Laughing at the photo. So you don’t need to use the prompt words and can use variations of them?

GREAT response to the prompt!

It took me forever to get figure out Coupe was a Great Horse, of course I already knew a coupe is a 2-door car named after a horse carriage.

As for Tallyhos aside from knowing it is an utterance used in fox hunting on horseback; after some digging I came up with a fast horse-drawn coaches or carriages; and coach is also an old fashioned word for a large touring car.

Aside, there is a very large Horse Carriage Tours Company that is called Tally Ho in Canada.

As for coast I found; “a run or movement in or on a vehicle without the use of power”

BRILLIANT – I’m in love. ~~dru~~
