You are one of the few people who call it petrol I guess. I kept hearing about 'gas' everywhere in USA (it was 2008 and oil's bull market of all bull markets was ongoing!)

When a guy from India (who learns based on what the Brits injected down here) walks into America he needs a term translator like this:

(Non USA) -> (USA)
petrol -> gas
bill -> tab
notes -> bills
doubt -> query / question


and so on.... (too many to list here)


</Jest>

That was some excellent observation; you must make a great trader. I came over initially for college, and as every other college kid, I got scammed into a dorm meal plan and we always had omelette for breakfast. The serving lady would ask me what I'd like in my omelette, and I'd point at the "peppers" and say "Capsicum, please." I realized after a few strange looks that no one calls it a "capsicum". I still don't understand the logic behind this - I mean it's OK to call it a "bell pepper" but it's common to have egg seasoned with pepper (the spice).

Gas is another illogical truncation that still gets me annoyed, because it could imply natural gas, hydrogen, a whole lot of other likely energy sources.

It doesn't sound like a BIG BLOCK (85 kw Battery ) but that is fast!

The size of those panel gaps is distracting. And I wonder if the inside material quality and dash has caught up to all the tech and cutting edge appearance.

Nismo GT-R poised to be fastest Nissan ever - Autoblog

A little too childish looking for me, but I am sure it handles like a dream.

There's a video kicking around YT where the GTR beats ten of the world's best supercars over the quarter...Motortrend or Top gear.

Will see if i can find it. Its great value at 85k.

I'm an absolute car fan. I especially like European sports cars. A guy I know has a Bugatti Veyron and I thought that was the absolute fastest car I would ever see then I saw this, the Koenigsegg. This is really impressive.
