LOL. Maybe the lack of capital letters didn't help... I can understand Geordie, Scouse and Brummie though. Try reading "Lady Chatterley's Lover" (if you haven't already done so...) and see how you cope with the English I grew up with. Just the words, not the content...
So, if it had said EH Holden it would have made a bit more sense to an immigrant! Maybe they don't have a shift key on Aussie keyboards? i'll have to refer to my v8 as a za from now on as i do want to blend in.
