We used to have a very 2nd hand Peugot 504 diesel. It had no probs with Oz roads and was a ripper to do long distances in. Like sitting in your lounge.

A girl I knew used to borrow her fathers 404??

Round shaped thing with 3 wheel nuts. On a Friday night we’d go to every servo in town and piss ourselves when the attendant sheepishly asked where the filler cap was…… who else but the French would hide it behind a taillight?

403 if it was rounded. 404 and some later models were a Pininfarina design. The coupés were pretty.
The American designers often hid the fuel cap.

The Peugeot diesel cars did a lot for what was at the time referred to as developing countries.

My oldest brother had a second-hand 404 in about 1976. It had a crank handle for starting the motor if you cared to do it that way. i tried it, once.

If you pressed down on the accelerator fully it went over-centre and stuck on WFO. Not very frightening as the motor was rather tired and there was plenty of time to put your foot under the pedal and lift it back up.

That photo reminds me of the two types of chewing gum we used to have as a kid, PK ( orange) and Juicy fruit ( yellow). Nice vibrant photo !

Ha! Know EXACTLY where you're coming from, Todd! Juicy Fruit was great for about 30 seconds until the sigar was gone ... at least the peppery thing with PK lasted a bit longer :D

Remember them well, Arrowmint was my favourite.

yeah I remember that, we were given gum as kids on long drives to see grandparents, normally a 10 hour drive in a MKII cortina with a vinyl roof, my parents thought it would keep us occupied, it did about as long as the juicy fruit flavour lasted. My sister used to get carsick, and that smell of Juicy fruit or Pk always appears in my memory when ever I am around vomit....
 
Another lime flavour.... I was out on the BMWobbleyou yesterday and bumped into Chris/Tim (sorry forgot) with this lovely 1200. Monyash, Peak District UK.
