.

Hokkaido escaped most of the effects of the earthquake, though oyster beds, etc were destroyed.
We actually have had refrigerators (yes, they float) etc washing up on our beaches three months after the big 'un.

No need to post all my winnings to Japan, though!
My previous address was Cockroach Island in Sufferers' Parasite, which would have been an easier delivery for you.

Looking forward to your next quiz - better grey matter exercise than a crossword puzzle!

No obligation to include a Japan-related question next time, though will gratefully accept any assistance that assists me to get to the pointy end of the results ;-)
