[Rant] This thread seems to have got all too personal... the fact is its an old car, in extremely good condition which was an icon of its era, and is purely for those facts alone very cool, even though I have voiced my opinion about it, I don't care. People can factor in any opinon they like about its design, detailing, build, ride or what ever they like, the fact is that whatever it is, be it American, British, Italian, Japanese or maybe, just maybe at a push even (bloody) French it still demands a degree of respect and admiration.
If I see old cars, kit cars, cool cars, fancy cars whatever on the road while i'm driving I look, admire & 'nod approvingly' at the owners regardless of what it is because I appreciate the effort people put into keeping these things running & "shiny side up" I don't care what it is or where its come from, hell even some modified, maybe even chaved, modern cars are cool so long as they're tastefully done. Yeah sure some of them are a bit ugly IMO or not to my taste but i'm blowed if i'm going to force that on other people.
Philo loves his new Alpha, and we all take the piss, but behind it all its still a nice car, not to my personal taste but he still has a passion for a hobby that we all share in.
I like seeing the Peugeot club at the Fancott every month, they bring their cars & have a laugh the same as we do, and given 1/2 a chance i'd buy the Dark Blue 306 off one of the guys there.
Bottom line, its a wicked car, for 101 different reasons that differ between every person that looks at it. [/Rant]
