Exercise caution with Peugeot 305's and steer clear of Peugeot 309's as you would steer clear of Mahindra's.

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

@Mkristo.

The 406 was a joy to ride and don't forget it was new. The suspension is unrivalled and the engine had serious poke. I was in sales so I hit the road all over the country at the slightest excuse. I felt really good. I don't remember if there was ever a time when anyone overtook me while riding that machine. Surely not until the day I lost my job and had to return the damn company car. I had not seen it coming. That was one seriously curved ball life threw at me. When it hit home that I was bila job and with a second new born baby I knew the s*** had hit the fan. I blamed it on the fact that I had read the booklet 'The Prayer of Jabez' and my ambitious prayer to God to expand my horizon had led to my loss of a job. I had not stolen or under performed,my Zimbabwean boss saw me as a threat and thus gave me the white farmer treatment. Anyway to cut a long story short,we had to start all over again from scratch and by God's grace I have managed to pull myself by my boot straps. I have never earned a salary from then though. I have created wealth to my satisfaction. But that's a story for any day. Sorry eli,for hijacking your thread,but I coundn't help it. It makes me laugh too,you know!

@Lyanne. Thanks for the compliment and the offer to be my publisher. I actually have some works but they have never seen the light of day.


Now a story about rocks in your car. In Luhya custom; should a vehicle carrying a coffin experience mechanical problems,the mourners will straight away say that the deceased has wekelead his/her heels down and does not want to go and be planted in shagz. The solution to this problem is to wekelea a small rock next to the coffin. You should not expect problems thereafter. If the problem persists,open the coffin and slide the stone beside the chap. Now I know why your Finchot toiled on like a beast of burden. It was the mawe!

Mine was a peugeot 305. I got it for the 21,000/- i spent in 1999 to fix the clutch and pressure plates that had made it get thrown away.

Going shaggs my bros had to take a matt as I had to carry 2 mechanics and a drum of water for cooling.

And as Lyanne says,whats up with peugeot doors? At one point all the doors were faulty except the passenger door.




Want to be a millionaire.... plant a million cabbages and sell them at a bob...

@pablo. Thanks man for that insightfully witty line about your bros hiking a mat while you laden your Phinjot with mecs and a drum of water. ROFLMAO!!!

Good people,

This thread reminds me of beautiful days gone by. My first car was a Toyota AE91. Those days the car salesman told me not to buy a moti with power windows or even an efi mechanism because they cannot be repaired. I bought one anyway.The next day i went down to Naks and you would want to imagine how the road was back then. So I took a buddy and the temperature guage would oscilate form hot to cold ( kumbe ni thermostat!).Having come from driving a Peugeot,I thought this thing was spoilt so I stopped by buy bottled water pretending that it was for drinking but then told my buddy abakishe moja just incase the moti overheated ( I was carrying my in-laws to be and you do not want to imagine the tension). I called her 'Monica'. When i decided to get rid of her,the power window failed and one time on Moi Avenue a choko came at me with s***** and said nipe pesa ama ni rushe hii kitu huko ndani I chucked like three sock... luckily the guy walked away... She was a good car .... Monica was good to me

@mkristo I too am fan of Peugeot. Actually i learnt to drive in a one. I love classiques and I am looking for a good 404 just to redo and enjoy on weekends just for old times sake! I think that was one of the most beautiful cars ever made..

@wendz....are you sure that 504 is not yours?

Datsun SSS.I bought it at 21K way back in 89.

@Se7en,

Is the MR2 a convertible?





Yombo dhier....!!

@ njunge nope,but its a 2 door with almost steel mabati's


if you can not be kind,at least have the decency to be vague

@ Pablo

LOL...pole sana. By the way I really like the suspension system of Pujo,it is of course not the best in the world,can't compare it to a Benz,but one thing it does is cos of the horrizantal rear shocks,the impact is spread out horrizantally as opposed to vertical. Other cars have their shocks fitted vertically which means that even though they absorb the road shock,the impact is still relayed vertically to the body of the car eg as in crossing over a bump. The buts of other cars are almost thrown up in the skys,but for Pujo the body too is carried over the bump,,thus the occupant feel less the impact.
