Dependent on your definition of "mid" you in the right area but not the Rabbit - so Brucie would say Lower

OK time to call this to a close, the answer I was looking for was 1973. Martin Cooper of Motorola made a call on a cellular network from a portable hand held device to his competitor in Bell laboratories a bit of one up man ship.

The nearest answer came fro spkennyuk with mid 70's sometime, so over to you ;)

This is easy. Only as it's one of the facts that comes up between the games on Battlefield 1, he was an ambulance driver.

Well right , it is easy if you know.
He was indeed an ambulance driver and was badly wounded for his trouble.
Well done, over to you

When was the last time that a Bugatti raced in the Le Mans 24 Hour race?

And I will be strict on the year. None of this ranges malarky.
