Default New Owner of 308 THP 200 from South Africa

Hi Fellow Peugeotions

I am the onwer of an underrated, highly criticized beast that I truly adore. I have joined this forum to escape the "Veedub" craze where I reside and anything French dispised even though my vehicle is classier and faster!!!

I will post pics soon.

In SA it is called the GT(with a red "I"), it is just such a fantastic drive. It is not a car designed for robot racing like your VW's and Opel's. It gets going in 3rd, and when it does it packs a punch. A little thirsty at the pumps if you hammer it, but cruising sips with respect. The RSA is a fantastic country, plagued with unnecesary mumbo jumbo...the media is our biggest enemy. I have the Cielo Roof but it almost always closed due to the heat, @ night it is quite awesome looking through it...The engine note is beautiful...

Default Goodbye my GTI

Woah..it has been a while since I posted but so much happened. The GTI's turbo went..and the rest just started to break down. It took Peugeot close to 2 months to resolve the cars problems, thankfully I had a courtesy vehicle (Peugeot 3008). When they finally contacted me to collect my vehicle I told them to keep it and provide me with a 3008 instead. I took delivery of my brand new 3008 on Friday...
So now I have a Hurrican Grey 3008 1.6 THP...
