What car is this?

[Paskman]

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.

Was the degree from the University of Buenos Aires?

Are you taking the mick.......... ? Didn't you know Eva was French?

(makes note to go in to Wikipedia to change Eva Peron entry to show her to be born in a suburb of Paris.)

I agree.....Honda Jazz sport. My Dad has one.

Surely that's an oxymoron?

Why was Eva never caught without any underpants? Because she always had Juan Peron.

I don't think that's a VW Up as the light is too short.
Looks more like a 6n2 (mk3 ph2) Polo, however the bonnet looks too steep.
But of course I may be wrong.

Underpants? She had a strange aversion to knickers, perhaps?

I got stuck behind a 2CV all the way from from Lewes to Polegate last night, 35-40 mph; when he got to the Polegate lights, they were green so he stopped. As I drove past I shouted "salaud incompétent putain !!!"

(and no, I haven't got a degree in modern languages either)

Not when driven to the bowling green it's not.

 

[Chinman3000]

I meant Mrk 7 .....and actually im not 100% it is a Type R this morning either......

I am so impressed by your extra picky statement.

I am sure your parents are very proud

Saw it today and not sure what it was!

That is a 2cv6 Bamboo, very desirable version amongst 2cv enthusiasts, fully restored worth up to 8 thousand.

Rather than trying to be picky, I thought people might find it interesting, which some seem to have done. You didn't have to read it.

Both my parents died in 1970, so they will be blissfully unaware of it all.

Citroën have started pronouncing it as Sitro-en in their latest TV advert.

Thanks - I will listen out for it.

Eight grand for what amounts to a lawnmower engine, deckchairs and tinfoil ? The world's gone mad. You could buy a nice Humber Sceptre for that money.
