    Default Equipe Rapide pronunciation, origin, meaning

    Simple question, I hope. How do you pronounce "Equipe Rapide"? What language is it? And what does it mean? (Google translate thinks it's Portuguese).

    Ok, that was 3 questions, but simple, right?

    There is an "About Equipe Rapide" link on the web site that might have the answers, if I could get to it. But Firefox is telling me that the site is not redirecting properly.

    ER make sense, definitely. Would the 'q' in eee-quip be pronounced somewhat like a 'k', as in eee-keep? Or is 'q' as in quit or quandary?
