re shooting brake: I wonder about the comment about them
being expensive- but can vouch for other comments, eg. station
wagon is definitely "estate" in British... I've heard older
folks refer to 1950s Morris Minor "estates" with large
wooden panels as part of the side rear trim as "shooting
brakes"- sort of like the Americanism "a woody". Otherwise,
the explanation I was given for "shooting brake" fits:
the sort of car for going out on a shooting expedition.
