start your engines: Bonnets are lifted to compare Michael's
96bhp XN1 powerplant with my 79bhp XM7 motor

Immaculate
304 Coupé is a very rare sight these days, and a very nice
one, too

A
stop at the gas station gives the chance to marvel at this
line-up of great classic PEUGEOTS and take some photos
|
|
Not
too much cars this time, but all friends (except Lorenzo) are
there. Also the weather was fine, making it a great day
|
|
Cars
ranging from 203 to 403, 404, 504, 505, and even a swedish 104
can be spotted in this row |
|
And
even more 504 Berlines. But Michael Semmler is thinking about
buying a 404, I wonder?
|
|
The
504 Berline is a real beauty, just look at their rear ends...
Pininfarina did a great job! |

This
battered 1978 504 TI Automatique was once owned by Regisseur
Tom Tykwer ("Run Lola Run", and is kept on the street
by its current owner Bernd Lemke.
|
|
Bernd
still found some small items lost by Tykwer, when repairing and
cleaning the car. I do not like any of Tykwer's films, and neither
do I like the way he treated this poor 504 |

The
orange colour fits the 504 well. Michael and Lars can be seen
having a look under the bonnet of another 504
|
|
This
beauty has been resprayed recently. Note
sunroof visor in matching colour |
|
Battered
PEUGEOT 504 TI shows extra air-intakes, making it a 1977 model,
and the twin-headlight set-up of 1976 TI's
|
|
I'll
need a 403 Berline someday. Definitly. Judgeing by the front grille,
this a LUXE or SEPT model |

Immo
Schwarze, the Löwendoctor,
came with his fantastic PEUGEOT 404 Hearse. It took Immo lots
of efforts to restore this unique 404 model

The
day after the meeting, Michael, Lars, Karen and I used the sunny
weather for a long testdrive, to compare our 504s. We had great
fun on our day out
