California Mille: Press Releases

I gave them the thumbs up but most did not respond. I've concluded most of them own 350Z's.

You spelled "Mile" wrong

I wrote it in Italian I think. Since they use kilometers I've always found it strange anyway.

We are moving toward adopting the metric system here, inch by inch.

Mille means 1000 in Italian

It's a 1000 mile rally similar to the Mille miglia

This is the former race turned rally that inspired the name.
Thank you. Funny, I thought wrongly, mille was mile.
