They should have called the ZT-T a 'shooting brake' - that is my favorite Engllish automotive term.... Still not sure how they came up with that one! A brake was (historically) an open horse-drawn carriage with four wheels. A shooting brake was the same type of vehicle used in hunting (thus shooting). The current meaning has evolved to mean a station wagon or estate wagon. But you all knew that, right? Cheers, Lew Palmer |
