.....and the Charles Bridge is pleasant to walk across. Managed the full score on this but it took a while to sort out the groups with the tricky crossovers you built in to the puzzle. A great challenging grid from you, as usual.

Do any of the grid makers here actually work for Only Connect?

I wish!

Cool grid. Got 6/10. Have never heard of the car manufacturers, but still managed to sort them out as they sounded like plausible names. And have never heard of Minke or Pilot whale. Good grid.

really enjoyable

I/we shall join FirstGofer in wishing!

Found three connections early but the car makers were all new to me. Thanks for setting a fine grid.

Loved it, thanks

Thanks everyone! Didn't realise the car group was obscure... guess I'm showing my age!!!! My grandparents drove a Humber (a boat of a car), my parents had a Hillman Minx, a teenage b'friend had a Dutton 'kit car' and I carpooled to college with a friend in her Wolseley Hornet. What I found out when setting this grid is that there is also a defunct car maker called Pilot!
