Friday fun - The Late Brake Show Live pub quiz

Hello. 

One of our lovely patrons - hi Brendan - asked if we might share Richard's pub quiz questions from last weekend's Late Brake Show Live and since it's Friday we thought, yes, let's do that. So here they are. The sixth round is the 'name the cars' round, based on the five photos of cars at the top of this post. It's just a bit of fun, don't write in. Answers this evening.

Good luck!
