No one wants an old Renault.

Collector was liquidating his collection within the Peugeot club. There is another opponaut who benefitted from this deal as well. I’ll wait till he speaks up to reveal who and what. He helped me out a lot on this deal so I gave him one

I still need to come Maining, since I didn’t do so last year like I thought I might. It would probably make more sense for me to rent than drive the Benz, though - I think I’ve got the driveshaft a spline or two out of step and it rumbles...

More than ever you should. Starting to get deep into the old parts section of our house now...also I heard you got roses Lincoln. Thank you

I couldn’t let Rose’s Lincoln go somewhere it might get parted. Ain’t many Peacock Green Metallic 19ft barges out there.

Wait, you’re in Maine? I thought you were in Europe.

Do you know Arlo Cota? He has run AutoSport here in Burlington VT for years and specializes in Peugeots and other French cars. He used to do all the work on my Grandfathers and Fathers Renaults back in the 80s.

Same way I felt about Big Pink...

Nope nothing I know of. Since there isn’t a way to get from maine to vt in a direct route, I don’t know many people there anymore. At least since my great aunt sold the camp in morgan

Figured it might be a bit of a hike. They don’t advertise the Peugeots on their site but they have a couple of 505s and 405s right now.

The recovery was the stuff of legend. Midnight work in the rain and mud going left-right-left-right on winches and come-alongs (which kept breaking), followed by a Ram pickup electrical system going Full Retard and stranding us in a WVA 24 hour Wal Mart waiting for dawn and for the batteries to charge. I need to describe it in detail to you once I have two-three beers or ciders in me.

Yes. This must happen.

I didn’t know you were in Burlington. I grew up in Williston. I miss the area, but I imagine it has changed a lot in the interceding decades.

I am at UVM. My father grew up in Hinesburg.

Neat. I lived in Hinesburg for a year or so when I was an infant, then moved to Williston after my dad got a teaching gig at UVM.

Damnit, I really want a 505 now. No idea what I’d do with a 5th Peugeot, but that’s a moot point.

Can you still get parts for that engine. It must be very rare. 3 of my Peugeots are from the 80s as well, but they all come with far more common engines, not that orphaned Simca lump.

Good stuff. How have you been lately
