a notable town for motorsport fans?
My motorsports knowledge is poorer than the geography one so I only may guess.
In my mind Czech Republic is associated with motorcycle.
So is Strakonice the place for a motorcycle race? :confused:
Something to do with CZ handguns?
Couldn't resist butting on my favourite Geography thread to share this amazing idea with you Geobuffs:

Combining everyone else's ideas: is it the location of the CZ motorcycles factory?
Is it where Skoda is based
Is any of these answers correct? :confused:
I think J-V-V must have started his hibernation early. :snore:

countless wins with Roger DeCoster, the great and friendly (and for me very helpful) Englishman Dave Bickers from Coddenham, 20km from Ipswich (I walked that distance one December night in 1970 when I was 17.Got poor Dave out of bed at 0220 in the middle of the night).
And who can forget the great battles of CZ rider Jaroslav Falta against the mighty KTM team full of Russian ganging up---Kavinov, Churavay, Ovichinnikov, and Rulev all blocking and ramming--and costing Falta the 1974 250cc Crown..

Much like Skoda, CZ was a amazing little company fighting effectively the giants...
Best transmission I ever knew..100% reliable and good for full throttle upshifts with no clutch. wiggle your toe and it would shift...full gas...
Falta again

Sorry to hear about your mum, John.
Ok, here's the question: "Which country makes the most false teeth?"
(The website I got this from did not say "China" which I would have expected)
I bet that this is one of those questions which plays on national stereotypes and then turns out to be true anyway...
BRITAIN :D
I've heard that the baker uses his false teeth to scallop the edges of his pies. :s
What does he use to put the hole in his donuts? :eek:
Switzerland
India?
None of these.
Hint: The country in question will also be the biggest exporter of false teeth.
Hmm... certainly a question to chew on.
Liechtenstein? - I am sure it was once mentioned on Top Gear on one of the 'challenges'
Spot on Anfield5 - Your question
Name the countries that have the SAME name for both country and cap city (not including ones with 'city' after the name eg Guatemala and Guatemala City)
Is the answer the Principality of Sealand and the Principality of Wy?Quote:

Difficult as 'city' is often added unofficially to differentiate. Having said that, how about
Luxembourg,
Abu Dhabi
Dubai
Sharjah
Oman
Jamaica
Trinidad
Panama
Djibouti
I think Mexico is ruled out
^
The capital of Luxembourg is Luxembourg City
The capital of Oman is Muscat
The capital of Jamaica is Kingston
The capital of Trinidad and Tobago is Port of Spain
The capital of Panama is Panama City
Sorry, other than that I have nothing else to offer :mark:
I just thought of Singapore.
The capital of Singapore is the Civic District.Quote:
