[TallTrees]

Ah not too bad 

I know what I was thinking now Allegro BLMC 

Avenger (think more deeply ~ I tell myself) Chrysler Company

Motorway ~ yes not got that one

Still a Silver may LOOM in the distance before too long.

Well done all ~ thank you for the quiz and taking the time to mark the answers @Mi-Amigo 

[BobM]

Ah well, did better than I thought.

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done everyone.

[Cleoriff]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo. I did have to think hard about that motorway, then recalled our trip to see friends in Portsmouth last year...🙄 Well done everyone.

[pgn]

Wahey! He lives (kinda...!)

Great quiz, @Mi-Amigo and well done all ..

Well, perhaps not @Cleoriff who prefers her pistachio a little more beefed-up 🤣

(Perhaps? 😉)

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @TallTrees @BobM @Cleoriff @pgn 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.

tbh I thought the motorway question was difficult - as I don`t think many people have heard of it.

Hope each of you, and everyone else, like the categories for Monday`s WRQ.

I`ll be searching out the questions over the weekend. I`ll try and find a good mix of difficulty - from easier to not-so-easy - for the questions in each category.
