Car related quiz questions
Hi guys,
My turn to do the quiz at the local pub this wednesday and true to form I'll have to have some car related questions 
I can't think of any good ones, anyone know any?
Or even some good quiz questions not related to cars?
I fear people have heard most of the popular ones out there on the tinterweb
Cheers
