:shock: Blimey Kev, that lot will have Rich worried as it looks as though you've been in rural France, hiding in the bushes behind his house. ;)

I love the uncompromised bonkersness of the Peugeot 202's design, but imagine how awful the car would be to drive in the dark. Would I still adopt one? Of course, but I might just fashion a means by which the grille could open and the lamps could move forward just enough to make their output more usable. ;)

It felt like I was in France John!
The 202 was absolutely superb and very 2CV like inside to be honest, If i go past there tonight I will take some more pics of the detail.

Please do! A forum can't have too much Peugeot 202 content. Or indeed too much of any content relating to similarly styled Peugeots from days of old. Unless of course the forum in question is the Retired Greyhound one, where a fondness for ancient, French cars isn't really necessary. :|

I need this:

It's a Ford. This means that some day, someone will find it in a barn and flog it on eBay for several quintillion pounds. 8-)

I have a 2000 2.0 ghia as my spare daily. its 15 years old, 140,000 miles on the clock and it still drives well plus it has never let me down.
You get an awful lot of car for your money with a mk1 focus.
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.
