Also don't forget that once you cross the pond your carburetor becomes a carburettor. Fuel injection once again simplifies life, because I think we both call it fuel injection. If your car or bike has a Z in the name (example : Nissan 350Z), it becomes zed, not zee. Aluminum gains a syllable to become Al-you-mini-um in pronunciation. You'll need to find a petrol station rather than a gas station, and also on that note enthusiasts seem to be called petrolheads there, rather than most commonly gearheads here. I say Jaguar as Jag-war basically, and British may say Jag-you-are (at least Jeremy Clarkson does). Watch a bunch of Top Gear and The Grand Tour for auto slang and one book I have "Haynes Motorcycle Basics Techbook" is written by an Englishman so there's some in there.

Worth a thought,if your going to get pissed,there,s a level that needs to be discussed after the event i.e, sozzeled,sqiffy,tipsy ect,my favourite local one is "hand carted home"
