Hi Wolfman (a guy I know has this name as NZ’s strongest man for a while and he helped strength test my teen boys at the time. Lovely gentle giant of a guy) sorry for sidebar but your name took me back!
With VIN193 you must have been in the factory on the spanners giving Sir Jim a hand.Hi Wolfman (a guy I know has this name as NZ’s strongest man for a while and he helped strength test my teen boys at the time. Lovely gentle giant of a guy) sorry for sidebar but your name took me back!

Wonder if I’m MY 23 or not
I did not know that there was a company motto. Love it!
Wait I thought he was joking. Now I’m confused, which isn’t hard to do-get me confused. I thought the company motto was “built on purpose”, so are you both being sarcastic?

Well, that is a book title..
Ahhhhhh…that’s the main company motto. Never heard that before now. The “built on purpose” is only for the Grenadier. Always learn something on this forum. Thanks
I think it’s tongue in cheek - not a serious motto (or if so, then seriously unserious). The phrase “veni, vidi, vici “ (I came, I saw, I conquered) is attributed to Julius Caesar. Personally, I use it as a definitive rebuttal for those who advocate for the “classical” pronunciation of Latin, as opposed to the more familiar ecclesiastical pronunciation. It is simply impossible that Caesar ever said “wenny weedy weeky” - didn’t happen. Unless, of course, he “had a fwend in Wome” - in which case it’s an argument for a speech impediment.
Love me some M.P.!!!!
Showcasing my google-fu:
Volvo is latin for "I roll" (volare is to roll, conjugated to first person singular and you have I roll) which is so much better than fiat -let it be...
What no Comp TAs,And now the debate begins on All Terrains vs Mud Terrains!!!! Offsets????.......
I didn’t realize the phrase “Manners Maketh Man” was so popular/used in the UK until I heard it used in a movie a couple years ago and googled it back then. Heck it’s even a motto of a college. Sounds cool as hell!!
And arguably grammatically incorrect. Maketh is the third person singular, manners being plural, it should be Manners make [a] man.I didn’t realize the phrase “Manners Maketh Man” was so popular/used in the UK until I heard it used in a movie a couple years ago and googled it back then.

I don’t disagree at all, but at the same time, I think it sounds so cool because it is grammatically incorrect. In the US we have many sayings/phrases that are GI but sound great!! What’s crazy is over here holding up two fingers like a “V” with the palm facing inward is saying peace, but over in your parts of the world it means something TOTALLY different. I love those type of idiosyncrasies.
