Foreign Exchange...I help Aussie and New Zealand Importers and Exporters get better rates than the banks are offering, saving them money.

Do you do any aircraft stuff, I’ve got mates who are bringing stuff in occasionally

There are a few differences with what you guys call things on a car...I have to re-think things when I'm entering stuff on here haha
Boot = trunk
Indicator = signal light
Bulkhead = firewall
Earth wire = ground wire
gearbox = Transmission
Spanner = wrench
Front wing = front fender
reverse lights = backup lights
Tomato = tom-ate-toe hehe

Also
Windscreen...... Windshield.

Was in the US for holiday a few years back, it was a strange experience not being understood by other English speaking people! Horrified one woman when I asked if they had any meat pies....
Gotta love the rules for modifying vehicles there though, you guys seem to able to what ever you like , my TJ is illegal over here, I ever get done I’ll have to spend a week putting it back to almost standard for an inspection!

I spent 2 years in Australia. Took me a little bit to get use to some of the different terms. Was in a restaurant and asked the waitress for a napkin... couldn't figure out why she looked at me so strange until one of my Australian friends (mates) told me.

We went into a Starbucks in San Francisco, I asked for an iced coffee , I was handed a cup of cold black coffee with ice cubes in it...... here it’s a delicious creamy drink with icecream on top and chocolate flakes...... I was a bit disappointed!!!
