Or could be one of europe's largest online scooter parts supplier's :P
Let's face it, most of europe can speak English but only a relatively small number speak German/French/Dutch etc

The van probably only gets used for moving the sprinters to the drag strip

The shop is near Koln in Germany, but his website is bilingual, at least he has the decency to have a transit now, when he started in 1992 he had a Merc!

I'd say the signing on the van was American not English "center".

There is no such language as American, only Amercan English. Don't let them take that one away from us! Christ, next they'll be telling us they invented it and we actually speak American.

Center is actually used in this country quite often - For example Plumb Center, Builder Center etc...

only because of worldwide brand identity. Wolseley formed the "xxxx Center" identity in the mid 80's and authough a british company, much of their business has historically been stateside.

american english is gaining ground simply because of Microsoft.........

I know what you all mean regarding the language but its always evolving otherwise you would be speaking old germanic never mind olde English, and yes the computer and texting will make one of the most sudden changes ever. :?
