When I was young, I thought these were the weirdest cars in the world. Now I'd love to have one.

Back in the day, it was Bombay gin for me.
I also remember a gin drink with lemonade and champagne but can't remember the details. Haven't had one drop of alcohol since spring 1982.

French 75 which is a revved up Tom Colins.

Neighbor had a couple when I was a kid. Everyone loves them. I have always hated them.

For that matter, I can’t think of any French car I like.

Pronunciation, here in NZ we pronounce the name Sit-trin and my French family friends pronounce it something like See-tro-een.

If you were to use Google Translate I think it would call the car a lemon.
