| If you say tranny in England people think you either mean a Ford transit van or a transsexual (person who changed there gender). _________________ 3SGTE AE101 & OCTAVIA TDI OWNER | |

Not just Honda guys... I'm Australian, and we shorten EVERYTHING, and/or put a y/ie/o on the end So gearbox becomes 'box, transmission becomes tranny, distributor becomes dizzy, carburettor becomes carbie, differential becomes diff etc etc I'm a walking encyclopedia/dictionary when it comes to car terms though, so if there are any doozies out there send them my way and I should be able to answer them. | |
