Oh. Yeah Hertz often have Fiat :(
Hope you liked your trip in France. I never went to Japan but I would 
really love to go, when I will have more money ;)

Yeah, I really like this car ^_^

It's a very important car in Peugeot history because it is the 
confirmation of the "renewal" they began with the 205. The most 
interesting point is that with the 205, Peugeot managed to come back 
from some very difficult years. They even did more in coming back 
"aggressively" on the sport side with the same 205 and 405 in the 
"Paris Dakar" especialy and Pikes Peak race.
Since then, when PSA sport (Peugeot and Citroen) put cars in a race, 
they almost always have the winner's car ;)

205 - Rally Paris Dakar
405 - Rally Paris Dakar
405 - Pikes Peak
905 - 24 heures du mans
ZX - Rally Paris Dakar
306 - World Rally Championship
206 - World Rally Championship
307 - World Rally Championship
Xsara - World Rally championship
etc...

> You seems to be a huge Anime fan, don't you? :)

Mhhh I like animation very much and I have to say that, when you like 
animation, Japanese anime have some masterpiece ^_^,

I have to admit all japanese anime aren't the same quality, but it's 
like in all productions, among the quantity you have a small part of 
extremly good quality. ^_^

My dream would be to make an anime, I'm writing a story and drawing the 
characters, it's a long story so it will take me some time. "Le Temps 
des Dieux" (Time of Gods, it's the name of the story, with a little 
website only in french for now: http://tog.wooe.org/ ) is mostly about 
gods, mortals and believing matters. It will be a long story and a 
purpose to talk about all the excess of the religions, the way some 
mortals use the religions and the gods to deserve their own purpose.

I don't know if I will finish it or succeed in making the anime out of 
it, but it's a very important work to me, so I keep writing... ^_^,

mmmh I think it wasn't the initial subject :D

talking about car, my favourite chara designer, Mr Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, 
like cars too and is often drawing some on his artbook or in anime he 
draws for (especially Alfa Romeo and Citroen)

Sebastien - sorry for his really bad, bad english ^_^,
