It means "enjoyment of driving". Supposedly enhanced by having a German car! Originally Posted by Popoki_Nui

Best German word I have met so far was in our house contract: Altlastenverdachtsflächenkataster - the English translation takes up a whole paragraph.
Favourite Welsh word: stwnch - such a great way of describing mashed potato.
DH´s favourite has to be PIE
