Passed it many a time on route from Borås to Kärringön.
They build Koenigsegg cars there now?
Didn't realise until years later that there was a waterfall there.
Not a clue about the colour. Monkeysick yellow perhaps.

Falcon misses sitter to gift Heardle Win
Falcon 3 Heardle 4
70's (2 secs) 80's (2 secs) 90's (17 secs)
Match analysis
An absolute classic sitter missed by Falcon with some hamfisted skipping the 60's, then notched a quickfire hattrick but heardle roared back to take the win.

Original. Fail
60s. 2 seconds
70s. Fail
80s. 17 seconds. Wild guess at the pretentious guitar.
90s. Fail
2000s. Fail. Swizz as the first six second were silent. Not that I would have got it anyway.

Other 2000s. Fail. Thankfully.

A regulation day for me, 2secs for the 60s and no other movement on the scoreboard! :)

Heardle scrapes victory with dubious first second penalty
Falcon 3 Heardle 4
60's (2 secs) 80's (17 secs) 90's Alt 00's (7 secs)
Match analysis
All even with the regulars, then at 90 heardle drags up a group which people must pretend to like, then a couple of unknowns, although one of them provided the opportunity for Falcon to take an open goal chance, as they constantly repeated the track title of their awful "song".

If that's Charlie Chaplin 100% correct :-D

Theme tune for "A Countess From Hong Kong"...assembled a fair cast for it, Marlon Brando Sophia Loren, Tippi Hendren, and also Chaplin's last on screen appearance in a cameo role.

A tricky first sound took me to 5secs for the 60s but that's all the success I had. Yet another grim day for the Maverick :(
