Liver Punch Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 We've all learned something here today then, haven't we.

JohnASE Posted July 26, 2011 Posted July 26, 2011 I know that both myself and Groinstrike are big Top Gear fans. Aside from boots, bonnets, hoods, and trunks.Gearbox=transmissionSaloon = SedanCar Park = Parking LotWing = FenderEstate = WagonSpanners = WrenchesLorry = Semi (or tractor in the NE)Ariel = AntennaBump Start = Push StartCat's Eyes = Road reflectors/ Bots DotsZebra crossing = crosswalkDon't forget caravans! Some of my favorite Top Gear BBC episodes involved caravans. But I think gearbox and bump start are pretty common here in the US, too. John - ASE Martial Arts Supplyhttps://www.asemartialarts.com
