That's gonna be one crazy fast ride! I had a 91 ranger as my shop truck for years. When the bed wore out (7.3 junkyard motors rolling around does that pretty quick). I had a 6.5x8' flat bed put on it, complete with wooden stake gates, and a steel headache rack! I loved every thing abought it but with a heavy load it was centered ^so much higher it felt tipsy! I ended up with a dual wheel kit From JCWhitney it looked badass! But the 2.3 5speed didn't let it go to fast even empty!

I'll post a pic when the rotten weather lets up showing one engine next to the other in the shop.

The Windsor really IS 3 times the mass - but seeing it seems to make it more so.


~ I can't even imagine what driving it will be like except dangerous at first...

 

Traction?...what's that?....

 

I think traction is what you have if the tyre compound is so soft it gets a flat spot on the bottom from sitting in the driveway too long...
(But that way of thinking is hugely expensive)

 

Aussie - US

thong = sandal, or toe-sandal
G-string = thong
condom = rubber
rubber = eraser
ar$e = fanny
fanny = money-maker (as in 'shake your money maker' from Sex Machine by James Brown)
bill = check
cheque = check
check = check
pissed = drunk
angry = pissed
pissed off= angry

 

usa - aussie

receipt - docket
dumpster - skip bin
center - centre
restroom - toilet (usually in a separate area or room from the sink/shower/tub)
(side note.. they dont spin either... these things are like a torrent of water so powerful, your home has to be reenforced to keep from imploding into the toilet when flushed...but the water in the sink does spin the opposite way)
counter top - bench
pressure washer - gurnie
butter finger (the candy) - crunchie bar

 

HA ha ha, nice one Schwid!!

Dont you love it when our USA brother say 'I need to go to the bathroom'?

and we're all thinking 'surely this is NOT the time to have a bath?!'


Which reminds me

Aussie - US

have a - take a (as in pi$$)

 

Bathroom vs restroom
Bathroom is what you will find in your home , a restroom is what you will find in a place of business or a public place, it's not uncommon for us to use either term depending on where we are

Dump = Landfill

To "TAKE" A Dump = Use a Restroom...

~ Odd about that; as if whoever it was expected to pick something up, isn't it?

Then there is "Taking a leak" vice "Having a leak". In the first place I can't imagine how one might CARRY a leak IN anything to begin with...

Or why you would.

As far as that goes, I expect it is against the law in civilised countries to send a leak to someone by mail...

Mail = Post

Post Office = Where you take the Mail

Crap = What the Post brings YOU...
(See also: "RUBBISH")

 

I hate it when cvnts call it a gernie - gernie is a brand. it's like calling a shifter or AFS spanner a crescent. or any skid-steer loader is automatically a bobcat.

they are all pressure cleaners/washers... then you have spitwater, k'a'rcher, gernie.

another equivalent would be to say that F-100's are the most popular "truck" in the world, so **** it lets just call them all effy's, whether it be a chev, mazda, ford, dodge, whatever.

/rant lol


also greywolf, there's a problem with that motor for your truck. the vee is too shallow, it's not a cleveland... like it should be :P

 

Some more to keep this thread going and to also let Clay know what he'll be in for..

USA - Aussie

GM = Holden (which is owned by GM)
Nascar = V8 Supercar (but downsized so that only 2 brands can race but they have some right hand corners)
biker = bikie (i.e. leather clad large hairy types)
bicyclist = biker (i.e. lycra clad fit hairless types)

 

Barkers eggs = Dog turd

 

lol

 

Some more from the GTG:
Ozzie USA
Dish-licker = dog
rubber mallet = dead-hit hammer

 

that was one thing that worried me Simon when the gang came over. That they wouldnt understand a word we were saying. But it worked out pretty well. Just goes to show that Ftruckers are pretty universal.
