    Word association, being lead around by the nose. Or is that to keep said individual from rooting under the fence.

    yep, and having your tow hook hanging out there looks just as dumb.....IMHO.

    As to the butt crack, I don't really see an improvement - especially if the shorts have a nice brown racing stripe in them.....at least the plumber earns his - making his living doing honest work - the other guy is just a poseur.

    Point being, everyone has their ideas of style - I like smooth, sleek and sophisticated, others like their tow hooks hanging out and their fog lites on in the daylight - to each his own.

    :cornut: I'll give you 30 as I'm a Soldier. The recruiter said that I'd need a frontal lobotomy to be a Marine and I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.:lol::lol::lol::lol::Thumbsup:

    Since "Terminology" crept into the Thread I have a question. What would be the term/slang for "spark plug" in England or Australia?

    Jason, I was in the Army a lifetime ago, 11bravo, and was forced to retire, so I went on to do more productive things:beer:D:beer and mess around with cars.

    A fellow Miniac and I from our local MINI Club are working on a rating system for restaurants we visit on MINI Cruises. Thats the reason for the interest in spark plugs.

    I've heard spark plugs called "firing pins", but other than that - they've always just been spark plugs, or plugs....

    YW for the vid, I thought it was funny too - and to the point! I also am not a rap music fan.....

    Firing Pins bring on an entirely different connotation for me. Where was the origin of the firing pin term, like nationality?

    Tow Hooks, I call the theft enablers, so I suppose having them as strictly decorative might be the goal of the aluminum ones. I too like the smooth look, check out my SMOG-2 in the Garage.

    :cornut: Wikipedia says "sometimes in British English called a 'sparking plug.'"
    11B 'Queen of Battle', Follow Me! (from War Between the States Infantry Colonel) I'll give $1000 if you can find a cavalry man who died with his boots on!

    Jason, didn't all cavalry troops, who died in battle, die with their boots on? I have seen a situation where a guy was blown completely out of his laced up boots, leaving the boots intact, but that is all that was intact:eek6:

    Keep your head on a swivel... And your hands on the wheel:biggrin5:
