| 'I was a nervous wreck. I'd boarded the plane a few hours earlier en route to Nigeria and now the captain was announcing the immenent arrival of our flight into Lagos. I had no idea what to expect. In trying to keep a low profile, as much as a white man can, I felt all eyes were on my possessions and wallet. Eventually I filtered out the ordeal only to be greeted by the most amazing sight on the other side of the EXIT signed door which put a smile on face so wide I think some locals thought I was a Aquafresh rep. The taxi rank and car park was literally one huge museum of the complete history of Peugeot in Africa! I stood there in amazement at each type of Peugeot I remembered as a kid. I had completely forgotten how unique they were - the 204's the 404's and especially the 304's. I do not know till now why as a kid the memory of that 304 had stuck with me for all this time, but for that small moment in Lagos, Nigeria it was one amazing sight I will never forget. |

'Well we have just returned from a holiday in Namibia a country where this car is seldomly seen; and on one of the gravel roads while consulting a map a farmer stopped and asked,"wat maak jy met daai franse ding hier".
Op pad na Sesriem I promptly replied.
Is hy blitsig he asked nie hier nie maar op die hoof pad ja I replied. This prompted a reply as julle sukkel bel maar die pad is reguit vorentoe and I replied dit sal nie nodig wees nie. It never was necessary but I am not sure where I would have phoned to as he never left a number but 6000 km later we were back home and still I wonder if the farmer stopped to help or just to admire this car in the middle of the wilderness. I love driving it no matter where |

'I started working in the SA Army, Dec 1996. Not long after I found an ad for a Peugeot 206 cc, 2litre in a magazine. I cut it out, laminated it, and put it against my office wall. I kept telling myself that "one day I will be driving my dream car".
In 2007 I bought a Peugeot 206 cc, 2 litre in Diablo Red. I had it for about a year, when I sold it because I listened to an ex-boyfriend...I should have listened to my heart.
About two months ago, I saw an ad for a Peugeot 206 cc, 1.6 litre, in Silwer at Inspecta Car Menlyn. My dream car went from "spark" to "flame" in my head. It took about a month before I finally decided, and after all the paperwork was done I was driving my dream car again.
Many of my colleagues, especially the men, can't understand that I am "Peugeot Passionate" and that you can give me all the money in the world to buy a car with, I will still buy myself the Peugeot 206 cc 1.6...my dream car! |
