DIXON, Judge.

This appeal by defendant Western Fire Insurance Company is from a judgment of the trial court finding Western's policy afforded coverage to the driver of a nonowned car under a provision of Western's policy extending coverage to nonowned automobiles.

The primary and controlling issue is the interpretation of the Western policy in its provisions extending coverage to the "use" of other vehicles.
