Titolo: T-Bird: che significa?

Scusate la banalità della domanda: il mio computer si chiama appunto T-BIRD.
Ho cercato di scoprire cosa voglia dire, ma senza successo. Qualcuno sa
dirmelo? Non è piacevole usare qualcosa il cui nome non sia noto.

Thunderbird? It recalls the first of three cars I ruined in the States.
Lovely, red, brand-new, with telephone...
I slipped into two tracks at a traffic-light in s.francisco thinking to have
enough space (15 minutes later I rented it) and I brought  it back to Hertz
with an hole in place of the right handle. :(
Of course I had not enough courage to confess!

Be', questa è curiosa, Paolo. Anch'io ho avuto un incidente a S. Francisco,
15 minuti dopo aver affittato l'automobile (però non guidavo io) ( e non era
neanche con te l'incidente, prima che qualcuno lo dica :-)). Sarà una
caratteristica da 'italians abroad' ?

Before you buy.

 Shame on you!
It was 10 years ago!!!!!! If it appened again nothing will (bah ci vorra' il
futuro?) be able to stop me to call!!!

Ero sicuro di passarci!!!! Tutta colpa dei fianchi bombati e di quei cavolo
di bulloni che usano per le ruote dei tir! :((((
Comunque io ne ho cambiato 3 di macchine hihihihihi
I feel it's easier to run a risk w/o your own car!!! :)

I came there twice, six years ago, at the beginning of my academical career.
I loved S. Francisco, in particular its special light and sky. At the time,
several come-back were likely to happen. But, then, alas, I changed job and,
accordingly, flight destinations.
I will be back sooner or later.

Dear Arianna,
Since this seems to be a general 'true confessions' thread, might I just say
that the undersigned has also had occasion to visit San Francisco. Like
others who have so far confessed to similar visits, it was some 15 years
ago, hence a rather logical reason for not having stopped by to pay you a
house call. I liked it very much I must say, though my heart was won over by
The Big Apple where I eventually ended up living for some 2 years. I have
not yet been able to return to SF but rest assured when next I do, a house
call there shall be.
I wouldn't want this admission to catch you by surprise at our next Raduno
and provide you with an excuse for wearing a pooh-suit for the remainder of
our meal.
In jest, I remain, as always
Bambi

Dear Paolo,
If it happened again/Were it to happen again,
                                    nothing could stop me from visitng you.
If it happens again, nothing will be able to stop me from
calling on you/visiting you.
I remain, as always, ecc.,

T-BIRD e' il termine in gergo usato presso le scuole di addestramento al
volo avanzato USA, ed anche sul manuale di pilotaggio, per indicare il
velivolo T33 (T per Trainer) negli anni '50.
Tale velivolo era derivato dal caccia F80 "Shooting Star" della Lockeed .
Probabilmente chi ha chiamato cosi' il tuo computer ha supposto che debba
svolgere la funzione di Trainer oppure...... e' figlio di un nostalgico !!
Bye   Renzo

 ago,
ecco....lo sapevo io.  Un'altra che e' venuta qui senza dirmi niente.
The fact that it was 15 years ago is not a valid excuse OK? :-)  :-)
New York uh?  I must be the only person on the face of the earth who
does not like the Big Apple.
Ciao

Dear Arianna,
Sad am I to learn that you feel my not having had the pleasure of your
acquaintance when I was last in San Francisco, is not reason enough for
having been unable to pay you a visit. Alas! The loss however, I can have no
doubt, was most certainly mine. I hope, as has been said before, to be able
to remedy this situation in the not too distant future.

De gustibus ecc....?
I, on the other hand, am totally and completely enamoured of the city and
miss it each and every day.

Hi Bambi!
Yes, in April.  Start thinking about a restaurant.  Did you like
Bologna?  I have a friend I need to visit there.  We can all meet there
that way I can kill two birds with a stone :-)

Now, what's the news???
Weren't we supposed to meet in Milan, land of two of our gracious
Queens?
I knew it, I knew it !!!
I'll have to wake up before noon once more.

PS
Killing two birds with a stone = Prendere due piccioni con una fava
e dove sono i piccioni se non in Piazza del Duomo?

e dove sono i piccioni se non in Piazza del Duomo?
Actually, Peltio, the saying goes: "to kill two birds with ONE stone"
Isn't that the sense in Italian too?

 Raymot
yes, sorry.... of course you are right. I can kill two birds with ONE
stone.  And I heard you are going to fly in from Australia to join our
group.
And you should never begin a sentence with a conjunction.

Peltio, I am flexible.  We can meet wherever you want.  Since you guys
already met in Bologna and you liked "La Teresina", I thought we could
do the same this time, but if you want to meet in Mediolanum that's OK
too.
WE have about 3 months to decide.

Dear Arianna,
The undersigned has never been to Milano, and can only claim to have seen
Bologna when attending the last Raduno. Therefore, speaking for myself,
either of the cities would be convenient. Peltio, as is well known from our
last encounter, was - and seemingly is still - rooting strongly for Milan,
but I have no doubt the motto , ' have chance to see Ari, will travel'
applies.
The majority will have its say in time, I have no doubt.
Raymot, is it confirmed then that you will also be attending? One can but
hope.
I remain, as always,
Bambi

Not only is my attendance unconfirmed, but I only just heard of 
it myself from arianna's letter. I'll let you know more when I 
find out who it is that's looking after my plans.
Ciao!
