Friday Auto Trivia

[MNBoxster]

Hi,

There seems to be some tension on the Forum today, maybe just a bad Friday. Personally, it's a pretty good day for me - my Drivers License expired!

To liven things up, I want to start a Friday Auto Trivia thread. In it, I will post a couple of Auto Trivia questions.

People may enjoy reading them and submitting thier answer(s). I will post the answer(s) the following Wednesday in order to give people time to submit their posts. Others may also contribute by sending me a PM before Wednesday. The contributions can be Historical, Technical, or really anything to do with Automobiles. I will review them and select 2 to post the following Friday. It would be nice if Bruce added a Sticky to it. Maybe even some of our Advertisers would be willing to give a $5 discount coupon to each week's Winner (the one with the first correct reply), if they're reading this, make your views known.

OK - To get the Ball Rolling - This Week's Trivia Questions:

• 1. Who is the True Father of the Volkswagen Beetle?
  
  2. The creator of the 007 series, Sir Ian Fleming, was a true Car Guy, which
  is why in his books, James Bond drove a Bentley Type R. But long before
  the Man from MI 6, Fleming wrote about a Car - Can you name it?

Good Luck and I'll post the answers on next Wednesday...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

1. Adolf Hitler
2. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang...which IMHO was a far more entertaining book, but not as good on film as most of the Bond offerings.

.....nein! I think Dr. Porsche designed it. Hilter was the "driving" force for it.

Thanks, I'll be curious to read what you deem to be the "correct" answer for question 1.
