    It seems our fellow member "Codger" has no interest to post a question. Or he doesn't know that's his turn. ;)

    John, why you don't make the next question? :)

    I've got a question... Bono (U2 front man) is looking to buy which yacht. What I heard is that it's worth $14.5 million (I'm assuming US$ but it could also be euros) and has an F1 simulator on-board.

    Actually, Codger was in Torino, Italy for the Winter Olympics when it was his turn. He dropped me a note when he returned, but we all dropped the ball on Trivia Pursuit. Glad to see it resurrected. It's educational!

    14.5 million sounds like a Palmer Johnson 120'

    Does it sleep 12? That's the other point that was mentioned.

    Interesting. I wonder who that driver could be? ;) £5m doesn't work out to $14.5 million, even in CDN$. Can't trust the radio I guess.

    Back to the original pursuit

    Here's the question:

    Which yacht will be re-named "Indian Empress" in a few weeks time?

    Maybe Carl could split this pursuit in a "questions" and a "photographs" part?

    Anyone?

    This thread was slipping too far.
    Just a line to bring it up to a top position.
    My 2 last posts: 1 photo, one question, anyone?
