Default French car names? v.helpmenamemybirds

Ok so, I own a pair of budgies and I'm getting two more. Now just in case you don't know what budgies are here's a pic of mine:

The white one is Peugeot, and the blue one is Renault. See my french car theme. My problem is... The only other French car I can think of is Citröen. Which would work for a lutino (all yellow mutation) budgie. Only I'm getting two, arrgh! I'm out of ideas and all my brain can come up with is farts.

Please help me out. I could be persuaded to go outside the French car theme, if the name sounds right.

The marques with the coolest cars, imho, are Delahaye and Bugatti, so I'd pick those two.

You should break the tradition a bit and call the next one "Deux Chevaux".... if you manage to find a midget one that can barely fly

Thanks guys! I'm thinking a yellow one named Citroen and a purple one named Delage. I'll post some pics on the weekend after I pick them up
