1996 Peugeot 306. Everywhere once, haven’t seen one in ages. It’s an import, it’s unlikely to have survived that long here.

Looks like whoever painted the arrows on the road painted them the wrong way.

Looks right to me.

But we drive on the correct side of the road.

An old friend had a 1997 red five door Peugeot 306 diesel. She got a flat battery back in 2012 after it sat for two weeks. Got a jump start and went to a garage for a new battery and the garage didn’t want to replace it but put it on a tender as it was the original battery. Unfortunately the following year an idiot in a van (Transit crew cab) with his pregnant wife and two kids hit her head on under a bridge totalling her car and then told the police it was her fault. Lol.

I was in France last week, and they are still everywhere over there. In my native the Netherlands it’s still a common sight as well, although obviously not nearly as common as before.

They are not very sensitive to rust and are generally reliable, so it’s mostly neglect after being economically worthless for years that kills them.

France is like one big open air motor museum! The 205 is still everywhere.

And not just 205s, but 205s from the 1980s. They built those cars for 15 years, and 5+ million of them, but when I I see one in the Netherlands (which isn't uncommon) it’s a mid 90s one. In France, the 1980s ones are still frequent.

I paid special attention to 205s, as I was driving a 205 myself.
