Here's something I've been meaning to ask the list for a while:  What are
some British terms for driving fast?  I've heard "giving it some Welly" and
"spirited driving" and so on, but that's all I can think of...  The reason I
ask is because I have a buddy who's heavy into muscle cars, and I like
driving him nuts telling him to put something in the "boot" or asking what
some car has under the "bonnet" or spelling carburettor with two t's.  It's
fun.
