Pretty easy to use. Used an equivalent to do some eyeliners for my Exige 350 in the past

Sure... each ;)
Can someone please share with me the origin of the word “quid” for a British pound? Here in the US a dollar is a “buck”. This comes from colonial times when people traded buckskins from deer for other goods. Quid?

Quid? maybe they where trading squid, now renamed into a popular Korean game. 😂

Quite an interesting read. Not sure about blame- the- Americans but laughed at the pound of flesh reference. Squid as currency might explain the C note . ;)
I liked the Irish explanation.
The American dollar has its share of odd euphemisms
So how many Squid is a 2022 Emira?
So, 2 out of 13 supporting my "squid" guess.
I feel like I have more success than the Shadow Grey !!!

Emira on order
I'd be inclined to believe the Latin or Gaelic origin stories... The squid thing feels like it is grasping a bit ... I don't think it has legs TBH...

Like the number of licks it takes to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop, I guess, “the world will never know”. Thanks everyone.
