I think some people are going to find the Flying Finn very tricky.

Really? I thought I would get all the easy ones out of the way!  ::)

Bonus Letter Day coming this weekend everybody - watch out for an announcement in this thread.

I thought the 'Flying Finn' was one of the easiest.

Did you read the question Ian?

Which F1 driver was first called, "The Flying Finn"?

I thought that was a tough one.  :DntKnw:

Greener, Question was: Which F1 driver was first called, "The Flying Finn"?  Answer was the 2nd letter of Surname - hope you're enjoying it!!  :crazy:

Today's answer will NOT be given in the Bonus Letter Day this weekend.

Is that because you couldn't figure it out yourself, Wizzo? :nono:

The AFC is motor sport related of course.  ::)

Apologies for removing yesterdays question early, I've copied it below if anyone missed it.

1.How many seasons did Bruce Mclaren drive for Cooper?
2.How many Grand Prix did Michele Alboreto win while at Tyrrell?
3.How many Grand Prix starts did John Love make outside of his home country?

Q1-Q2+Q3=?

You need the last letter of the answer. i.e TEN would be N.

 :yahoo: BONUS LETTER DAY!  :yahoo:

Here's your chance to ask for a letter that you either missed or just couldn't get the answer to - Simply PM me with either the question or the day and I will send you the answer. Remember to choose your question wisely.

As a bit of an added bonus I know a few people asked me what AFC stood for in one question. AFC= Automobile Club de France.

You'll be pleased to know you're over the worst of the questions now and things will start to get a littler easier. Rest assured you will still be able to guess the phrase even if you have missed 4 or 5 letters so, never give up my friends.
