Well I don't do well with foreign lingos, and Bable Fish was useless. But it looks like it, "Hacieda de Tierra Blanca GTO," says "something of white earth" or "something of white dirt," and someone with the initials GTO was the contributer.

I imagine they misspelled hacienda. House, or home in Engrish.
Home of the White Dust Gran Turismo or some such jape.

Hacienda actually means farmhouse or plantation. So it translates roughly as "White Dirt Farm" ... dunno about GTO.

It seems to be in a different "hand", so perhaps the GTO is an inside joke. ;)

Right, that I too got.

Ohhh, makes a little sense there, Sippi.

I don't know what it means either, but when I was young my best friend had a GTO and it was a lot of fun to drive!
Ay, Jose...et tu? My mother's favourite car was the Camaro, for similar reasons.

The GTO is a state in Mexico... Guanjuato. GTO is the mailing abbreviation for it. Tierra Blanca is a city in Guanjuato.
