Was hoping some of the PH Welsh speaking contingent could give me a hand. I need to compile a list of welsh words with a motoring theme, hopefully some of which may be pronounceable by less agile English toungues. Anything that relates to driving, roads, cars, speed, tours, journeys etc.

Ideally looking for "Welsh word" then an English translation. Cheer's all.

The missus is now in stitches as apparently the above actually translates as 'The pig is in the swimming pool'.
