Default Andrew: I'm glad I'll

Andrew:
I'm glad I'll be quoted in the future (for something good, that is). It's interesting how a lot of things make more sense when you know the meaning of some words. A "racing team" in Italian would be "Squadra di Corse" (Scuderia sounds better, don't you think?).
The Italian word for "Race" is "Corsa", as in "Rosso Corsa"(Race Red).
In the early days of racing in Europe each Country was randomly assigned an official color to identify their racing cars.
Italy got Red, France got Blue, Green for England, Orange for Belgium an so on.
By the way, cars in Italy are Females, so if you want to say: "my red Ferrari" it would be "la mia Ferrari rossa".
Regards
VS
