belfastguzzi Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 To stop you scrambling your heads over that other scrambler, try this for light relief. I've posted the picture before , but I don't think that it was a quiz question. 2 fairly easy parts to the quiz 1) what is the frame 2) what is the engine and 3) if you know that, then you can say where the engine more normally resided...
mike wilson Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 It's a Trabant engine, 500cc two stroke, and the frame is probably BSA. The engine was more usually found in the famous East german cardboard car. Which I quite liked. Although the last few, with VW Golf power and suspension, were as exciting as 1960's muscle cars. m
DeBenGuzzi Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 I'm not even going to try. This is rediculous. If it wasn't for someone like Mike I'd assume this unsolveable. Tho who knows if mike is right but I'm sure he's at least in the ball park. I don't even know where this pall park is.

Didn't I mention that anyone called Mike isn't eligible to enter this quiz? Perhaps not, so you're the worthy winner. Now, what did they do with the cheeky little Fiat 500 engine?

Can someone give me a BFGtoEngrish Translator.

macguzzi Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 For what it is worth BSA A10 frame, RRT2 Gearbox
belfastguzzi Posted March 16, 2006 Author Posted March 16, 2006 For what it is worth 82459[/snapback] Could be worth a quiz point, or a half. Not for me to say.
DeBenGuzzi Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 TRABANT BSA SCRAMBLER This version won a race in the heavy sand at the Schijndel circuit in the mid-60s and must surely go down as one of the strangest looking bikes ever built! I don't know if I'll award a quiz point for this one or not.

Trabants are worthless.
