Sorry about that. I didn't know the rules. It said Google away so I used a search engine and started looking around. I don't know any Google cheats nor did I search by image.

It was my fault and according to DM my forfeit is to buy the beers. I have paid much worse forfeits in my life :cheers:

B.T.W. there is probably no answer to my '100 Pipers' bike... I just thought I would share and I like it.
It looks very homemade and very much M.I.T.

Here is one that some of you well travelled folk may have seen. What is it may not be so difficult, but where is it now and what is it`s claim to fame? Please refrain from using Google!

Is it in India by chance? I think I remember seeing a TV program about a maharaja who has a collection of old British cars. The collection is open to the public I believe and includes a couple of Rolls Royces and a MGB-TF.
Can't remember where is is in India and who the maharaja was though.

I recon it is a Cadillac too. If it is indeed a Maharaja car, I'm sure it was customised for him.

The red whoopy cushion looking thing could be the state emblum or simply a very large early red nose day thingy!

It definitely looks like an early 1940's Cadillac convertible, I haven't a clue where though.

Yes, it is a Cadillac, 1938 /39.
Pete is observant!
Billy Joe 1, the car in that collection is an MG TC.

I think it is a hot water bottle. They fill it up if they have to drive up the mountains in the winter time. :rasta:
