Re: WHat does the e in i.e mean?

Lol! Yes, I think the Italien for i.e. was pretty obvious to translate to English!

Talking of which, you might be interested to know why Vauxhall uses the badge GT/E on some of their older cars. It actually comes from the fact that a lot of Vauxhalls are German designs by Opel (only the UK has Vauxhall, the rest of Europe has the same cars badged as Opels).

The GT bit is pretty obvious (Grand Tourer/ Tourismo), but the 'E' bit signified injection. This is because the German for injection is 'Einspritzung'. Try saying that after a few beers!

But anyway....

Chas

Actually, in that context, it means 'est', as in 'id est'

Just to add. Remember an old mate owned an Opel Monza GSE. That was 6 cyl 210 bhp monster. A large coupe with bucket seats. With the same digital panel as the Kadett GSI. I guess the model names are different as well. I think the car referred to as a Nova has always been the Corsa over here.

Einspritzung is easier for me as a norwegian to say 10 times after 10 beers, because the words actually translates easily from german. Einspritzung (D) / innsprøytning (N).

Have to work now...

Morten.
