The difference between a freedom fighter and a terrorist is purely defined by whoever ends up on the winning side, giving free reign to create any labels they wish and claim truth to it.

BTW, that residual is a killer!!

Much more upside than the Williams-EV tie up was ever going to take them. Wonder if that break up is out of the courts yet..

Country of origin and can you use it in a sentence, please.

Settled. My lifted 4x4 Nissan Titan pickup is definitely a sports car!

A sports car is one you can and do drive just for the sake or "sport" of driving it. This as opposed to a car that is just "sporty," which can mean all sorts of things to all sorts of people.

RIP Ollie Truly one of the more colorful and valuable threads in the Lotus tapestry. His book, A Life in Car Design is a must read. Thoughts out to his family, the Kimberleys and the many other families I'm sure he touched.
