trivia question #1
 
in 1965 the Targa was introduced for the first time at an auto show.

what well known song was played for its introduction?

I'm probably wrong, but my first thought? Rolling Stones: I can't get no (satisfaction) :D

The Beatles "Day Tripper"

Tyson Schmidt 02-21-2002 06:03 PM

Yeah, I think it's "Day Tripper" too.

island911 02-21-2002 06:17 PM

ROFL -you guys are killing me.

Yeah "Day Tripper". . .As, the anouncer states "the 911targa, a developement based from the popular Beetles"

Tyson Schmidt 02-21-2002 06:34 PM

OK, fine then. I'm switching my guess to: "The Lonely Goat Herd"
from "The Sound of Music"

High on a hill top, the lonely goat heard 'lady odelady odelayhee- hoo...... It just fits, doesn't it? :rolleyes:

island911 02-21-2002 06:53 PM

Sing it Tyson. .

In an effort to confront the tail steer issues, and portay it as something quite fun they used;
"Round-round Round-round, I Get Around" -- The Beach Boys

"Start It Up" didn't come out until the late '70's.

The song has to be from '65 or earlier.

Bobboloo 02-21-2002 10:56 PM

Good Day Sunshine by the Beatles? Or how about, "I fixin a hole where the rain gets in."

Planter91C2 02-22-2002 05:36 AM

in the journalists' flasbulb-thunderstorm at the International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt in September 1965 : The 911 Targa, the world's first safety convertible was introduced to the tune of the new Stones hit,.....Satisfaction.
