rice refurs to japanesse vehicles that have been "riced"

spud however refurs to non jap vehicles that have a touch of "spudness".

cmon get with it!

spud would be,..... a cordia turbo bonnet scoop on yr mk2 escort which is btw poo brown in colour and has somthing like "westies on tour" plastered accross the windscreen, it has a tow bar that is so high up in the air due to the raised rear end that it is rendered completely useless! it has a standard exhaust(not a crime on its own normally) with a chrome tip on it so large you could stuff a cat up it , it has a rev limiter commonly known as "valve bounce" which your mates are impressed by,it still has the ford deallers sticker on it from when it was new which is now mainly brown and cracked,youve taken the badges off (also not normally a crime) but you have left the holes in the panel where they were, or fitted chrome buttons there,youve taken the bumpers off and put stickers over the holes where the bumper irons were, your performance upgrade is a ramflo filter.

i hope this clarifys it

Surprised Moondog didn't touch up the grammar or spelling.

That is good...although I believe you have described 75% of the cars in the state of Oregon.

Hehe I know a certain someone with fluffy dice hanging from the rear view mirror!

and Boingo, I'm with you on the spelling and grammar. Not like our Moon at all! :hehehe: :silly2:

[moondog]

<blows raspberry> I actually did, and saved it as a text file. However, when I came to do the post (much later, as I got booted from AF), I without thinking, just hit ctrl-v, and there it still was, but with un-corrected spelling. Never mind; it wasn't mine anyway.

Is it possible to spud up a diesel without spending a frortune?If Iam condemned to drive a piece of shit, I may as well drive a satirical statement on car culture!

Not just possible, but the norm It would be a strange creation though; spudding out a Japanese car. But just start with some of the suggestions above and you'll be right.

I thought a spud was a potato!

spud n 1 : a tool or device (as for digging, lifting, or cutting) combining the characteristics of a spade and chisal
2 : POTATO

Just wondered if the meaning of the word spud is somewhat close to the meaning of the other white trash!
