No... as I said 4-5 posts ago, in answer to your post, check Wikipedia for 'Shooting-Brake'...

Rolls Royce used it in the early 1900's, for instance.

And used for horse-drawn wagons 100 years before that.

A shooting brake is a vehicle used to carry guns(ie shooters) and their weapons to a shoot(typically moorland so that people can senselessly kill as many birds as possible).Oh well, definitely better than killing schoolchildren at random in a certain other country.

Few years ago at our Super Slalom. I believe it had a 5.0 L dropped in and was painted with Tremclade by roller.
