If so you also need to get hold of the homologation cert to see what they really did with the "Colognes". Have you found out the difference between a Broadspeed and a Cologne yet? |

A few more...
One particularly relevant for me: ORCHID - One recent child, heavily in debt Motorsport-relevant?: SABU - Self-adjusting balls-up SINOAP - Solution In Need Of A Problem. i.e. any pointlessly over-engineered item or service for which no real or meaningful demand exists. ESO - Equipment Superior to Operator. Could sum up quite a few of us on here...! I have to say that when it comes to acronyms and slang, though, Doctors have the choicest ones. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_slang I particularly liked TTFO.

I seem to recall that many years ago , there was a car called a FUBAR that raced in 750MC meetings ( F1300 ? F4 ? F1300 ? ) . Upon interrogation , the proprietor of this particular vehicle proferred the suggestion that it stood for Finishes Up Behind All ( the ) Rest ; but we know differently , don't we , my little cherubs ?
