Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who saw Vincenzo drive an Alfa Veloce through la città vecchia. Not sure about a Toyota Hiace though...
But proper names get bastardised in all languages whether it's Vokeswagon in UK or Yaguar in Germany.
Not the same Larnsia that used to paint the horses?

Stick with what you have historically called it, you will sound like an idiot otherwise
Ermmm..., I have forgotten the Italian for "I am joking". This is just a light hearted Saturday thread. Italian double consonants.... Moto Guzzi. That's Gutzi. But Brit bikers all say Guhsi or Goozi.

Jonny Foreigners and their weirdo languages, that often sound like Yoda made them up if translated word for word, always need a good drubbing.
Pee-erg-eee-ott, sounds like a poncy West Country low fat yog-ert that Waitrose would sell.
Mon-dee-oh not Mon-day-oh, here thy come and I want to go home.
The second half of Renault should be more bank vault than the noise you make when the Mrs wins an argument.
F1 and their Grand Prix, is the priapism of motorsport. What is the plural, prick-sizz as Golum would say?
Fuchs lubricants make doing oil changes much funnier than they should be.
Is anyone else having advercardo on toasted chee-a-batter for lunch?
