Re: alfa-digest V8 #98 - More what's in a name

[AlfaNeely@domain.elided]

       Giulietta was the name of one of Nicola Romeo's daughters.  It 
translates as "little jewel."  Giulia is jewel or Julie in english.  GTV is 
Grand Touring Veloce.  GTI is a wabbit (rabid?).  Little GTO is a song by 
Ronnie and the Daytonas.
       Any other weird information I can provide you?  John Hertzman, I 
ain't....

Ciao,
Russ Neely
