What car is this?

[TomandJerry]

Saw it today and not sure what it was!

 

[Badger]

Citroen 2CV I think

 

[Bob!]

Yeah, an old 2CV

 

[atfc village]

Deux Chevaux.

 

[Chinman3000]

Nissan Primeria, VW Up, VW Golf (Mrk4), Honda Civic Mrk2 Type R, and a Citeron 2CV

 

[Garage_Doors]

The 2 CV was designed to be driven over a ploughed field, and it does.

And you can't buy one now less that 3k for a car that was made to be cheap.

If you are going to be picky about it, it should be Citroën - although I have just noticed that the Citroën website does not seem to use it,

The two dots over the e mean that the oe is not dipthongised, so the o and the e are pronounced separately if one is being ultra precise. A French peron would pronounce it (slightly exaggerated) "citrowhen".

There is a name for the two dots, but I can't remember what it is. It is not an umlaut.

And don't argue. I've got a degree in modern languages.

Dave, I'm not arguing - and that's because I've also got a degree in modern languages, from the same university as you, if memory serves. And that's not all: my wife also has the same degree from the same university - crazy, man. I think it's called a tréma, but I'm not 100% sure. Really I should google it.

It's also called a diaeresis.

£3K? Bloody hell - I gave my last one away! It needed some very major repairs to the brakes and suspension, so we advertised it as 'Free to a good home'.

Thanks to both of you. I have wondered how to find out what it was called for a long time. You are, of course, both right.

And if you had wanted to argue, I would have accepted it!!! It was a throwaway comic aside more than anything else.
