I have surprised myself today.

There is a quiz on the Daily Mail site about engines. It has forty questions and I got thirty-seven of them right.

One I would dispute because the exhaust gasses don't go directly to the tail pipe but maybe they di in America but I am still amazed at how much I remember. Probably because I have had nothing to think about for forty years.

Amazing what we can dredge up from our brains, Sharron. I did German at school but rarely needed it since yet can recite a poem in German like it was yesterday lol

If you don't use it, you lose it

I might have got 37 out of 40 for an engine quiz but the link is far too hard for me.

Go on the Daily Mail site and it is one of those pictures at the bottom.

Thank you.

I might have scored 37, and I know everybody else will do a full house, on that one but I would score -37 on IT.

22/40 and most of those were guesses. Brings back memories of vacant looks when OH used to talk about mending his old banger.
