Finding Nemo - J Bonington Jagworth
On the school run this morning, we found ourselves behind a small Citroen van, labelled 'Nemo', which amused us. My 10-year old immediately wanted to know if it had one wing mirror bigger than the other...

I'd always thought it was named after the number of people who'd bought one :-)

Looks neat (we only saw the back before), but I still think it should be orange and white, with asymmetric mirrors...

No doubt they'll be bringing out an MPV version soon.

I believe that's badged the Captain Nemo, with 20,000-league service intervals.

FIAT appear to have sent a bright green MPV version of their Fiorino to each dealer. The Fiorino is the same as a Nemo, but blighted by the FIAT badge.

Wow - Class As must be legal in France.

Finding Nemo - bimmer-driver
I've driven one of these numerous times. Cute yes, but the rest is crap. Dog slow (1.4 hdi), tiny tiny load space, poor visibility, incredibly bouncy ride, and not very well built.

IIRC the Disney film's release in France was delayed by a copyrights issue - Nemo et un Francais?

If memory serves me right Nemo was a character in Dickens' Bleak House ?

Finding Nemo - Alby Back
Indeed PU. Also the captain of the Nautilus in Jules Verne's "Twenty thousand leagues under the sea"

Edit - that is to say, it wasn't the same bloke......
