Default Re: Bad day at the Tyre fitters

I can understand queen's English but Cockney confounds me as much as a strong Irish brogue (don't even mention gaelic). But before we American's get too snobbish about our brand of English, consider the southern drawl, nasal Maine, JFK Bostonian, Texas twang, and dare-I-say Eubonics. But I enjoy the heck out of the British motoring terms: boot, bonnet, petrol, etc.

On a more serious note, thanks for the info on the McGard locking lugnuts. I've been looking for something for my XF even though it spends most of it's life safely in a garage.
