People are always asking me if I named my business after the car. (Well...no, they're
not...but it's a good story and I like to tell it... ;) While the inspiration for
the name came when I found out how the Ferrari Testarossa got its name, the name
of my business doesn't really have anything to do with the car (it's just that the
only time you ever hear the term is in reference to the car).
I was watching
Car and Driver on TV when they explained that the Ferrari Testarossa is
so named because of its
red cylinder heads
(it's a 180° V-12, aka flat-12, so the cylinder heads are on the sides). 'Testa
rossa' is Italian for 'red-head'. I qualify as one of those, so the rest is history...!
Now that you know that little tid-bit of information, you might be amused by whom
i chose for
my mascot
.
