Italian in general

just a Fiat here, but after rewiring my car i can now swear in Italian colours

 

Once you have a Brio (in a bottle) and a Veal sangwich, your pretty much done.....oh yeah, dont forget to kiss your mom everytime you see her.

I have 2 canadian freinds over the years that have turned into Italian experts. Its actually funny, I think they may know more than me now.

 

Im Italian, and love every aspect of Italian culture even if I have yet to go to Italy.

 

Im not italalian. Lately, I learned to read and somewhat pronounce most of Ferrari Colors. I think its cool! I preffer saying Rosso instead of red and Giallloooooo Modena instead of Ferrari Yellow

 

So, is 'Enzo' pronounced 'EN-zoh' or 'EN-zee-oh'?

 

Im not Italian at all, but I love every aspect of the culture....cars, food, style, and you know, other things

 

The correct pronounciation is "EN-ZOH"

 

How is "mille miglia" pronounced?

 

I you want to engage and emmerse yourself in a true Italian culture, prepare yourself by letting go of approximately 70% + of what you do/say/act/respect in your American ways.

Have a true passion in most everything you do. This is why Italian cars, clothing, food, attitude, and life in general is always so over the top for Italians.

Americans know how to do this too, but they do it after being hit over the head by an Italian... they hear about passion and then they try to get it. Always playing catch-up.


Mario - by way of Palermo, Sicily, Italy.

 

"meee lay" "meee lia"

 

Italian women are pretty great as well.

 

I just like the cars.

 

THANK you... that's what I've alwas thought it was, but a friend of mine SWEARS he heard it pronouced 'EN-zee-oh' while he was in Italy... but my friend is known to be full of bull poop quite often.

 

Thanks, that's how I have always said it...

But then I heard a high-profile Fchatter say it differently and I doubted myself.

But then again, this high-profile Fchatter had never heard of a valeo transmission either.

 

Farmer dave,

Maybe you should brush up on Italian insurance policies!

 

lol...

 

(1) Re-view all three of the Godfather movies on DVD.

(2) And, for good measure:

You're not alone. The cars are pure heaven. The food is good. The wines are OK, at least those pinot grigios that have been for sale in the bay area recently are decent enough. The clothing is good. Panerai is good, although they're just not for me. Some of the babes are WOW! Of course, I might have a little 10-12% genetic predjudice there.

 

Aren't Italian women more romantic and girl (dress, act, ect)?

 

Check out the movie Breaking Away sometime.
A local college town kid wins an Italian racing bicycle and decides that he loves all things Italian. He even adopts an Italian accent, which helps him win over a female student. Then he actually meets the Italians in a road race...

 

That's an Italian thing. Italian bicycles are the most beautiful as well as the cars. Then you get to the wine, women, food, scenery....

I have no craving for fish and chips after I bought my Lotus.

The same company, Gilco (now Trafiltubi) that built ALL Ferrari chassis from the beginning through 1958 also built the Columbus racing bicycles.
