[bigbadjoe]

No mate. Was just havin a laugh with you.

They are good cars the 405.

 

[turbonutter69]

:blink: Are they?
I had an 405 Sri years ago that my cousin helpfully wrote off for me by rolling it on a single track country lane.
Rolled te car around 5 or 6 times and it ejected him out the car and into a hedge.
By the way he was wearing a seatbelt.

[bigbadjoe]

No. No they are not. I was thinking of the 406 with the D engine.

My bad.

Yeah, sorry, they are bad. Inside, out, handling, everything.

No likey. Sorry to raise hopes.

 

[turbonutter69]

I do actually like them for some reason.
Lets just say the handling is a little interesting at times.

 

[bigbadjoe]

An old mates family from back home has always had pug's. I remember when they bought the 405 brand new, and I was just a kid, and remembering how bad the inside was!! lol

 

[turbonutter69]

Just like alot of cars from that era though isn''t it.
IMO Austin/Rover where the worst for rubbish interiors.

What interiors!

Can you remember the Mk 1 golf? Nothing. Nothing at all on the inside. Thats why they seemed bigger inside!

 

[turbonutter69]

Yep never liked any Golf interiors. They just look sooooooooo borin and plasticy.

I think we are going way off topic here, this is not a thread about how much we like the 405!

 

[turbonutter69]

I blame BBJ. :embarrest:

 

[bigbadjoe]

I blame.............

Yeah, your right. It is me.

A thread that stays on topic on this forum is rarer than trying to get a straight answer to a question from a politician!

 

[turbonutter69]

Off topic us????






Never.

Well I gotta say these 2 pugs are the first French cars I've owned .. so far the DL has been good to me I've driven it back n fourth from work approx 50 miles a day..considering it sat 10 years . I've owned from hondas to chevys to bmw . I gotta say the pug handles pretty good even @ 80 mph . I think for any car that was in the 91 era where a little rough !

 

[obi_waynne]

We nearly brought one of these ourselves only the guy selling it was asking for far too much money.

Well I'm a fan of the old Peugeots,

I can suggest some nice mods for the MI16 but most of the part you'll have to import though as they aren't avaliable over there.
