Ditto, except he called it Pewjoe.

That's the best idea yet Phil...

And then one of us will have to put it right on the Forum text itself..

If only Andre had kept the Dutch name his family started with, we'd
be all driving cars called lemons in Dutch...

I suppose we could make it easier and just forget the word Citroen, and just use Xantia, C5, C6, BX, XM, CX and all the rest. In the mean time I think I shall have to ponder this whilst having a

Xantia is the problem there Steve. A thousand (well, almost) ways to misspell that.

Speaking of such things, does anyone know if the Citroën font is available so we can write Xantia as it looks on the back of the car?

I don't know, but if I get REALLY bored this evening, I could skim through the several hundred fonts on my laptop.

My guess would be that Citorën had a graphics designer spend days working on umpteen variations of the badge.

Didn't know that.

I use Alt + 137, and it does it too.
