Just remembered I saw a Peugeot 606 this morning. Never seen one before.

Que?

Do you perhaps mean a 605 or 607?

According to all sources Steve, Peugeot never made a 606 :-D

10,000 points for anyone who comes up with an undoctored picture of a Peugeot 606 from the world wide web :-D

I have looked and not found a reference for them, was going to have a look for it again but as Armadillo says, it is likely a wind up - the "606" being on the bonnet points in that direction.
None of the other photo's show any numbers on the bonnet.

9999 for taking part Mick, but but an undoctored, 100% doctored image, doesn't quite get the full 10,000 for me :-D

I'll take that thankyou very much!! It's 9998 more than I expected :-D In fact having banked them to ensure refunds are not possible perhaps you would like to join me this evening in the P.E. for a celebratory :beer: or two? :lol:

I guess he used the pickling vinegar used to have originally pickled some beetroot. That could impart an unusual flavour.
