Nice and simple. The connection please between the 1938 Le Mans and Troy Tempest.

Oh here we go again!!
Right, lets have a think..................................... Troy Tempest was captain of Stingray, which came from Marine Ville. I have no idea, so I'll say Stingray is the answer in some way. |

You're in the right neck of the woods (or should that be coral, perhaps!).
But Stingray isn't actually the answer. Last edited by Aysedasi; 4 Jan 2002 at 21:21. |

Phi Phi was the nickname of the streamlined Alfa 8C driven by Sommer. I just thought that Stingray might have had a Fifi in it....

Ah, I see! No, very cold with that one.
I'll give you a clue, think of the characters. (In Stingray, that is). If you've never watched it, you'll be struggling........ |

Sorry, Le Mans yes, Thunderbirds yes, Stingray NO. A quick Google revealed that Troy was 'born' in 2038 ?

Stingray characters:
Troy Tempest George Lee Sheridan (Phones) Atlanta Shore Marina Samuel Arthur Shore John Horatio Fisher Titan Artura I will have a go at Titan. Was a car or driver nicknamed Titan? |

Yes, you were wrong SL, but Hakkiman has the answer within his grasp! But the connection is not Titan.
(By the way, who was the little chap who helped out Titan in his little sub, was it X20, or something like that? This has nothing to do with the teazer!! I'm just curious to remember!). |

The little chap was X20 (Artura)
Artura is better known as Titan's surface agent, code named X20. Artura was born in the underwater city of Khazu on April 1st 1958. Small in stature and cowardly, he was bullied unmercifully as a child. Scholastically inclined, Artura became a scientist and specialized in electronics. The underwater city of Khazu was conquered by Titan and Artura immediately offered his services to his new leader to spare his life. Titan appointed him a surface agent to spy on the land people and he took on the code name X20. X20 is based in a seemingly abandoned house located near Marineville Base on the island of Lemoy. X20 is an expert of disguise and a talented actor. He often masks his true amphibian nature to walk among the surface people. Despite many failures, X20 is intelligent and shrewd. He often suffers from bad luck. Extremely fearful of Titan, he will do anything his master commands him to do. Because of his duties, X20 has little time for leisure or hobbies. However, he does like to play the piano and organ. As for the teazer, How am I so close? I really have no idea. |

I'll have one last guess.
Is it either Phones or Atlanta? As Phones was Troy's co pilot and Atlanta was in love with him. |

Hells bells, Hakkiman! That's some in-depth knowledge there!
OK. Big, BIG clue time. The answer is here (courtesy of Stefan's excellent pages) http://user.tninet.se/~aiq291w/1938.htm |

SL - why is it George Lee Sheridan?
Hakkiman - just narrow that choice of 2 down to 1 and you're there! |

Good try! As it happens, the drivers were both Brits.

Actually, I have to confess I've just spotted an ambiguity. Having looked again at Stefan's 1938 page, I see his spelling of the name differs slightly from that I have from the ACO's information - Stefan's version has an extra 'a'. (I thought I'd better mention that before Hakkiman points out from his encyclopeadic knowledge of Stingray that I've got the spelling wrong!!).

Car 42 on that page would seem to answer the various clues. How you get Atlanta or Atalanta to Le Mans and Stingray I am at a loss, presumably a character or place was called Atlanta in the TV series ?

Stefan lists the car (no 34 actually, shown as 42nd in the order) as the Atalanta, whereas the ACO record it as the Atlanta. Driven by Brits Charles Morrison and Neil Watson, it went out of the race after only 4 laps with what the ACO describe as a "wheel pivot" failure (Stefan says "rear hub" - close enough). There's your connection, Troy Tempest and Atlanta Shore! Seeing as you and Hakkiman were the only ones with the fortitude to keep having a go at this - was that too obscure, too silly even? If I am going to post a teazer every couple of weeks, I don't want to make 'em too easy, I know how good you guys are!! Thanks for participating anyway!

Yes please keep finding them, in the tween weeks I will see what I can do to fill the gap.
As a clue in today's muck out of the loft I have found a load of old Le Mans and other sports car photo's, my brother has cleared out his garage and found another load. So photo idenity from the last 23 years of Le Mans might be high on the list !!! Simon |
