You have to like that.  Every country has its two originals but these
appear to be more attractive than most.

 BF> Thoose birds ain't silent.

They actually can be.  And most Frenchmen aren't silent either.

 BF> Oh gosh......And you still want another one.

Or something like it.  Peugeot does not sell cars in North America anymore.

 BF> I guess you never opend the hood on that 204.

I most certainly did.  I even had a shop manual.

They do that, like the fan belt that goes around corners.:-)  But they
worked on this car.  I'd put over 225,000 km on it in 4 years and it still
wasn't burning any oil.

Take care,
