Hey, that's why your English is so good, I thought it was because you go to an English or American school.
But because you live in India it is normal not to know the lingo of the streets in the UK.
I am English as a third language, sometimes I'm out of touch with the terms used abroad, because language evolves, I've been living in Scotland for almost 30 years now.
The internet helps keeping me up to date!

Most I've had was 285bhp but that was with an 18.4 litre Meteorite V8 running on petrol in a Thornycroft Antar.
