After skirting the torrential rains that have been gracing the DFW area for the last few months now we got caught in the tail end of one of those systems. When there is a lot of rain before a cars and coffee weekend the dealership can not park their cars on the grass. The message “There will be limited parking available” keeps most of the old cars home, and with it also the crowds that usually grace the grounds.

But, one should always prepare for the unexpected. After shooting a nice vintage 6 series BMW my eyes turned towards the exit I usually never film at. In view came a blocky shape. A hatchback. A shape I haven’t seen in so long. My heart skipped a beat as I saw that little red car turn towards that wretched exit.

A Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9! I can’t remember the last time I did the 100 yard dash, but it happened there. I sprinted over and talked briefly with the owner. More like “I am a blabbering out of breath idiot, I love these cars and I am not worthy” I promptly spoke to the stewards that keep everyone away from the street and excused myself as I posted myself on the corner to capture the best hot hatch of all time drive off. What a glorious little car! The funny thing was that I had been reminiscing about my love for Peugeot before the event because I am about to go back to the Netherlands for a two week vacation. I had the same wheels on my Silver Peugeot 405. 15" speedline... One of the best looking wheels I have ever seen.

The Subaru and Evolution crowd was real, The Aventador was accessible so I got some shots of that and I got up close to a Ferrari 488 GTB for the first time (what nice lines) and towards the end there was an R34 that drove by. No matter the weather, it is always awesome to be out. And, the best thing next to the 205?: I never had so many people tell me they enjoyed my videos. It made my day.

Apparently! The guy is clearly winning the hot hatch game right now!

Agreed. I own two sets; on the 205 CTi and on the 406 coupe (winter wheels). Not on the 205 GTi though, that one has the correct 14"pepper pot wheels.

Where (and when) are you going in the Netherlands? Go to the correct region and you might be able to have a spin in mine.

Didn’t the CTi come with those pepper pot wheels too from factory? Anyway, your 205 GTi is the 1.6 then correct? Still a very awesome car! As is the 406 coupe, arguably the last GREAT looking Peugeot (don’t tell me it’s a V6 M/T Pack...). I am going to be there from pretty much June 13th till the 23rd. It is a vacation though, but I plan on filming at least one car review if I can manage it in between trips trough the country. I will be staying in the Maurik area!

Oh yeah man! I share most of my car related videos on here. I always get awesome comments and I love what others have to say and post on here. You get to see some pretty interesting car related stuff on this site! And thank you for watching them! I enjoy making them so there will be plenty more to come!

I live in Groningen (city), so if you want to film a car review with one of my cars you know where to find me.

Correct about the CTi, it too should have pepper pots as, like my GTi, it’s the 1.6. I bought it with speedlines though, and am not going to change these.

The 406 is a 2.0 M/T non-pack with red leather. It’s my DD/workhorse.

I believe the last two great looking Peugeots were sold side by side. It might be my strong Pininfarina bias though.

How do people find out when Cars and Coffee is?

It’s always on the same day! The first Saturday of every month at Classic BMW in Plano, TX! From 7am to roughly 10:30am. If you want to show you’d better be there before 7 if the weather is good. Otherwise you’ll have to park in the spectator area!

Groningen City! Been there once a long time ago! It’s a bit of a daytrip to get up there from Maurik so I’ll probably won’t make it up there. If my goal was filming car reviews I’d be up there for sure though! Bummer really... I would have loved to review that 205 GTi!

And you are right about the 306, it is such a sharp looking car. The fact that they had that sweet 2.0 with the 6 speed... The GTi6!
