Hi,

This just in, I've heard it on the radio @6PM (local time), 4PM GMT :
Peugeot announced its intention to take part to the mythic Le Mans 24 race
in 2007, with a new Diesel-powered car. All I know is the car should have a
particle filter.
Knowing what Peugeot guys are able of, could well announce some nice racing
!

Regards,
G.T

Indeed ? I've heard of poor painting if built in UK, is that true ? Just
'cause my parents' '02 206 is badly painted, damn they even spray better @
renault's !
And BTW, they don't build 307s in Ryton, according to the PSA's annual
report for yr 2003, published in 2004.

Hi Mark,

Sorry, I certainly took it the same way, with Keith writing he hopes the
next Pug LM prototype isn't based on the 307 (T5) and Jeff adding UK-built
Pugs were different from France-built ones, I guess I was led wrong.

Have a nice evening :-)

i know i know
basically anything built in the uk peugeot plant has a history of being
built badly
i have been there i have seen the staff
oh yes i'm sure as anywhere else quite a few are competent
but in this game you all end up tarred with the same brush
i get the same working at a main dealer
we have 20 techs
5 are complete arses
therefore we all are :-(

Really ?

Right. That's the principle of collective liability, or pack of buffalos,
the fastest cannot run faster than the slower.

So surely, survival of the fittest. Get rid of the 5 arses! It worked
where I am.

I was disapointed to see that the Taurus Sports Lola with the
Volkswagen V10 diesel wasn't refined a bit for this year. One of it's
major problems was too much torque; it was gearbox failure that led to
their retirement last year.

Perhaps VW Audi put their oar in and stopped them using the V10 as
they allegedly have plans for a Le Mans diesel of their own.
