Although just reading the origin of the name 'shooting brake' and it seems it is most likely from the word 'break'

A 'brake' was the word for a coach chassis used to break in horses

The 'shooting' bit was a carriage to transport a shooting party and their accoutrements

There is some conjecture on the origin of the term 'brake'. Another theory but less believed is that it came from a Scandinavian word 'Brik' meaning carriage or wagon

Justin your design is very cool. I am considering a new car for the dog and that might be the solution!

Shame about the photoshop as that Morgan looks the part.

Busted !! oops

I must be going native after 29 years in France.

Break is the French word for an estate car. In English it is indeed a shooting brake.

It's a Shooting Break Aero 8. And would incorporate a pair of Purdy shotguns in a pull out boot floor tray, along with and a whisky cabinet and a cigar humidor for good measure.

Considering the comp has closed, did anyone else have any designs or ideas they want to share?

Best,

JB




This actually looks very usable dare i say !
