Just any slang terms you use relating to cars or how they are driven...

E.g Driving fast - hoofing it, booting it, caning it...

Curious to know..

I took my documents into the Post Office last year cos the tax expired.

The girl behind the desk was most amused when I asked for "6 months' rent, please"

Anyone who calls a car a whip, the best part of them ran down their Mothers leg. Hate that saying.

Thrashing it.
Nailing it.

One thing i do like though, is if you asked me what kind of car i had, and my reply was, "I've got a turbo", how many of you would know what kind of car i have?

Replies on a postcard...

If someone said that to me I'd think they'd own an S2 RS Turbo.

Two I can think of:

"Go on give it" - Getting a blow job while driving.
"You wanker" - Someone just drove into your vehicles path resulting in you wearing out your brake pads quicker. Thus making you annoyed.

Going fast/launching hard/genrally tearing about - Giving it some love

Going slow - pootling

rent = tax

Doofloppy - any part of the car (can get difficult when talking about multiple things) ie "I was giving it some love but I think my doofloppy's loose, it was rattling like a pillhead"

Automatic - Spag chariot/Autospastic

intercooler - interwarmer

Also some for tools ie "gimme the 18 on a gun" (18mm socket on air gun)

Need a 3/8ths stenny (extension)

my fav (not slang, more an idiot speaking really)....

Canvas: When referring to camber

Quality, me too!!! Weird that eh? Considering there's a million cars with turbo's but the S2 is "the turbo". Whereas, i find Series 1's are called just that most of the time, Series 1's.
