TLAs and Others We Use

[Mark Tomlinson]

One thing I might suggest is adding a primer to the faq of frequently used abbreviations specific to the Venture One. Consider the following statement:

Vv's D V1 PHEV DVC & ICE Rock!!
A newcomer is going to look at that and say:confused:
True enough, Waboom. Here's a starter and we'll add to it as people make suggestions. Some of these are not specific to Venture Vehicles, but occur often in our conversations about them.
VV = Venture Vehicles
V1 = VentureOne, the code name for the first vehicle from VV.
V~1, Vhatever = References to the yet unchosen production name of the V1.
C, D, D with C's nose = References to popular early body design choices.
EV = Electric Vehicle
BEV = Battery Electric Vehicle
PHEV = Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle
ICE = Internal Combustion Engine
REEV, E-REV = Range Extended or Extended Range Electric Vehicle (hybrid)
Ian = Ian Bruce, Founder, CEO, and spokesman for Venture Vehicles
Carver = Dutch Firm and vehicle that is the inspiration of the V1

Don't forget my personal favorite:

The one that gets me more often than not:

FTR - FlyTheRoad.com, the official Venture Vehicles website

(I'm always thinking "Faster Than.... Radon?")

And as a corollary:

FTRC - FlyTheRoadClub.com, the site of the true fanatics
