Surely its a riding mechanic you need in one of those things- it is Italian!

Point.  However, I'd be useful for driving through France.  I am now a veritable dictionary of French mechanical terms, thanks to the annual visit of my friend's red car to LM...

Excuse the grammar, but how many ways do you need to say "ma voiture a tombe en panne encore"......although I suppose there is always "ce morceau de merde a tombe en panne encore" if you're feeling a bit hissy about it....

Whats french for clever clogs? I tend to use the universal galic shrug whilst pointing at the long trail of oil down the road. Le voiture est Fooked monsier!
