<p>Hmm well Nicholas Brown gave a certain sum of money to the college, and under a then advertised drive, the college named itself after him. About cars, no, not too many people seem to have cars, though having one can be seemingly useful, not having one however is not too great a hindarance, getting by without one is fairly simple.</p>
