I'm a Mercedes man myself. 420 SEL as a matter of fact. BTW, do the
French
make cars?

Clap, clap, clap. Brilliant. Really hilarious.


Thank you! Thank you very much! You are too kind. Really!


No need to thank me. It's always a pleasure (not to mention a duty) to
assist people with problems (and believe me, a superiority complex *is* a
problem) and bring a little bit of information to people who obviously lack
some. That's the way we are, we cheese-eating surrendering monkeys. That is,
when we have time between a weapon delivery to one of the last remaining
dictators (but there are fewer and fewer because of you and it takes a lot
of time in a 2CV as the one on your picture), a pogrom down the streets of
Paris or a US flag burning meeting... There are just seven days in a week,
you know?...
What am I saying? Of course you know that, even if the week is not an
American invention... Err, you knew that? I mean, that time was not invented
by an American?... Yes, probably...

Seriously, you guys are pathetic with your clichés...


I'm just pleased I could bring a little joy into your drap and dreary

French life!

LOL! Man, you have no idea. Well, I just wish you the life I have...

Now, I can't wait for the Al Minyard's "Words of Wisdom" about French cars
being utter crap or France being an enemy... :-)

Cheers from Paris,
Arva

Great thread. WRT French cars being "utter crap," the first car I ever
rode in was a wonderful 1958 Peugeot 403 sedan. Dad bought it used
from some enlisted man on base (Elemendorf) when he was flying
F-102's in Alaska.

He liked the Peugeot so much that he had it shipped from Anchorage
down to Seattle when the Air Force transferred us to Charleston,
South Carolina (assigned to the 444th FIS flying F-101's) in 1963.
I was three years old.

In Seattle, he packed his three boys (aged three, four and five!),
his wife, and whatever household belongings he could fit in the
Peugeot (anything that wouldn't fit inside he tied down on the
roof) and then proceeded to drive that diminutive French car
3,000 miles from Seattle all the way down to Charleston. Amazing.

And there's never been a more cool television character than Inspector
Colombo with his loyal Bassett hound and his beloved 1959 Peugeot
Cabriolet convertible.

3000 miles? At one time? In a Peugeot?

That is amazing!

I thought it was a Hillman. Could be wrong, of course.
