I think you will find that there is no acute accent on the last "e" of
"Equipe". Thus, the correct pronunciation is "ekeep". This was how I
remember the name being pronounced back home in the UK in the 60s, when it
was first produced. I believe you may be in the company of Royalty, by the
way - seems to me Princess Anne buzzed around London in one of "them
thangs".
Good luck with the new toy!
