Some of these are beginning to bug me. Can we have a dictionary ? Copy and paste the list. Serious please I've started you off. To the mods don't stick this in Muppet as some will be relevant to every forum on here

IMHO - In my honest opinion
WRC - World Rally Car
OTT - Over the top
De-Cat - Remove the catalytic converter and pipe through
Full De-Cat - Remove the lot
LOL - Loads or lots of laughs

As a member of CAT (Campaign Against TLA's), I find this thread most offensive.
