    HAHAHAHAHA. Peugeot = Junk. At least in the mid 80's. Hauled quite a few of them to Hertz at Logan Airpt. Boston out of Port Newark. They had a metal ring under the rocker panel in front of the rear tire as a tie down. What hunks of crap.

    You're not kiddin ! A few years back a guy at Manheim came over to me .. said he had 3 of em .. how do they tie down ? Well, said I, use straps on the wheels .. you'll have better luck with Michelin's rubber then Peugeots sheet metal and 'nose' rings.

    Here ya go:

    Nissan Rouges fuse box in North America has gouges around it. Not transit related. Apparently someone, off the boat, is using a screwdriver to pop open the fuse box to put the fuse/breaker back into transit mode. Gouges around the plastic. FYI

    Plastic and painted Super Duty bumpers (front) are showing jig damage, 4 inches outboard of the license plate, towards the back edge of the lower opening. Everything from scuffs to gouges.

    Watch the inner circumference of 19.5 wheels on the outside of dualies.

    ?? - Hidden damage ? As in 'not transport related' .... or what is it ? Dirty ? How so ? 30 % ?? 30% 'to have damage' (what ?). Speaking for most, I think we appreciate your post, but it's a teeny bit confusing. Tks. Chip.
