Vice versa.

The Vatican uses different colours of smoke to annouce to the world
which candidate was elected as the new Pope. They may use smoke
signals on other occasions as well -- not that versed (pun intended)
on Roman Catholicism,
And "v.v." means vice versa (from other message).

Damn I wish we had a new champcar sim.

I think the single discovery that earned me the most time in the post
GPL era of sims from Papy was when I stopped turning in on a trailing
throttle, I brake late and hard and downshift as fast as possible, but I
try to get back on the throttle before I turn in, makes a world of
difference to the stability of the car, I don't trailbrake unless I've
braked too late :-D
