[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, wrong!
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.
