Thanks, this was exactly what I expected when I said "Literally". It accidentally does translate into Serbian word for word, even though the languages have very little in common. English seems to be less pithy. How about a more web-like translation: "Powered by two hundred..."?

Another good one was "Ha, zmaju!" (Hah, dragon!), hand painted on the fifth door of an old and battered Renault 4 (small French 850ccm car, someone said it was designed using a spade), dedicated to anybody this car passed. I posted this as a good one on a BBS back then, and the author (!) replied "Oh thanks for noticing, it's my girlfriends' sister's car, took me all day to paint".
