    It's actually i (as in wit)-sue-zoo. The Japanese phonetic alphabet only has short "i" sounds.

    Also, should be "shouted" in bold/capitals as all ISUZU drivers are deaf

    Not deaf just a bit of CRAFT setting in. Quite often it is advantageous not hearing some things!!!!!!!!!

    the correct way of pronouncing Isuzu is

    trak-tor
    Dave

    "In a Landrover the other vehicle is your crumple zone."

    For spelling call Rogets, for mechanicing call me.

    Fozzy, 2.25D SIII Ex DCA Ute
    Tdi autoManual d1 (gave it to the Mupion)
    Archaeoptersix 1990 6x6 dual cab(This things staying)


    If you've benefited from one or more of my posts please remember, your taxes paid for my skill sets, I'm just trying to make sure you get your monies worth.
    If you think you're in front on the deal, pay it forwards.

    The same goes for Hino (Toymota's truck division), but I reckon we can all be excused for pronouncing it the "Oztralian" way

    "Hey Darls, seen me keys to me 'suzu County?"
