    I suppose it was never going to last for ever, we only have a finite number of good questions in our heads. Still, I like it and i'd be sad to see it die.

    Noddy's car is closely based on a Vignale-bodied Fiat 500, and the first version of the Fiat 500 was known as the Topolino, or little mouse?

    Well done. Mickey Mouse is known as Topolino or little mouse in Italy. The original Fiat 500 was nicknamed the Topolino and Noddys car was loosely based on the Topolino.

    I saw a Vignale Gamine (Google Image search it) in a magazine a couple of years ago and immediately said 'Hey, that's Noddy's car!' Strange the uses you find for useless information...

    Anyhoo, my question is, which one of the following manufacturers has not made a tractor at some point: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Porsche?
