Hi Sam, yes it is (think Land Rover). And while being American, I wholly concur with your assessment of "those darn...thangs". They are thirsty buggers, and are far too numerous and unnecessary for the average person here.

Sport Utility Vehicle, Sam. The usefulness of which was portrayed very accurately in the 'Offroaders' sketches in The Fast Show.

Aaaaaaah yes! You mean a 4x4.
SUV, cell phone, center, meter, tomato.
Where will it all end?
Bob - regarding the "Fast Show" - genius.

I've given up trying to teach my American friends to spell, Sam. And I won't let them near my bathroom for fear of what they might do in there.

YANKEE? Since this is the holiday season, I will let that posted remark pass.
I agree, the multiple choice selections on that quiz were at times, confusing. I have taken several Titanic quizzes on the internet and have found different answers from the same basic question.

SUV's are a given in Missouri. Yankees Rule!!!!! During the Civil War they freed the Slaves.
My ancestors wanted to be Yankees so bad they sold themselves as indentured servants to get here so I'm proud to be a Yankee.

I'm a First Mate. Poorly done quiz, I say. It pained me to say that ol' EJ did nothing to avoid an accident, but I wanted to 100% this.
The Iceberg was "invisible" because...?
It was bloody dark and calm, none of this "ice had darker than normal coloring", which was, incidentally, the 'correct' answer.
Gash?
At least it said One of the first uses of SOS rather than "The First"...
THe one about snapping is another poorly thought question in "It's Erse was too heavy for it's own good" not being an option. Low-grade steel, eh?
The "More first class men survived than third class children" is something I've always meant to look into.
I'd like to know where the information for Q.14 came from.
Well I got 13 of 15, which is a percentage I can't be annoyed to work out.
