sounds good to me 
well.... I should move there then ????  :P

I think this is what customer are looking for... 
they don't mind to spend money... at least the problem are fixed..
and customer also understand what their problems are....

Well... we really have to move to japan then... :P
do you still have some parts such as parts for 504 or 505 ???
or none have them yet ??? 
I hear that there are still some original parts for 504 or 505 
sold in indonesian authorized Peugeot dealer - Astra.
should you have any problems with parts for older model, 
we probably could help you to contact to Astra.

OK thanks for your information.
anyway, remember that I told you about the Indonesian peugeot gathering 
that was held on october 4 - 5 this year. It will be air on MetroTV channel
(indonesian TV channel), too bad you guys can't watch them.
but, I was trying to get the copied CD from the MetroTV station.
As soon as  I got one, I will send it to you... 
so you guys can also watch peugeot events happening in Indonesia.
how bout that ??

Thanks
