WTF, **Cayuga** , **Hypnagogic Jerk** and **MikeG** , all you guys speak French and have access to French tv?

P.S: There’s almost no chance in hell the 64 number is linked to a department for its celebrity status (maybe some designers of the car are from there, who knows). Probably related to something else. I’ve never understood the Peugeot numbering system.
