in germany most people say CHELLIKA (like in "czech" or "chesterfield"), but the common english version should be SELLIKA with a sharp s (like "sister" or "sex").

anyway, one american friend of mine is always fooling me because i have a "SILLY CAR" rolleyes.gif at least it's a silly car with around 300hp biggrin.gif
