 Re: Why "D*lly" ? Russell, thanks a lot for that info. It was well written and explained the whole thing for me, I now understand. And I totally agree with what you're saying.
That said, in Norway(and I think it goes for the rest of Scandinavia too), nobody outside the 2CV-scene know the word D*lly. I have never ever met somebody calling a 2CV for a "D*lly"! Unless it's actually a D*lly, and they then say "2CV D*lly". 2CV's are just called 2CV's by the "Joe public". In Sweden though, some people call 2CV's for "CV2"....... I have no idea why.

Re: Why "D*lly" ? Well put, Russell! As Russ points out, the whole D*lly wally thing predates any internet forum. References have been made from day one on here & there are several threads relating to it: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=264&hilit=D*llyviewtopic.php?f=4&t=2471&hilit=D*llyviewtopic.php?f=4&t=3237&hilit=D*llyDon't forget, this is the internets, not real life. Don't take it to heart.

Re: Why "D*lly" ? It's not like We're sexist, homophobic, white supremacists. We just don't like the name of a car.

We do not look at the name in the same way in Denmark. So for us, it's just a D****. The only edition that came to Denmark, was the Red/White one, and that was when it whent well in football.

Re: Why "D*lly" ? I don't like to count those places.
