1. Commit sub I shipped to store motors.

Not elegant, but the lack of words forces the sub to surface!

Weird - I'd been planning to 'roll out' Mitsubishi this morning!

Handy for all players to supply the letter count, and let us snare the rest, I reckon. As for best branding, we'll see how the clues stand by late Thursday. Three more:

As for l'Oreal being (1'5), that's true in some house styles, though not all. I thought it was simple enough, so I went with (6).

Thought I'd jump in - as Comment #100 - to applaud such industrious niche marketing. A real blitz of a Storm, with the pick to be paraded on the weekend.

By the way, the same Storm threw us beyond 10,000 posts in a little over a year, which is also a phenom. Please accept my trademarked ta.
