Filipe Massa in his street car.
http://www.eatliver.com/i.php?n=735
Cruel I know, in reality I felt very sorry for him, and was impressed
that he refused to criticise his pit crew after the event. Michael
Schumacher would probably have shot several of them, and the Ferrari
team bosses would have supplied him with the ammunition.

Who is Filipe Massa and why does he remind you of an absent-minded
driver of a Bavarian Misten-Wagen?

Coo, I've only ever previously heard SWTP & her friends refer to 'em as

I meant, of course, pejorative. While looking it up in the wordbook,
somehow, the message got sent. however, I did find a word to try and work
into conversation at some point, and it occurs to me that this could be a
new game... someone puts up a word and the first to use it (in context) gets
to choose the next one. With this in mind, the first word is:
passerine.

HWSO's lot used to have a 'word of the week' that they all tried to use
during the course of the jbexvat day, either verbally or in writing. On
one memorable occasion, after several weeks of silly-long words, he
chose 'tope'. Much head scratching and fumbling for dictionaries
ensued.

And they wonder why the Vauxhall/Opel Nova failed to sell in Spain until
they changed the name to Corsa.
I think it's an urban myff, but Colt/Mitsubitsi used to sell a car that
was called the Starion in the English-speaking world. The story I've
heard was that an ad agency was talking on the phone to a Japanese guy
in Colt/Mitsubitsi as they urgently needed the name of the car for an
advertising campaign. The Japanese guy told the ad guy that it was to be
called the Colt Stallion...
