Let`s test your knowledge of different forms of transport.

Rules are as usual, ONE guess per clue only.

$1 for the winner paid in LR. Prizes to be paid out at the end of the contest later today.

There is however, one rule CHANGE. Members may only win a maximum of three (3) times in this contest, so that it makes it fairer for all. If any member wins 3 times, they should not answer any more questions for the duration of the contest.

Let`s begin..

This is a car which was created decades ago in Northern Ireland, with the British Government`s cash help. It wasn`t very successful, and soon went out of business.

i think is DeLorean DMC-12

Well one, thebigone. The correct answer is the Delorean car, designed by an American, John Delorean, and featured in `Back To The Future,` though as a company DeLorean went into receivership, losing lots of money.



Next question...

I`m looking for the name of a mode of transport which started out around the turn of the 20th century for passenger transport, but later became a part of military use.

Aviation

Aircraft

the answer is Zeppelins which is a type of rigid airship pioneered by German Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin

Hovercraft ?

The correct answer is the Zeppelin airship, used extensively by the Germans in WW1. Well done again to thebigone.


Next question...

This is a mode of transport with a COIN connection.

UNITED STATES AIR FORCE GALAXY C-5 TRANSPORT???

shaped on 24KT GOLD COIN

Carts ?

Neither of those two answers are correct, sorry.

ok..nevermind..i will wait for another clue and guess again...kambateh..

Train? i.e. a railway

Not a train, nor railway.

Penny-farthing

Correct, netbizoppsteam. Correct answer is the Penny Farthing bicycle.

For those who might not know, the penny and farthing are old English coins.



Next one then.

We are looking for an electrically propelled vehicle.

Railway ?

it would be Tram ...

Streetcar

Shinkansen (japanese bullet train)

Nope, none of the above.

EV1 ?

The Tango

None right yet.

Next clue

The maximum speed of this vehicle is around 12 mph. It has a variety of uses, being operated even by some police forces. Authorites have differing views on how safe they are, and how they ought to be treated as far as categorisation is concerned.

Electrocar ?

Segway i2 Personal Transporter

Segway PT

Well done again, netbizoppsteam, the answer is the Segway.



Many safety organisations recommend that safety helmets are used when using the Segway (unlike the riders above)


Next question.

I am the biggest of my kind in the world.

T 282 B mining truck

Bigfoot ?

150,000-tonne Queen Mary 2 cruise liner

what about Bagger 288 ?

Antonov An-225 ?

A380???

sea???

Next clue..

Only two prototypes were built, but because of its size the design was considered a failure by its manufacturer and the government. It was just too big and difficult to maneuver to be a practical machine.

It was never put into operation.

Mil V-12

Largest Helicopter in the World

Edit is not permitted

Yep you got it, thebigone.



In a few minutes I`ll be posting the final question of this contest.

Mil Mi-12 ?

Realist i think you said before that Edit is not permitted ... right ?

i have picture for something before i edit..take a look at the answer see i change or not..you will understand



sorry if i cause any problem..

majdi290 is right in saying that edits aren`t allowed. I`d missed both of yours, thebigone. On this occasion I`ll allow it because I hadn`t made that rule clear to all participants, but, from now on , no more edits will be allowed.

This is the final question then.

As we`ve given thebigone the benefit of the doubt over his answers, we`ll ask him to sit this last one out.

Ok, here goes. I`m looking for the name of a vehicle in a song title.

If no one gets it I`ll be posting another clue very shortly to help.

cadillac

No. Next clue..

Although the song title has the name of a type of vehicle in it, the song itself isn`t about the type of vehicle.

Train ?

ok..i fully understand this..


i cant take the question anyway...because of this rule
