Ok, I'll enter the fray.

Would it be a Scripps-Booth Bi Autogo????

Only came in red apparently.

Buddahaid · 08-26-19, 07:13 PM

Looks right, but my god, what a bizarre vehicle. Where's the sixth wheel? No wait, two wheeled motorcycle with four training wheels?

All those tubes are the radiator apparently.

eisenwurst got it! Someone reads the clues! An 8 cylinder hybrid: 'twixt a car and a motorcycle

the training wheels were retractable!

Eisenwurst · 08-26-19, 11:48 PM

Ok, my go.

Who is this distinguished Gent???

A Celebrity in his day - late 1850s ( some of us oldies Subsim members may have gone to school with him - weak joke. )

Closely associated with the young colony of Sydney Australia.

By a strange twist of fate, he repaid his "karmic debt" some years later in a strikingly similar fashion to what he's famous for.

More hints to come.

The Progressive caveman?

No....

"Progressive"?????

Your post pic looks a lot like the "progressive' types currently driving my city into the ground

Wrong answer.

Buddahaid · 08-27-19, 12:03 AM

Ah, he's a advertising character for Progressive (Oops Geico) Insurance from several years ago. "So easy a caveman can do it".

Buddahaid · 08-27-19, 12:04 AM

Delete. Crap what do I have to do to stop this?

Buddahaid · 08-27-19, 12:08 AM

Oops, repeat and delete.

Cavemen are great. They got us to where we are today

Ned was born in 1855; so a little young for the 'late 1850's". I looked at the Ned pics too! Weird though: I've built my own armor for a college project and my Civil War Parker-Hale .577 Enfield rifle is the same... just not the Snyder-breech conversion Ned carried, now on display at the Victoria Museum with his homemade plowboard armor- capable of stopping the Martini-Henry round to the visor! My present-day triple-threat Safariland kevlar with shock-plate could'nt do that!!

Jimbuna · 08-27-19, 01:04 PM

Lewis Henry Lavenu?

Aktungbby · 08-27-19, 01:22 PM

was he a notorious bushranger?

Jimbuna · 08-27-19, 01:39 PM

Hang on a second, isn't it eisenwursts question?
