Mornington Crescent, anyone?

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Ah. I didn't know that. :oops: Was he always a male I wonder, or did that state of affairs also come about when he bought a US passport? :D

You missed off winner of the Americas Cup in my yatch. Yes I am Briggs Cunningham. I raced Cadillacs at Le Mans but found the Chrysler Hemi a much better engine. I did produce a road car called the C-3 with Italian body work.

Hello M,
Avoiding mentioning James Bond again, did you die in the last 113 years?
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

The only person who I can think of who had bicycle and automotive connections that starts with an M is Moulton. Moulton suspension and Moulton bikes. I cant think of your first name. :oops:

That'll be Alex then, but if Phil's right I think he should win this one as it's only the surname that counts. 8-) (unless there are many possible family members who could fit the bill...)
