Car Quiz

[Chris Gibbs]

This might be fun

(It might not ;) )

I'll ask a car related question and the first person to answer correctly gets to ask the next question.

A couple of rules. The person who asks the question is in charge of the right answer, even if they're wrong. Their word is final. So make sure you know the right answer before you ask or it could get messy!

Only questions on subject - cars - nothing else. Any sort of cars or motoring, not just ours.

And now the first Question:-

The car company FIAT was orignially formed in which Italian town?
