"""Japs 4cyl engine are of a better design"""

I was nicely told by some list member that the use of the "Japs" word was
not  appropiate, by all mean, i didn't meant to! i'm NO racist by any
means!!! far from that. i didn't realised!

This was only a quick and  a very bad translation from my part, from a
stupid "mechanic slang/French therm" to a "poor and worse" English (in my
case), so i'm very sorry if i offended any!

We just call Japenese engines this way in French.

Again, so sorry. I'm working hard on my English, not so easy sometime.
