Famous 406's

Post by turbolag »

I was watching Ronin t'other night when, lo and behold, Robert DeNiro jumps into a dark blue 406 D8 and thrashes it severely across Paris, showing some chick in an M5 what real driving in a real car is all about.

There were also a couple of 605's in the film, but they got comprehensively shot/blown up.

Anyone else spotted any 406s on stage or screen lately?

Apart from Ronin & Taxi, I couldn't think of any others.

So I decided to do a google search and came up with this page: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-Peug ... l-406.html

Mostly French films, but there are a few cameo appearances in such as Harry Potter & Eastenders.

DeNiro actually wanted a D9, so he could have one in Smarkand, but french law prohibits damaging an HDi in such a manner :lol:

Ah, that's why he had to settle for what was ultimately the second best colour! :cheesy:
