OK, done some more searching. Trueno is actually spanish and means thunder in spanish.
No clue *yet* about Levin though ![]() Greetz, Bastiaan "mux213" Olij Moved down under, no more hachi ![]() |

Eircam,
Does it? Thats the question we are trying to answer. I always thought that was indeed so, Levin=lightning, Trueno is Thunder. But if you translate them on the web Levin = it is, Trueno = obtaining (japanese romanji). So either the translation doesn't work or we are all wrong. Looking further I found out Trueno is Thunder in spanish, but Levin doesn't mean anything in spanish. Translating from English to Japanese I get: Lightning = 電光 = denkou Thunder = 雷 = kaminari So it seems Levin isn't lightning, and Trueno isn't completely thunder... Atleast not in Japanese.. That is, if I can believe altavista and my kanji to romanji converter, but I am not sure how trustworthy they are... Greetz, Bastiaan "mux213" Olij Moved down under, no more hachi ![]() |

Banpei just send me this:
http://www.answers.com/topic/levin It sais Levin is lightning in old english. Interestingly trueno just gives alot of info about our cars: http://www.answers.com/topic/trueno So bottom line Trueno is Thunder in Spanish Levin is Lightning in old English And for some reason some japanese figured they make nice names for cars... go figure ![]() N.B. I wouldn't be surprised if Trueno is also old English for thunder, our English friends should be able to help us out on that one.

So why name one body an old english name, and the other a spanish name? Greetz, Bastiaan "mux213" Olij Moved down under, no more hachi ![]() |
