Pug back at LeMans 24

Hi,

This just in, I've heard it on the radio @6PM (local time), 4PM GMT :
Peugeot announced its intention to take part to the mythic Le Mans 24 race
in 2007, with a new Diesel-powered car. All I know is the car should have a
particle filter.
Knowing what Peugeot guys are able of, could well announce some nice racing
!

 

Not 307 based I hope.

 

think you will find that peugeot made in britain and peugeot made in france
differ somewhat
you get the picture?

 

I was disapointed to see that the Taurus Sports Lola with the
Volkswagen V10 diesel wasn't refined a bit for this year. One of it's
major problems was too much torque; it was gearbox failure that led to
their retirement last year.

Perhaps VW Audi put their oar in and stopped them using the V10 as
they allegedly have plans for a Le Mans diesel of their own.

 

Hi,

Indeed ? I've heard of poor painting if built in UK, is that true ? Just
'cause my parents' '02 206 is badly painted, damn they even spray better @
renault's !
And BTW, they don't build 307s in Ryton, according to the PSA's annual
report for yr 2003, published in 2004.

 

We have never said we build our 307's at ryton g.t. ??? all the best mark (p.
s. and never seen it in any mag saying otherwise!!)

 

Hi Mark,

Sorry, I certainly took it the same way, with Keith writing he hopes the
next Pug LM prototype isn't based on the 307 (T5) and Jeff adding UK-built
Pugs were different from France-built ones, I guess I was led wrong.

Have a nice evening

 

i know i know
basically anything built in the uk peugeot plant has a history of being
built badly
i have been there i have seen the staff
oh yes i'm sure as anywhere else quite a few are competent
but in this game you all end up tarred with the same brush
i get the same working at a main dealer
we have 20 techs
5 are complete arses
therefore we all are :-(

 

Hi,

Really ?

Right. That's the principle of collective liability, or pack of buffalos,
the fastest cannot run faster than the slower.

 

So surely, survival of the fittest. Get rid of the 5 arses! It worked
where I am.

 

manager has these five arses for 7 pound an hour
he likes the economy of it
