The flyer that Jim prepared announcing this year's Fall Car & Motorcycle Meet in memory of his late wife Pam. Pam introduced Jim to Peugeots shortly after they were married in 1971 and, as they say, "...the rest is history!"
| Friends and family gathered at the Le Petit Cafe on Friday night. Patrick and Marina, the owners, are the only other known Peugeot owners in Bloomington, Indiana

It looks like Jim's brother-in-law Herb is ready to go for a drive

| Jim's 2000 406 coupe flanked by the 1960 403 station wagon. Quite a contrast of Peugeot designs over the years, don't you think?

| I forgot to take a picture of my 84 604 GTD. This picture was taken at a earlier meet at Jim's. This car made the 1500 mile round trip from Richmond, VA to Bloomington, IN with no issues at all, again this year.

| The 'dueling banjo' skeletons found a place to sit on the (full-size) Allis Chalmers WD. They played whenever someone got too close to them... until we 'pulled the plug' to keep them quiet for a while!!
| Brian and Malory checking out the 1950 Allis Chalmers WD, as the 1966 404 cabriolet injection sits on the top level

These Peugeots and the Allis Chalmers stayed inside for the day
| A view from the house showing some of the participating vehicles and people. The weather was beautiful all day!
