Niel Hoback Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 yeah, and I don't particularly care to be called a "hoopie" either. Crackpot, maybe, but not hoopie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 hoopie is slang for a car, as in jalopy, bucket of bolts etc.....but then I have never lived in Indiana... lol (beats being called late for supper) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You American guys talk funny! Desotodav 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Jordan Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 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.

Biggest mistake I made. I about got my a$$ kicked. You Ozzies talk funny 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...

Plymouthy Adams Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 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.

Plymouthy Adams Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) put the D back into it and the folks here in the south would want to pronounce it as two words..and everyone would then be asking if the guy was one of the Louisiana "Hoop" or from the Carolina's Edited March 28, 2013 by Plymouthy Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Horne Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 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..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
