RE: Brand loyalty: £250K on 23 Peugeots
Discussion
most policemen round my way spend their time knicking motorists on minor offences and not arresting big hairy blokes

Yes, and it pays for a service you need, I'E to live a society were some big hairy bloke can't come round to your house, throw your skinny arse out and shut the door in your face, and then live there happily until and even bigger and more hairy bloke does the same to him etc etc
It might come from your tax, but its his money, that he has earned, you only get to earn your money because you live in a lawful society which he is paid to enforce the rules of

So he bought all these cars off the dealer, no doubt he also services these cars there, including MOTs and tyres etc and the guy clearly has some screws missing. 250k is only the beginning, no doubt its a lot more than that.
As for him being paid too much, thats 23 cars for 4 people over 22 years. Not really that many is it? Im guessing his sister (wife) works and the kids do too to support their fathers pug habit.

Not sure if I should laugh or cry, almost any other marque & I could understand. The garage was having laugh by rewarding him with a test in an RCZ for a weekend. I've known people who are in the market for a car and get demo cars for the weekend who promptly put 4 figures on the clock! The least they could have given him was an RCZ as a freebie lease for a year. On the otherhand like any industry local customers get the **ss taken out of them while new ones are treated like royalty.
king hell my local Pug dealer and where I bought my 207 GTi. Great dealer and I would reccomend them to anyone!

Honestly I wouldnt drive ANY peugeot ever (not even a free one). Certainly not from the last 10 years....they are all awful, the RCZ included. Too slow and is just a 308 in a posh frock. 
oh and as for this poor unfortunate chap.....
I hope they find him the cure soon.
There is no cure for Pugs or their owners.oh and as for this poor unfortunate chap.....

Why all the Peugeot hate? He started with a 205 dturbo, decided to trade up to a 205 1.6 Gti. After being spanked off the lights by a 5 GT turbo, he drives straight to the dealer and signs up for a 1.9 gti. Kids multiply, more space required. A 405 Mi16 is ordered, and paid for in cash, no questions asked. Meanwhile, the wife get a job in Chelmsford, needs a decent ride, a 306 dturbo is ordered. Revelling in her new found independence, she starts to explore the back roads home and decides that really a 306 gti6 would be better. She turns out to be quite a wheelman so a 306 rallye is ordered and used for occasional trackdays. Finally, she enters into stock hatch, they use the lump out if the 406 in the 306 for a but of mi16 poke. First outing she tanks it, 2 new cars are required. They decide to go back to basics, he gets a great deal on a mk1 106 rallye, she hangs on for the mk2 version. Time passes and he hankers after done GT luxury and signs up for a 406 v6 coupe, while keeping the 106 for the weekend. Add in assorted 106's for offspring etc and you are at 250k and change...Not a dud insight...

Does seem a little strange but if he can afford it an he is happy then thats up to him. Peugeot's aren't that terrible really, nobody died from owning one, he probably likes the whole purchasing experience and gets treated well by the dealership, why you would buy so many I don't know but it sounds like he did the purchasing for his family who were also happy with driving a Peugeot.
The gift sounds a bit mean, really they should have just not said anything, I dont get a party thrown for me by Tesco and I have spent a fair bit there, but Peugeot are like all mainstream manufacturers going through tough times so I guess the money isnt there to give cars away.
Sort of beg to differ on that one.The gift sounds a bit mean, really they should have just not said anything, I dont get a party thrown for me by Tesco and I have spent a fair bit there, but Peugeot are like all mainstream manufacturers going through tough times so I guess the money isnt there to give cars away.
Stick with my Range Rover I think
