I'm sorry to say, but I really can't grasp what Farhrtzoid means,
don't you mean Fahrzeug (=vehicle) Fahren = driving/ sailing. Zeug =
the device with which the previous act is conducted. (e.g. Werkzeug =
Tool = Work+...)
Zundfugel -- Zundfolge (Zund = spark/ignite, Folge = order)
Kind regards,
That's it -- Zundfolge! Many thanks (saved me from popping the
hood/bonnet to look.
Fahrzeug is pretty good too.

I try to not be immature and get over that word, but I would probably say gute
Reisen (have a good trip)but I get Reisen confused with Riesen (giant) and
would probably get alot of weird looks!!

P.S. how about a drive you took long ago...an old drivedie altfahrt? :-)
I went to a Deutz Diesel engine school 20 some years ago. The German guy
teaching said the F in the Deutz engine model numbers meant vehicular, and
the word he used sounded like Fahrtzoid. He may have been saying
Fahrzeug. I never saw it spelled, but only heard him say it. He also said
Ja, I enjoy die ausfahrt much more than die infahrt
