I agree wholeheartedly, and I think our common bond
is the appreciation of Peugeot automobiles. We don't
need to split hairs as both the European and USA
versions are both attractive in their own way. But
your remarks about the wreck results reminded me of
a post a few weeks ago where someone had asked if
someone knew the gauge of steel used in Peugeots;
and
I don't know exactly, but Peugeot is a steel maker
and in their brochures they stated that they used
their own steel and it was the heaviest of any car
made. I don't know if that's still true; but I would
think it is-remember, in 1810 I think it was,Peugeot
developed the method for cold rolling steel. And I
hope you all possess one of their earlier productsone
of the best pepper grinders made. I'm sure most
women are not still wearing bustle skirts which
Peugeot made the frames for as they also made
umbrella frames. Besides their vehichles, we must
never forget what a great company they are.
