It's when you've stuck on so much fibreglass over your ricer, your motor turns gay.

Pinking is a fairly common term for pinging.

Still there! On the .com forum, along with the thumbs up smiley. Two of the most used smileys on that forum that are sadly missing on here.

I used to work for an old english bloke who called it pinking, as did another mechanic I worked for. Come to think of it he spent many years in England too - maybe it's an english thing.
