<VV> British English vs American English, was: terminology

 And, in a Corvair, the boot is in the front, and the bonnet is in the back! Earlies have generators, lates have AC dynamos.

Alan,

Across the pond here in the states (colonies, to you, mate) a saloon is a
drinking hall, what you call a pub (or would that be a tavern?) That said,
maybe you can drink and drive, but we discourage the practice.

And since the Corvair is American, WE get to claim terminology naming
rights. ;o)
