//I will attempt to explain my past successes without giving myself away, which is something you will admit, is not a good idea on these mediums, as anonymity and security are paramount under these circumstances.//

No, I just think you're paranoid. I post under my own name; it's never caused me any security related issues, just a lot of stupid questions about my sex. Which, in case you've forgotten again, still remains male.

A lot of very famous and successful people (much more famous and successful than you) use their real names on much more popular social media than OLO, without fear of having their security breached. It's a real mystery to me what you're so paranoid about.

Foxy Quote "The longest car in the world was designed by Jay Ohrberg (100 ft. long) in the late 1980s.
Based on a 1970s Cadillac Eldorado and was listed in the Guiness World Records in the mid '90s."

** Are you still on the Christmas plonk? **

Hi Philip S.,

ALTRAV claimed on page 26 of this discussion that
he designed/created the "longest car in the world"
back around 1983.

Not according to information found on the web.

Foxy - Plonk comment withdrawn.

Foxy, once again you try.
Jay Ohrberg, was one of a number of people vying for the title of 'Longest "CAR" in the world'.
And he had the title till I was commissioned by two brothers (Doug and Rodger Bell), who were seeking the title.
In keeping with their request I instructed them to buy the same and identical car as Ohrbergs.
They wanted the public to think it was either 'his' car or it was built in the US, as they believed that people would not 'take to it' if they thought it was made in Aus.
Shows you the kind of attitude Aussies have. (This is from the brothers Bell, not from me).
So I designed it with all the same features and appearance as Mr Ohrbergs, only about 10 or so feet longer. (I think it was about 87' long.)
The car had 4 front axles and seven rears, wading pool, heli-pad, theatre, putting green, pretty much the same as Ohrbergs, except longer.
When finished the car did the show circuits around Australia to all or most of the Capital cities.
I was not involved in showing it, just creating it.
Knowing Ohrberg, I knew he would want to retain the title, so I designed mine to split in the middle for easy transport AND to add a section in the middle if the owners wanted to retain the title for themselves, they didn't, they on-sold it once it had finished it's Australian tour.
Now Foxy, read-em-n-weep.
Ohrberg, if you read the category carefully, and you being an ex-librarian, should know better, you will find that his car could not and never will qualify as 'The longest car in the World', because Ohrberg is a fake, and unlike me he is not an industrial designer from way back, specialising in Auto Design/Engineering.
You Foxy, like you, in his haste to remain the centre of attention, he forgot once teensy little fact.
In making his car longer he could not make it strong enough to stop it from collapsing in the centre.

To be continued........

So because he's not that smart he decided to make it articulated, like a semi trailer.
As soon as he did that Foxy, he lost his Longest car in the world title.
If you go back and have a closer look, the last time I happened to look, his car was under the heading of "Longest Limousine in the World".
That's not the same thing.
You might as well go for the longest semi trailer in the world.
So to the best of my knowledge my car might still hold the record, although I never expected it to because it's a pretty aggressive category.
So Foxy and others, are we clear now, Ohrbergs is not the longest "CAR" in the world, until he can remove the wheels in the middle and make that 'vehicle' self sustaining and structurally so that it does not bend in the middle due to bad design and overweight.

Toni, 'which TV station? Channel two and channel seven.
The West Australian and the Sunday Times.
I was around 10 or so, so it would have been around 1960 or so.
I have trouble remembering what I had for breakfast but I'm not that far out. (just joking).
