Willami,
I'm most probably wrong, but I've always thought that the French pronunciation of
Roues sounds like 'Roo' in English
whereas
Rose sounds more like 'Rows' ;)

Also, Jeroen Cats, not Jerome... :(

My car is AC136 Gris Rose

BUT BUT BUT BUT

This is different to Gris Rouse (which I believe is one of the standard wheel colours)

Over the phone, they sound the same!!!!

and I hate to say it but Jerome's excellent site is wrong on this point

ROUES and ROSE are different

Will

Thanks Ken

I got a D in French and I always come back from France with good intentions....pronunciation has always let me down. Also I have quite a south western accent and the bloke I was chatting to was quite broad northern..... ;)

sorry - yes, Jeroen :oops:
