I had never heard of a 'hoopie' Tim so I looked it up... http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hoopie .

Very interesting! You American guys talk funny!  :D

I was in Sidney in 1967 on R&R from Vietnam. I thought I would join in the local talk and I called some guy a bloke. Biggest mistake I made. I about got my a$$ kicked. You Ozzies talk funny <_<

Interesting - I too was in Sydney in '68. Was walking down the street and saw a sign that said "no standing" so I kept on walking. Was later told that meant no parking. Also walking down the footpath (side walk) people walk on the wrong side. I loved Sydney. Just like San Francisco. But I guess this is a little OT. sorry.

I don't think the term,"bloke" would be taken as being offensive - did you accompany it with some adjectives?...or maybe with your American accent they mistook what you were saying... ;)

with the replies I got above I decided to go look the term up.....I see modern slang has placed a new twist to an old word....never in my life have I ever associated the word with anything but an old car..I grew up in an era and locale where the word was always used when referring to the old heap....I am afraid to look up the use of "old heap" at this time..but I did and it still has main definition of any older car one yet drives.  guess I surely dated myself with this one.

Around here we call 'em "Hoopdies", which matches the urban dictionary. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hoopdie

Apparently the "d" went missing my the time it got down south. ;)

It has been since the summer of 2013 that I flushed out my Coupe's engine several times,

and added new coolant, without adding any water.         The engine temperature has ran

the same winters, and summers, although I have not had the Coupe out in 90's temperature

days for a good test, maybe this year.

   I have always changed my coolant every 2 or 3 years, and filter it to reuse in my junky vehicles.      

There is some usual rust in the old coolant.

I will see late this summer to see how the coolant looks, replace with new.....
