This is an english/german dictionary of motoring terms(non-serious,this is eunet.jokes remember). The reason german was selected was because when they don't have an existing word they can sometimes assemble a new one from bits they already have.Therefore non-british people who speak english should pronounce the german phonetically. I would like to appologise to any germans offended by this gross misuse of their language,but its all done in the best possible taste.

Again, my appologies to any Germans offended by this misappropriation of their language.I can incidentally speak German:
Entschuldigen sie bitte,ich bin sehr sehr sorry!
