I'm going to say Weird Al Yankovic. I know that a couple of those have been parodied by him.
Like a Virgin - Like a Surgeon
Bad - Fat
Gangtas Paradise - Amish Paradise
I know there was a parody of I want it that way, called Which Backstreet Boy is Gay? But I'm not sure if that was Weird Al or...
I once had a Lima Class 20 that, when you moved the controller just a tiny bit, would shoot off at a scale 300mph, and immediately de-rail itself on my old tail chaser layout.
That would be brilliant.
However. (and forgive me if I'm being daft here) Would that particular locomotive require the assosiated front end stuff that other mainline diesels require? e.g. Sealed beam headlight, and yellow panels. Which for me would ruin the asthetic.
I suppose the headlight...
The first 4 qualify on the basis that I said make.
Mustang Sally makes it 5 (It counts because I worded the question incorrectly, and should have indicated that models were ok too).
Ride GusB, Ride. :lol:

Burt Reynolds has died aged 82.
My favorite film of all time is Smokey and the Bandit, and I have a lot of love for all of his other films too. This is a very sad day.
Thoughts and prayers with his family and friends.
Rest in Peace Bandit.
Q plates are issued when the age or identity of the vehicle is in doubt. Kit cars and unique one off shed builds are a good example of this.
Generally imports are given an age related plate if the age of the vehicle can be confirmed, if not then a Q plate may be issued.
My first car was a 1991...
1) John Wisden 1826
2) Wg Cdr Douglas Bader 1982
3) Jonny Briggs (Mike Baldwin in Corrie), IIRC he flew into a mountain (not watched the film for ages though)
4) Mark Ramprakash, Surrey.
5) Gottard Tunnel, could have been the longest road tunnel up to that point?
6) I haven't a clue.
Oh Wow! I wasn't expecting to be correct, given that I was working from geographical clues, rather than any type of knowledge.
I therefore will throw the floor open as I haven't any question ideas at present.
