    I like the description I once saw about Italians setting off from the
    traffic lights - 'like rats out of a pipe' ;-)

    Must dig out the reference sometime. I'll have it saved somewhere for
    posterior ..

    <lol!>

    I thought the one about queueing was absolutely bang-on having witnessed
    such whilst attempting to enter Mugello for the GP in 2001. To
    paraphrase Mr.N.Champion of this parish, "Have you never stopped to
    consider that 'fiasco' is an Italian word?"
    Heh.

    I like the Italian meaning for the colours of traffic lights:
    green : accelerate
    amber : accelerate hard
    red : accelerate hard, with attention to steering
