Default Glossary of terms and Acronyms

Paul, would it be handy to put a glossary of terms and acronyms (TLAs) relating to the 500 in the FAQ.

For instance: PDI = Pre Delivery Inspection.

I'm sure others can think of more to add.

Regards,
Tony.

Three Letter Acronym

The Motor Industry loves them, although technically FIAT is an FLA!
