Re: Just bugs me to death
Same time a wrench became a spanner, a fender a wing, a hood a bonnet, a tach a rev counter, etc. All depends on what side of the pond you're at.

Re: Just bugs me to death
Yeah, a tyre is fitted to a rim but you will tire pretty quickly pushing your car uphill!

You should not "criticise" British spelling.

Re: Just bugs me to death
It's always been tyre. Can't help it if you've been spelling it wrong.
 It's a worldwide forum, embrace the diversity. Mart. |

Re: Just bugs me to death
Does your tyre go in the boot, or does your tire go in the trunk?

Re: Just bugs me to death
John, my foot goes in the "boot", and some of us wonder why "English" is such a hard language to learn!!
Agree with you, Mart!! Love the diversity and the worldwide forum!! Dick. |

Re: Just bugs me to death
It is interesting the number of worldwide regions that are part of the Barn family. It can be really interesting figuring out some post! Just amazing how popular the old Fords are world wide.
