Hi!
what doest it 'mint' mean in english? (sorry for stupid question) i found in google it is something like "very good" but what is the diffrence and when you use it?

My understanding of the term mint is that is means factory fresh, or for example the phrase "Mint Condition".

These are also mints though

OK, thanks. Good to know
The range of english they did not teach me in school is huge!

Yest, this one I knew.

I think it comes from new coins? As in mint condition meaning just as they were new, made at the Royal Mint (as in factory fresh)

I'm sure that is right.

Wow, I see I am learning from every single post on this forum Now I learned this meaning of word 'Mint' (money factory).
By the way, I toke a look to their website and this text disarmed me: "More than 1000 years of experience have made the Royal Mint a leader in the art of coin making...". Thats strong advertising.

I use it everyday being a taff, and dont really think about it, but its the same as saying cool or wicked or something like that.

I was in town at traffic lights and what could I see coming towards me....
I couldn't believe it, a Volvo 340/360. I dont know enough about trim levels but this one had a shiny grill and was a blue sort of colour. I wish I'd got a picture but there was no time.
I didnt get the reg but I was pointing at the car, and as it went past the old guy driving it was pointing and indicating at at me . I should have turned round and followed him to see where he stayed. Im pretty sure Its local as the guy didn't look like he did long journeys.

No wonder he looks angry.

I wouldn't like to see his face if it was a mk2. He wasn't even that pissed when his DB5 converible got crushed and pushed over a cliff back in the 60's. lol

G703 BCV is the reg BTW. Does anyone know it? My media players are being beyond gay. Won't let me take a screen shot.

shit happens. I'd be outraged if it was a mk1/2 but easy now, we don't want to become the morris marina club every time a mk3 gets burned

Nice one Trabitom.

lol @ Speedy. As much as I don't like Marinas, it would be a crime for this to fall into the hands of Top Gear
