Re: Truck vs Not a Truck
Yes but you speak american not english and i cannot spell
Cars have a petrol tank. lpg cars have a gas tank. thismis on account of the fact that petrol cars have tanks containing petrol, not gas. It would seem outside the Uk people do not know the difference between a gas and a liquid !
There seem to be two uses for fender. In the uK what you are referring to are the wheel arches or wings.
A trunk is a big case you take on a cruise liner. A boot is the space behind the seats on a car.
Bumpers are the bits hanging off the front and back to absorb impact. In American i have heard those bits called fenders and the two small vertical bits that used to be on them in the old days as bumpers.
Do you know why american follow the french and drive on the wrong side of the road by any chance?

Re: Truck vs Not a Truck
When petrol is within the combustion chamber (mixed with air) it’s a gas.

Re: Truck vs Not a Truck
This post surely signals that we have nothing more to talk about here.
Its colloquialism and semantics.
Australia has their own dialect, Britain also. Even the USA and Canada will refer to things differently.
A PickUp Truck in North America is definitely on the Truck Lot at the dealership, and in the Trucks Section on Auto Trader.
There are Cars, SUV's (sport Utility vehicles) Trucks (of which Pick Up's are included) and then Semi's and Heavy Equipment (Semi's being Transport Trucks and the like)
No one else in the world gives a fuck what you want to call it in Australia mate. Get with the program.

Diesels are still called oil burners. In fact that too turns to gas within the combustion chamber, under huge pressure.
Re: Truck vs Not a Truck
Actually i don't think paetrol or diesel ever become gas. In the combustion chamber it is a spray of small droplets. Cannot remember what the scientific name for it is but it is not a gas.RickyBobby wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 7:16 pm This post surely signals that we have nothing more to talk about here.

Re: Truck vs Not a Truck
Um, no. We call the boot the boot, the bumber a bumper bar, a fender is a guitar - you know not quite as good sounding as a Les Paul, and we put petrol in the tank. Don't confuse us with those indecipherable Americans. We's not the same. stirpczz wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 6:08 pmFroma country that call the boot the trunk, a bumber a fender and thinks a petrol tank stores gas? not a supriseJoker Poker wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 8:06 am At least one car manufacturer is advertising utes as trucks in Australia now.
