1. This car belongs to "The Tracys" - Spencer Tracy drove a Ford V8 Deluxe Fordor 2. This car comes before the main event - well, Main Event is end of May, so that must be Triumph Mayflower 3. This car fought in the English civil war - Well, the king was Charles 1st, who was a Stuart King, so this must refer to the Stuart motor car made by the Star Motorworks just before WW1. Or Standard Vanguard? 4. This car is a small barrel maker - Beer comes in barrels, theres a beer called Spitfire, so its a Triumph Spitfire. 5. This car has its night before it is married - I presume a refference to the famous drag car "Strip Teaser" 6. This car has two resumes - Dodge DD (Double D) Business Coupe 7. This car is an insect - Marcos Mantis 8. This car is a brisk tempo - Ford Tempo! 9. This car is a WW2 aeroplane - Armstrong Siddely Hurricane or Ford Mustang. 10. This car is a small mischevious fairy - Riley Elf 11. This car is good weather - Sinca Aronde Plien Ciel 12. This car is a group of signs - signs of the Zodiac, plural, must be the twins, Holden Gemini 13. This car is a Japanese feudal ruler - Chrysler Imperial, Datsun 240Z Samurai, Mitsubishi Warrior 14. This car is a young female movie star - Porche, after Porche Lynn the "adult" movie star. 15. This car is where boats are kept - Buick Riviera 16. This car is played on horseback - Isuzu Rodeo 17. This car is a Mediteranean island - Ford Capri, Studebaker Lesbos. I made one of these up. 18. This car is a monitor - Daewoo (also made electronic goods inc. PC monitors) oh, and Mitsubishi 19. This car has a red breast - Peel (British microcar manufacturer) due to the red waistcoats of the "peelers" the first police force introduced by Sir Robert Peel. 20.

d'oh, I meant Dick Tracy not Spencer Tracy. Never mind. And I'm sure Chevrolet Corsica is also suitably mediteranian. Where's the coast line near Monza...
