Amusing car acronyms and sayings!

[sam303]

OK there's a few well known ones so let's get them out of the way:

FORD - Fix or repair daily
FIAT - Fix it again Tony
LOTUS - Lots of trouble, usually serious

But the Germans have a good one for Fiat as well, something like "Faile in allen teile" which means 'a fault in every part'. They also have a saying along the lines of "Already rusting when you see it in the brochure" which I thought was harsh but funny.

The other one I know is from France, I forget the French version but it's about Renaults and is something like "every day a new noise".

So - any more??

ETA: another one from Germany, re BMW: 'Bayern Mist Wagen'. 'Mist' is a slang word for poo I believe.

I would call you out as being an Audi driver, but fortunately for you, you haven't added any information in your profile.

And yes, I drive a BMW.

Lighten up. We're not all so serious. Hence the funny little face I added in my last post.

IIRC when I was at primary school BMW meant Black Mans Willy, not sure why or where that one started though.

That's the one I use, although it's not all that accurate any more. It's more a case of Fix It Alternate Tuesdays in my experience, but that doesn't quite roll off the tongue as well
