Sadly that's been my experience, with Peugeot, Citroen and Renault, if it didn't work you'd inevitably have something fall apart as you tried to fix it, or no one knew how to fix it or no one was interested in fixing it. They send those cars here as revenge for Joan of Arc I'm sure....

Living over here I wonder why the french buy so many of their cars. I think to support their local garages.

I had a Renault Laguna company car once. I needed a huge bottle of water everywhere I went to stop it overheating. Hateful motor

I've had 2 Peugeot 306 Gti6's and although the build quality isn't amazing the engines and chassis in them are awesome. Handle brilliantly.

Well we have that in common then. I had a 306 XS and then a GTI6. Totally agree.

I've been secretly looking for one over here - best hot hatch I ever had. Peugeot have gone down the toilet since

Just waiting for the Vulcan to fly over our house for the very last time.

Reading Performance Bikes mag with a beer in the other hand and suddenly reading my name on the Letters page.

A sort of 'Dear Deirdre' letter but about bikes.

You can't just leave it at that mate........

(Please )

Not sure if this is legible.

Cool. That's a proper biking claim to fame...

Thanks for that Duke63.

Incidentally, you have the same name as a friend of my father's.
I have a signed to me personally copy of the book that he wrote called "Legionnaire", which he gave me for my birthday before they were even distributed to the shops.
Afik it was never a bestseller, but I don't think he exactly needed it to be. I was enthralled by it, and with hind-site I can see that it's affect on me had considerable influence on my subsequent attitudes & life choices.
Anyway, thought you may be interested to know that you are not the only Simon Murray of note out there mate.

Near spat me beer out when i read it.

May be worth buying yourself a copy, just to have one lying around at home &/or at the office.? (although I suspect you'd probably enjoy reading it too).

Living up to my username......again

Didn't make the beach yesterday so today headed off early with the kids and had a fun filled day at a little beach town. As we left it pissed down, major sub tropical thunderstorm. I was driving back up a double lane road peppered with roundabouts. Taking it easy and mid way through one lost all grip to the front and bounced off the Armco. Pulled up in the next driveway and low and behold another car has done it a minute before me. While I was surveying my damage another car did a bounce as well but kept going. Buckled the front wheel so had to change that over and bash the guard a bit to get the light aiming lower. Long day by the time we got back!
