Burnout or barnaut?

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Some people just don't realise that trucks are serious industrial tools, which need to be taken seriously. Take this chap, for instance:


 

His truck control is frankly laughable - how will he ever get decent fuel economy and tyre life in that fashion?

Still, what I really like about this video is the use of the word "barnaut" - at first I though it might be the Italian for "doughnut", but then realised that it was a phonetic Italian version of "burnout".

PS The Italian for doughnuts is actually zeppoli or sfingi.
