Motoring pub quiz for charity in Southport
Discussion
A full throttle competition to help raise funds for the National Autistic Society is being put on for petrolheads of all ages this weekend.
David Simister, motoring correspondent with the Southport-based Champion newspaper, is holding a pub quiz with a twist - all the questions are motoring-related - to help raise funds for the National Autistic Society. If you reckon you know your Maseratis from your Mitsubishis, or you've got an encyclopedic knowledge of historic motorsport victories, or just know a thing or two about driving, then you could be in with the chance to win some great petrolhead prizes by showing off your automotive knowledge.
The quiz takes place on Sunday, November 18, at the Cheshire Lines Inn, on King Street in Southport, and starts at 7.30pm, and costs £2 per person to enter.
The event is aimed at being a great night for petrolheads of all ages from Southport and the surrounding areas, and should prove a fun night to meet up fellow enthusiasts, no matter what your automotive passion.
If you'd like to find out more about the event either send an email to david.simister@champnews.com or call 01704 392404.

A big thanks to everyone who took part in tonight's event.
Despite the best efforts of a technical problem with a microphone and a slightly pissed Nigel Mansell fan, dozens of people took part in the event, with the total raised on the night for the National Autistic Society coming to a whopping £126.
Thanks to a great turnout at the Cheshire Lines Inn in Southport and some very generous contributions from the region's petrolheads, the night was a great success.
Congratulations to the winners, the Alfa Romeo Owners team, and the runners-up, Six Dons and A Ginger.
Best of all, not only was a lot of money raised for a very good cause, but quite a few people came up to me afterwards and said, despite the minor setbacks, that they really enjoyed it and had a great night out.
Should I do another one in the future, perhaps?
