cowls connected to the bonnet is connected to the headlamps. nearby is the petrol tank.
fuel is used to describe somebody who is stupid. when a tyre is flat you look for the wheel wrench in the boot. usually just above the bumper bar where the rego plate is. the front window is a windshield as noted above and the rest is glass except for the one that used to be on old cars you poked your cig out of called a smokers window. in less polite circles the chrome trim strip down the side of the car at mid level was called c%^& armour in reference to the character of the kind of person who opened their door into the side of your car at the shops. at the petrol station you pulled up next to the bowser. you paid with a lobster or if you were short of paper you used schrapnel. the central instrument in a porsche is a rev countah. to the left is an idiot guage. any instrument containing lights was called a guage. i never heard them called dials. a dial referred to a person's face. for instance. "if you don't wipe that smile off your dial, i am going to have to do if for you". the term could also refer to a telephone which was a fancy device. pre 1970 other gauges were not necessary apart from the petrol gauge. it was up to the rozzers/constabulary/bronze/wallopers to stop you and inform you of speed and judge road conditions on your behalf. this would be done from a double bubble with the the blue light disco activated. all switches are knobs. whether knobs or not. the stripper (sub base, dechromed) holden was a standard. the base holden was a special. nothing special about it. top of the line was a premier. these were barely passable and sometimes featured heaters as an extra. option did not enter the language until the late 1970s - option implied choice. australians invented the idea that being ordinary was special. only the prime-minister deserved to be driven around in a statesman, everyone else who had one had tickets on themselves. if you bought a chrysler (valiant) you were a VIP. thats what the badge said. it might also mean you could get your head punched in for being a smart arse not a smart ass. a manual is a stick shift, it could either be three on the tree or four on the floor, regardless of how many rations were available in either location. nobody under the age of 30 now knows how to manually exchange ratios or why some cars have three pedals. the item you sit on to hold the steering wheel is a chair, not a seat. in a rolls royce it is a throne. this can also refer to what is known in the USA as the can. austin 1800s had stickers on the back glass that said "floats on fluid". don't ask. vws were beetles/nazi cookers - in recognition of the unusual position of the petrol tank just above your lap and depending on which theatre of WW2 said viewer took part in. similarly J cars were either acceptable or not, regardless of how good they were. for that reason british cars continued to sell in aus when they did not deserve to and prolonged use of the terms, bonnet, boot etc. all fancy english cars were called rolls royces. this included jaguars, wosleys, daimlers, etc. imported american cars were called yank tanks. the make was irrelevant. it was known they featured powah steerin and hair condishnahs and were big drinkers. ---- never say valence in australia. you might either get told to speak english or punched in the face. you might be understood if you asked for an apron or skirt. |

Well, I found it funny as heck. Thanks for the effort, I'm going to read this to the wife. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
