[USMA:23488] Caballos

[Harry Wyeth]

An afterthought from my trip to Spain, which I forgot to mention in my last message: I was talking to a friend about his new Audi diesel car (diesel Audis are not available in the US), which he bought because of the superior power and fuel economy. He volunteered that his new wheels has so-and-so "caballos".

For those of us not living next a Spanish-speaking country, this seems to be continental Spanish for US-style horsepower. Same in the rest of Europe?
