Trivia
Pub-quiz question: what's the connection between Peugeot and the Statue of Liberty?

One of the earliest Peugeot models was known as a Lion-Peugeot, which adopted the lion emblem of the city of Belfort, where it was made. Bartholdi, the sculptor responsible for the Statue of Liberty in New York, also takes credit for Belfort's Inn.

cheers to 19 NA and 61 turbo owners (put eusend in for god sake ). 80 is a good milestones

Hi fellow Pug 408 owners, beside the national made, the market have the Japanese brands, Korean, German, French, American. Are you ready for Brits brand MG coming to Malaysia especailly the same C segment model MG6.

I know it is off topic so forgive me if it intrudes. then we can talk it over at the dedicated thread for that

Sorry again if it intrudes

Molest! Molest! Yo bro. I suddenly see u in a different light Liao.

pls pm me your account no too, when do you need the deposit and how much, just let me know when you know it.

Thankful that you are taking a lead and is seeing it through.

Hi there, I own a 2.0 but there is not a day go by that I don't wonder how different it is going to be if i am driving a 1.6 turbo instead, honestly speaking.

But don't take this as 2.0 is a let down. It may not have the kind of rev of a turbo and responsiveness of a 6 speeder gb, but it is is very comfortable. so comfortable that and you tends not to feel the 'sportiness' of the car. Hell the handling makes me feel more uncle-like if truth to be told, but I don't mind coz I am an uncle by age, i am in my early 40.

It is a good alternative to any D segment 2.0 I will say that as much, I have been into Camry, accord, Teana, and the 2.0 drives a bit like that just the shorter nose allows you to make corners with lesser strains . Even if you want to leave segment Ds and just compare with other segment Cs, from NA to NA (2.0), 408 2.0 gives you the most comfortable ,and tuned to the most powerful setup , the performance is only dampened somewhat by the 4 speeder gb but that is ok 2 as most rivaling models offer a 4 or 5 speeder or CVT.

At the end of the day, it is really up to the individual , are you the type that stay forever young (in hearts and in spirit coz don't judge a book by any covers) , if so get a 1.6 Turbo.

or if you are like me, comfortable with real age, accepted the maturity that comes with age, and would like to take what people call 'calculated' risk. then get 2.0?absolutely !

if i can do it again i would probably tender for number like 1371, 2280, 4008 if you can't get 408, why?

1371 first 2 digits adds up is 1+3=4, 2nd and 3rd digits adds up is 3+7 =to 0, and 7+1 is 8, so it is 408

like wise for 2280, 4008 if you apply the same logic

just my sudden funny thought that comes out , inspired by SKY

if i read this correctly, then you are showing off ?

I have paid RM300 last Aug/Sep 2012 (inclusive 'runner fee' to my SA) for my current number which is a number with absolutely no significance.

408 hot number, I would think so least for all 408 owners.

May I ask if any one is having 408 as car plate no.? & Mind sharing what you have paid for it and at which JPJ?

RM250? that is a great price, IMHO, for number 408. I don't know, Always have the impression that it will be at least fought over by some 408 owners to be. I can be wrong though.

it will improve once the 1st 10,000km service is done, i had experienced the same high FC before the 10,000 service with my Pug 408 2.0.

ask bro Jfcheong to put u in the owner list. don't think u have been 'listed'

I can only speak of my experience. before 10k km service, I need to refill almost 2.5 to 3 times a week , no joke (at 20-25% fuel level remaining every time, my habit)

I have to succumbed to driving uncle slow-mo style at 90% of the time as I worked in the KL City Centre and stayed at Dutamas near Segambut area (both ways to and fo to work are jammed mostly. So my lion is 90% of the time crawling due to traffic jam from Monday to Friday.

Roughly my Monday to Friday is only clocking in about 150 km per week for travelling to and Fo between workplace and home, then there is the evening driving and weekend driving, at most another 100km and since I also travel out of office once to twice weekly to visit clients in other parts of Klang valley, that will add another 100km to 150 km +or- a week (AGAIN, DRIVING UNCLE STYLE st 30% of the time TO GET IN & OUT OF KL CITY+HIGHWAY Style 70%)

In total my km per a typical week, is then 350km to 400 km.

To avoid confusion , i have not included in the calculation the outstation travel to Johor-Malacca and Ipoh-Penang (for work) that happens at most once every alternate months. For me, those kind of travelling is separately accounted as they are of 'ad hoc' basis.

After 10k km service, in a typical week described above, with the same distance and driving style, now I only visit the petrol station only 2 times a week (the same refill when it reach 20-25% remaining level). So FC has indeed improved, but the actual 'x' L/100km for me is always high due the kind of driving constraints that my pug needs to put up with.

For most, I think we can verified that the 1st 10k km actual cost is as stated the above, with 2.0 slightly cheaper, my 2.0 1st 10k km service was only RM300.xx. By now some early owners have oredi done the 20k km service, was the cost <500? for 1.6 T

Any 2.0 owners having done 20k km service or beyond, and if so, mind sharing what is the cost?

Too late to apologize....is a nice song

That makes sense, really, thanks

So Folks !
Without knowing who and how reputable the supplier is, we are asked to take another leap of faith (by placing RM135 first).

But I think this, Rich. If I turned out a sucker/turkey to put my faith in you and whoever the supplier is, I will be in a gang of suckers/turkeys of the brave 19 (see if can become 20, any more BRAVE SOULS here?), so with that in mind, just pm me your account number , bank , in name of Richard LIm XX, when you need it.

p/s i CAN LOOSE MORE THAN RM135 in minutes, when I visit the other LIM, the Famous Uncle Lim

, I am merely stating the fact that we can be viewed as foolish to trust strangers, but it is a calculated risk to take. Better odds than Uncle Lim

Hope you don't get me wrong, I am with you all the way, BRO

GOOD brave soul, turned out you are the one that we have been right here waiting for.
