Turbine, cos I'm not a weirdo! 
Isn't a turbin a kind of religious hat?

My daughter call them 'turnbines'. Which makes more sense to a three year old.
Turbine for me.

The way that you have spelt it at one point i say "turbine"!!
Soz. I normally say turbine, turbin is a Sikh head dress.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

I had an eastern European thermodynamics lecturer who pronounced it 'turbin'. Endless amounts of fun listening out for the corkers in
lectures.

I'd probably pronounce it "troo-bine" if I knew what it was. The spinny thing is a "tur-bine" though

Haven't watched it through yet to spot R McD, but I can't make my mind up whether it's an old or new sequence of sketches on the A3
(or A2) piece of paper at 2min 17secs as it is very similar (in my humble opinion) to a Bugatti Veyron at the bottom left!!!

Only one answer here Turbine, I would have thought the turbin option would have originated in the US redneck regions, a bit like potato--potAto if
you get my drift

That's funny..... I've always known it to be spelled and pronounced "turbine"..... I've never heard "turbin"
before..... just sounds weird.
I'm not scared!!! I'm just marking my territory.

The US pronounce certain words completely different to us in the UK, one that springs to mind straight away is 'processes'
They pronounce that as process'seas' ....
That is just one example of many.
