[Mgs] The wrong side of the road

[Aeseeyou at aol.com]

I had a 504 Peugeot that was really a strong car with just the right  
amounts of luxury and drivability [sic?] But, it had the turn signals and  the 
windshield wiper post reversed from the usual (as in American) location. As  
long as I remembered the difference fine but if I was thinking about  
something else I'd turn on the wipers or pull on the high beam lights when I  went 
to turn. or turn on the turn signal when I wanted to  use the windscreen 
wiper. But it was a Diesel and that was before  diesel became more expensive 
than gasoline. And it gave incredible  mileage!
Then a deal came up where I could get a 505 Turbo Diesel for an incredibly  
low price. It was a beautiful car  and it was really fast compared to  the 
504. Plus the turn signals and wipers were where they should be! I drove  
that car for a long time without a problem. I finally gave both the 504 and  
the 505 Turbo to a self help group. The only complaint I had about them was  
they leaked so I couldn't leave them out in the rain. I always carried a  
big sheet of clear plastic just in case it started raining when the car was  
parked outside. But the 505 had really comfortable seats covered in a suede 
like  synthetic material. But being a diesel it didn't have any tachometer 
(It  didn't have a distributor)
