I'm sure that's the reason why the Toyota MR2 didn't sell well in France.

Mitsibushi couldnt understand why their Spanish sales of the popular Shogun model, renamed Pajero for the European market, were so poor...until they realised that "Pajero" means "wanker" in Spanish.

A world of my own

A few yaers ago while on holiday in Greece, my daughters friend asked the waiter at a taverna if she could have a serviette! He had a look of horror on his face until I butted in and said that she wanted a napkin, to which he breathed a sigh of relief, serviette in Greek means sanitary towel

I can confirm I've never owned a BMW in my life. In fact I've resisted being given one on two occassions.

How can you tell when a BMW driver and his passenger are having an affair?

Their jackets dont match.
