[green]Find a Honda RC51. Sorry it's a bike, but it revs way up there.
And I though we were going to be a little more forgiving with the grammar and spelling to encourage postings!
Maybe Cthree needs to update the translator to include English to English![/green]

Sorry, RC 51 peaks at 9000 rpm as well. An F4i or 929 on the other hand...

You'll notice that NJHB is from the UK, and references to companies are made in the plural, which would require "are", not "is".

Listen to any of the Formula 1 races on SpeedVision and you'll hear this all the time.

I'm not sure, but I believe that this is actually the correct grammatical usage, but not the popular usage.

Sorry again, Clovis is correct, UK is wrong. A corporation is a fictitious person, a creature of the law, distinct in identity from its shareholders and mortals in that corporations are by definition immortal. Nevertheless, they are subject to the laws of grammar. A singular noun requires a singular form of the verb. "Corporations are ...," "a corporation is ..." Such agreement between noun and verb is mandatory unless the conditional subjunctive is invoked, e.g., "if a corporation were ..." in which case the singular noun requires the second person plural form of the verb.

Similar to overly fancified but incorrect useages such as "Between you and I" etc.

I could use an 11K redline myself.

A buddy of mine is a translator @ the Maryville,OH plant and I do remember him telling me about the "Beat". This was back in 91/92' I do belive. He got to go to Germany to test the car. He said that the "Beat" would never make it's way over to the States b/c it was too small. It was built to be driven in Japan, and Japan only. That is what he told me. I could always give him a call to get more info if the thirst is still unquenched.

Hee Hee, lighten up guys, we are all here to have fun and talk car talk. If are overseas brothers and sisters spell and write differently let it go, unless of course you can't understand it. Put aside the grammar, and this topic is very exciting. We are talking about the history of our Car. Who cares If I spell something wrong, raise your hand if you do.

Actually Tofta is correct. My children attend English schools while I lived in the UK. No offense 2x6spds, we are talking about the queens english, not American English. It is used in Plural context!

OK, I started this and will end it. We are all right, how's that? OK I'm right and wrong, or perhaps right and right, wrong and right, wrong and wrong...
