The origin of the ‘rude’ V sign can be traced back to Cromwellian times (I think ish) - Cromwells mob (but it might have been someone else) were in the habit of chopping off the two fingers on captured opposition archers that were used to pull,the string back on bows.
It is also still written in law that it is legal to kill a Scotsman if they are carrying a bow within the city walls of York. I,assume that doesn’t apply to stringed instrument players.

I don't think it has to be a skirt, plaid is enough.
Spain has four hard country borders but has five customs borders.
In recent years an explanation for the origin of the V-sign dating it from the Battle of Agincourt has appeared. This story maintains that British archers were so effective and so feared by their enemy that when the French captured an archer they chopped off the two fingers he needed to draw a bow-string. Bowmen who had not been thus disfigured took to holding up two fingers to taunt their cowardly foes. Needless to say, there is no shred of evidence to support this unlikely origin, but it is on its way to becoming entrenched in the popular mind and becoming folklore in itself. It is possible that the V-sign developed from the much older horns symbol, used to imply someone is a cuckold since at least the 16th century, although this gesture
The engine in the delorean has cylinders arranged in. 90degree V rather than the usual 60degrees for a V6 as it was originally developed as a V8 where the cylinder banks are normally at 90degrees. The engine (known as PRV) was developed by Peugeot Renault, and Volvo (hence PRV) - all three brands used it in production models.
The only factory option available on a delorean was an auto gearbox, with the only choice being black or grey leather interior.
For the record, deloreans were pretty awful to drive although much improved over the years by after market conversions.

NASA has the largest vacuum chamber in the world, used for testing space craft for air tightnes.
When used 30 tons of air is pumped out leaving just two grams of air in the chamber.

Is it a woman that operates it?
Pretty sure the Houses of Parliament would trump that.
