I see a lot of ads which mentiona car described as concourse. The dictionary defines concourse as a place (where pathways etc meet), whereas the term concours, which short for concours d'elegance refers to a condition of excellence.

Or am I wrong here?

All I know is that no bugger wanted to enter it at the National anyway. I think it is a northern thing, southerners want to drive em:P

Chris,

completely irrelevant (IMHO). "Drive it like you stole it" springs to mind and to heck with words.

.......... and as most posts on the forum and this thread have mistakes makes this comment even better - get back to driving !

Hello gentlemen,

Just in case you need a referee, I might volunteer here as a non-native speaker and (to make a bad story worse!) a [sic] teacher.

Kind regards, Dieter.

Hi Terry,
