When the unspeakable are in pursuit of the inedible they are mounted on horseback chasing a fox with the help of a lot of dogs. When these same folks go after deer, they drive out onto the moors in their shooting brake (station wagon to us) and have a go. There were racks for the weapons and a place to carry the kill home. I don't want a shooting brake but I think I might enjoy the life to which one is appropriate.

I understand that it's a hunting or shooting term, but it has nothing to do with brakes.

Isn't the term "break"? As in, a lift gate (typically on a Range Rover), under which the shooters stand when shooting sporting clays in the rain? The lift gate offers a "break" from looking up into the rain.

At least, that's what we do and how we spell it.

Please define your use of the word "brake" for us.

= It worked.

TTCarrera

That seems unfriendly.

Calling my on-purpose misspelling a way to get attention to my posting seems unfriendly? If that were the case, it would be me that I am unfriendly to, and I don't mind a bit. Sorry that seems unfriendly to you.

According to the origin of the term, your spelling was correct.

chuckbdc

Argh....next time I will call it a Panorama.

Sorry if I missed something obvious, but I didn't realize you were calling yourself the attention *****.


Regarding Chase Car, Inc., yeah they also have a Cayenne S. They were filming a commercial one morning of a new Buick driving near the Staples Center. Talked to them during a break (or brake, for those who prefer).

EVERYTHING is painted flat black so not to have anything reflect even the tiniest glint of sunlight into the camera's field of vision. Mirror glass painted over, every exposed chrome or steel nut or bolt, even the license plate and screws was sprayed flat black.

They said they do a lot of chase scenes in the action movies.

What a great job driving these 2 Porsches would be!

I never considered the two words going together.....my problem was with the word "brake" and the definition there of.

I would have never Googled "shooting brake" together.
I have never heard the term before.

Thanks.

It's like a "depot hack." Just trying to help.
