A query was raised about the "Revhead Revival" which made me go look up the source (etymology) of "revhead".

I know the term but since I'm from Australia it hadn't occured to me that it was only an Australian term.

Which got me thinking... what do people call motoring enthusiasts where you're from?

Obviously there's lots of people for whom English isn't a first language - but it would be interesting if you could give the original term, and then as literal an English translation as you can.

To be honest - I'm not sure if there's any specific slang in the UK? A local will have to help out there.
