The Tooch Posted June 25, 2013 Share #1 Posted June 25, 2013 This is for Prairiehammer (But all can enjoy!) It is in consideration of a conversation we had at MD, where we got to talking about cars we had owed in the past. I was telling him about my Camaro ZED-28 and my Datsun 280-ZEDX…… and he looked at me rather confused. Took us a while to straighten out the Zed & Zee thing, through our mutual Apple Pie/ Black Death/ Hot Sex alcoholic haze! USA vs CANADA ( And no I'm not trying to start something.) PUT sound on!! Words are great.. turn up the volume and enjoy it.. http://www.safeshare.tv/w/PKYPTOarUx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZLDRider Posted June 25, 2013 Share #5 Posted June 25, 2013 They also have flashing green lights. WTF? So, what is that all about? Go, no STOP! Go, no STOP! LOL Just kidding. But, I have to admit that the first time I saw that I was puzzled. BTW, they (Canada) also has Red and Yellow solid lights and Red and Yellow flashing lights just like us. Also, their speed limits are woefully too slow. I once asked a Canadian cop/Mountie (whom I happened to be pulled over to talk with) why the speed limits were so slow up there? He responded that it is because of all the animals. I responded with, "But, animals can't read the speed limit signs". Ba-dum-bump! Yeah, he didn't think it was very funny either. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairiehammer Posted June 27, 2013 Share #11 Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) Oh, you Canucks... Zed. Humph! That's only ONE (of many) thing you can't get correct. Humour? Labour? Colour? Neighbour? Chevy doesn't call the Camaro Z-28 a Camaro "Zed-28". Datsun didn't put "Zed 240" on the grill either. Do you call the V-Max a Ved-Max? Didn't think so. Zed. Zed. Top? I once owned a Kawasaki Z1-R. Somehow "Zed1R" doesn't look correct. Since you guys are closer to America than England, I would think you would use American English instead of Commonwealth English. Less cornfusion. Love ya! AND your STRONGER BEER. Edited June 27, 2013 by Prairiehammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
