24v! glad they changed that name, good find tho'

 

Seconded! We'd all be falling it the "T" or the "fun"

I wonder what caused the late name change to Corrado

 

Apparently the wife of the Corrado chief design engineer Herbert Schäfer, said that Taifun (pronounced Ty-Foon) sounded too much like Typhoo and would be compared to a teabag and ridiculed by the British.
