What is the signficance of the three numbers on the rail cars on the cover of the book?

Same rules as last time 24 hours to get it right. Same prize somebody has too win it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeff.

The Mercedes is a clue and the car raced with this number and it is the number on the John Moxon built rail car in the book.

Wild guess.... since I am no historian... understatement!

Number of victories for each model?

Or.... you were born in 19"29", have "19" children, and have had "3" wives?

Just kidding!!

 

[Guest]

You are on the right lines Fergy.

Jeff.

 

[Fergy]

Do I get two guesses?

Nah.... not fair just cause I'm on line...

BTW.... which guess was closer?

 

[Guest]

Fergy, after that Matra you built you can have 10 guess.

Jeff, I never realised I painted something with a hidden significance. I`ve never done that before. Maybe I should start charging more! Before anybody asks I hav`nt got a clue what the answer is. steve

The numbers 3, 19 and 29 add up to 51, John Moxon's age when the car he built appeared at Brooklands in the year 2000

Hi John,
That was a very inventive answer but completely wrong.

Best wishes,

Jeff.

The answer is a very simple one and you should get it, why are their three car in the painting?

 

[Aberstone]

Er! Because its not a four rail track?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

errr because you've got 2 kids, one is 19, the other 29, and one grandchild of 3 years old?

just a very wild guess.... no offence ment!

 

[LMP]

numbers 1, 2 and 3 are all there, positions of the cars? the 9's add up to 18, lenght of the track?

 

[Guest]

Race-Jan,
Closest guess yet. Yes my daughter Jenny is 19.

Phil,
The painting was going to be one central car but this was changed the number of cars has nothing to do with the number of lanes.

Jeff.

The answer is the numbers on the cars are my children's birthdays starting with Richard the oldest on the left and ending with Katie the youngest on the right.

Shoot!.... I was sure the 3 wives and 19 kids theory was right...

Somehow I would have bet on 19 wives and 3 kids, but this is not either Utah or Saudi Arabia...
