Hi,

It's called Descriptive Writing - that's what I do, I'm an Author and fully avail myself of Artistic License. Before anyone asks, I won't post a Bibliography here, that part of my life I keep separate. Although I do have a Novel soon to be released and hope you will all buy it (on it's own merits, not because I appear here), because I have a very special 4-wheel purchase in mind if my Royalties hit the Mark.

Anyway, despite the verbage, clearly my meaning was conveyed and that's what's important in written communication...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
