What does it all mean?!

Hi, just registered with your site. Still gathering parts for my Locost.
There seems to be a lot of abbreviations, acronyms, initials and engieering terms used on the forum. Is there, or could someone do a glossery for it all? It would make it a lot easier for beginners and idiots such as myself.

If you are talking about forum slang stuff like LMAO, BTTT etc there are several online dictionaries about with 100s of them in. And a thread started not so long ago about what they all mean.

If you mean engineering abbreviations, the best thing to do is use google to find what they mean. Its hard to come up with a list, with nothing to base it on...

Probably more likely BEC, CEC, TRT, MK, MNR, GTS, Reg Rec etc.....

Let us know what you're not sure of.

Thanks for the links, sure I'll get up to speed with this computer crap one day!
Off to the pub now, I'll have loads more questions about the car itself when you hear from me next.
Thanks, Kev.
