    (Catching up after hols)

    I tried loads then managed: Alfa Romeo Rischioso (wildcat)

    Fingers crossed everyone! :)
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:
  • it's so hard to find a name that hasn't already been taken. I tried all these:
    Scattista (sprinter)
    Scattare (to sprint)
    Scatto (dash, spurt, sprint, burst)
    Mercurio (mercury/quicksilver)
    Cacciatore (hunter)
    Estasi (ecstasy)
    Ardente (fierce)

    all of them were already taken! So in the end went for Esplosivo (explosive)!! don't think I stand a chance though - Alfa will probably worry that people will think the car will blow up!

    oh well!
    Best win: Sept 2008 LG steam washing machine :)
    2009 May win: crabapple seedling ;)

    Wow that was hard, and an hour of my life went by..

    my fav was Liberato = Unleashed
    but that was gone already (winner imo ;) )
    then tried misura = Fit (bit pants i know)
    finally went for
    ama la vita meaning Loves Life (sounds better with alfa romeo in front of it)
    At least I found out where the name corsa came from

    gl everyone :D

    I went for Pizzaro which i think is the name of an Italian footballer... i was short on inspiration to say the least
    Out of Darkness Cometh Light, Out of Sandwell Cometh S***e...
  • Hello all

    New on here, but had a go at naming the car...

    scroscio translates ( I hope ) as ROAR

    Good luck all

    mine was rubbish............Exquisite
    wortha try, you never know i may actually win something one day!!

  • I really liked 'Audace' but already taken, so I went for 'Animazione'
    Glad they did this competition it's better than them paying a firm millions of euros to come up with the name, and it will create a lot of interest in the car amongs the public even if we could never buy one!

    Hi
    I entered Excelsis, which means "to the highest degree"

    Not very Italian though, is it! :tongue:
    There is nothing to fear, but fear itself. Namaste!
