Dreams & Research.



You suddenly got this idea to buy this V6 Lion, Lion with a powerful powertrain, a brand new Peugeot or one particular Lion. You got so excited that you began to ask around or check online for other people’s opinion on that Lion. Then you probably started getting unexpected feedback how nightmare that Animal you are interested in would be for you if you venture in. They try to prove to you with figures, facts, logics or proofs of how right they were about that Lion. Then your excitement suddenly drops. You felt so powerless that you could no longer

Peugeots: Motivation or Inspirations?


   
                            


Motivation demands effort, while Inspiration is ease.


Motivation is putting up with something to make something work, even if you find the subject or process uncomfortable. It’s like being pushed. Probably because you learnt that the process or subject will help you get there or have that, even if you have to work very hard or struggle to do that, which could leave you unhappy while in it. But you continue to put up

COMMENT FROM A PEUGEOT RCZ R OWNER - 10/05/2016



"The R is very economical. The most economical petrol engined RCZ. As for the power, mine is used everyday to commute to and from work (6 miles each way in town driving) as well as journeys further afield. It's easy to drive the R like any other RCZ. It will happily just cruise along at 30 without any problems. Only if you put your foot hard to the throttle and get the revs above 3000 will you start to feel the turbo really kick in and launch you. The R also has a very nice feature where it will crawl along in traffic at 7mph without the need for any feet on the pedals. It's actually perfect for rush hour crawling traffic. So my conclusion is that you should go for the R everytime 'wink'"
                                                                                                                           
                                                                                                                      - Kez.

Why?

People watching me or taking interest in what I do have been asking, "Why V6 Lions? Why are you so passionate or love your Lions that much? Is there much difference between these Peugeots aggressively designed with high power and the conventional ones?"

Words don't usually express how you really feel about a subject, because words you speak don't usually express what you really mean. What you mean is really how you feel and its quite hard for anyone outside you to really know exactly how you feel.

However, this is my answer to all the above questions: There is a difference between fun and happiness. Happiness is a state of being, while fun is in the moment. When I sit behind my aggressively designed powerful Peugeots steering wheels and geared them into quick actions, the thrill of pleasure I get in those moments is what makes the difference. The powers and overall characters they posses are there for me to choose moments of fun or just be happy.


Ikenna, Lion King.

Vampire!


                                                                         
There is a belief in the world of existence of what is known as Vampire(s). There are, however, different beliefs of what Vampires were/are and how they operate. One of the beliefs that has something in common with other beliefs of vampires is that Vampires look like humans or humans not alive anymore, that feed on human blood to exist. They go around, lure people, suck their blood and turn them into vampires and they go out and do the same, and so it continues. Of course, majority of people don’t believe Vampires exist

Appreciation of Peugeot 504 GL: Personal Experience.

Sometime in 1980-1981, my father, Sir Samuel E. Udeagwu, travelled from katsina town to Kaduna (the then Kaduna state), in his 4 years old immaculate white Peugeot 504 GL he acquired brand new in 1976. On his way back to Katsina (his family), he picked up his dear friend’s wife at Kaduna, who was with her about 1 year old baby girl, to drop her to her family at katsina, as a favor to his friend

Why Bother?

How other people think of you, what you do, what you have or what makes you happy is irrelevant. What is relevant is how YOU FEEL about you, what you do, what you have or what makes you happy. When you allow the world to define or point out to you what should make you happy or rely on others happiness to be happy, you die a miserable man. But when you stop giving a damn about other peoples opinion and start choosing your happiness irrespective of how others think of it, you will be forever a happy man. And of course, some will still hate you for being happy. So, why really bother?


Ikenna, Lion King.

Comment from a Peugeot 508 GT Owner

So here's my thoughts as a new 508 owner.
First off, I bought this car without ever sitting in one, let alone driving it! Crazy maybe? Well I did plenty of reading beforehand and it was almost all good. I am also a firm believer in the adage that "if it looks right, it is right"...

You Create Your Reality


You were probably programmed or taught from childhood to face facts, the reality. And the belief was, there is only one reality which everyone lives in or experiences. Or you were taught others shape the reality you live in. Most especially, you were programmed to focus so much on negative things or facts
