Vivía en las afueras de Manchester. I used to live in the outskirts of Manchester or more preciseley the outlying districts. Me voy fuera. I am going outside.

Context: Pero en las afueras ocurrió algo que apartó los taladros de su mente.
But something happened outside (the car) that moved the drills from his mind.
