Used to love Transworld Sport. NHRA drag racing and European tarmac rallying ftw. Maybe where I first saw Aussie touring cars as well.

Mountain biking as well. Can't remember if it was on the same show or a show that was in that same early morning channel 4 timeslot though.

One of my friends didn't know that a drag race was a thing before Ru Paul's Drag Race. I had to explain what it was :lol:.

I can tell you that in the UK construction industry you're not likely to hear people use the word 'truck' at all, it would just be a 'dumper' whether front or rear tipping. The only exception is 25t rear tipping dumpers which tend to be referred to as 'Moxys' regardless of brand. :)
Whereas in the mining industry all rear tipping dump trucks are just referred to as 'trucks'. If you started talking about a dumper people would think that you needed a poo.
Also pickups are also referred to as trucks in the mining industry in this country.
