BaronVonBoll 0 #1 August 15, 2009 Knowing my penchant for the subject, somebody gave me a book of ten thousand trivia questions. I got about a third of the questions right! anybody want to try and guess some? How many mile per gallon did henry fords modle t get? What was unusual about the sexto auto manufactured by reeves mfg. of columbus Indiana in 1912? What was the longest flight achieved by wilber wright? distance not time!

AggieDave 6 #2 August 15, 2009 The Sexto had 6 wheels, sort of like their Octo with 8 wheels. The model T got somewhere between 15 and 20 mpg. Which is about what my old Z71 got...well 13-15mpg really. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sartre 0 #5 August 15, 2009 The inherent problem with this thread is that one can research on the internet prior to posting a response. It's just not immediate enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaronVonBoll 0 #6 August 15, 2009 true but the fun of it exist in the fact that the individual knows or he doesnt. regardless oif what answer he may post for viewing. It would be like cheating in solitair. what would be the point? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sartre 0 #7 August 15, 2009 Not exactly. In Solitaire, you're playing by yourself. Here, there are other potential contestants, as well as lots of people reading the responses. Plenty of incentive to research the answer prior to responding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freefallfreak 0 #16 August 16, 2009 It was a studio recording and the only two guitarists on it was Eric Clapton and Duane Allman. Eric played lead and Duane played slide. That was the first tune I used as a model to play slide. TripleF "Upon seeing the shadow of a pigeon, one must resist the urge to look up." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
