august Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 hahah yeah i'm not sure what was going on with the blue car. i think some people have speculated the suspension isn't the correct TURBO shocks + struts + springs, or its extremley worn out and virutally out of fluid. regardless, they are great video's. I can't tell you how hard i laughed the first time i saw em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
505T Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Considering how long it took to get 505 videos on the internet, the videos are gold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni Lindroos Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I would really like to see some original 505 racing videos from the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 @ maxlee: Welcome. By coincidence I saw a 7-seater 505GTI in England on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.nl/1987-PEUGEOT-505-GTI-FA...1QQcmdZViewItem Maybe not your first choice, but a GTI break is very rare.

brownie Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 In Finland many of breaks are just GTI 7 seat versions V-M In Holland the GTI is a rare model. The Dutch don't like to spend much money. People who needed a sevenseater in those days could choose between a Volvo or a Peugeot 505. For economical reasons most people chose a 505 GL or GLD. SR, SRD, GTDT and GTI breaks are very rare in Holland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V-M Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 One reason is at they did use those 7 seated for Taxi's here and usually those where best diesel versions they could have. Gasoline versions vere usually ordered and used one religion group which have usually many kids. So thats basic reason they are (where) used here.

Toni Lindroos Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Actually, there was also a special 8+1 seat version which had an extra "seat" between the front seats. ;-) It's sad that the 505 was the last "real wagon" from Peugeot which truly had enough (?) space for passengers and cargo. 406 Grand Wagon was not quite as big, if I remember correctly and the new 407 SW isn't very spacious at all...
