MEET THE PEUGEOT FANS OF INSTAGRAM 

Did you know that the first known social network is...50,000 years old? In prehistoric Africa, people thousands of kilometres apart were already interacting with each other using jewellery made from ostrich eggshells.

Today, social networks are now a must: Instagram has almost 1.2 billion users worldwide and the average time spent on the network is about 10 hours per month.

For fans of all stripes, enthusiasts of all kinds, Instagram is THE place to show off your bubbling enthusiasm to as many people as possible.

PEUGEOT fans are no exception. Many Instagram accounts are exclusively dedicated to the Lion.

So who are these PEUGEOT enthusiasts? How do they manage their accounts and what is their relationship with their subscribers? What advice do they have on how to show off their PEUGEOT online? To find out a little more, we went to meet them.

Hello ! My name is Céline, I am 45 years old. I am married and I have 3 children (future Peugeot fans? Yes!!). I live in the Hauts de France region and I work in the social field.

I have always been passionate about beautiful cars. I fell in love with Peugeot in 2013, when I bought my first 208 GTI: it was love at first sight! I then opted for its big sister: the 308 GTI.

I have a real cult following for my Peugeot cars: I love to maintain them, pamper them and photograph them from all angles.

My Instagram account

 

That's why I created an Instagram account: it's while looking for where to post all my pictures that I got the idea to create this nice account @misspeugeot308.

I can share and exchange tips: washing, photos, nice places, etc. There's nothing like Instagram to meet other car fans and Peugeot fans in particular! On Instagram, I'm often teased about my parking habits (I admit it's not my speciality!) and I have to confess that I play around a bit sometimes.

My photographic advice
 

I use my phone exclusively for my photos. I find that the prettiest photos are often those taken at random from a cloud, an uncertain weather, a season ....

I want my photos to be simple, natural, without retouching or filters. In the end, it suits me: maybe I am a bit like that!

A little anecdote for the road?
 

I have never filled up my cars with petrol! This makes many people laugh, but I assure you it's true!

My name is Tomasz, I live in Poland in a small town near Krakow. I am passionate about motorization and I love to tinker with my car in my workshop. Initially, I am a computer scientist by profession but I don't work in this field. Currently I work in the steel industry.

I discovered Peugeot thanks to an accident! My car was damaged and I needed a new car quickly to cover my daily commute. My brother had a Peugeot and suggested that I take an interest in this brand. After a week, I was hooked! I bought a 406 and since then, I have never wanted to change brands. It's been almost 8 years.

My Instagram account
 

I created an Instagram account because I wanted to showcase my car to others, while also getting the motivation I need to work on my car. Each of my followers is a real source of energy for me.

I make it a point to respond to everyone's comments and posts as I feel it is a legitimate sign of respect for the person who took the time to address me. I also try to post content regularly so that followers have something to look at.

My photo tips for a successful post on Instagram

 

When I photograph cars, I always pay attention to the light first. You have to find a place that is neither too sunny nor too dark. The time of day is also important: for example, photos taken at dusk are often too dark, even if the light is beautiful.

A little anecdote for the road?

 

As I belong to a "Peugeot 406" club, we sometimes get unusual requests, such as getting as many 406s as possible to escort a wedding or finding spare parts to repair a 406 in less than an hour. Finally, I realise that Peugeot is not just a brand but really a community of people.

I am 32 years old, I have a family and I live in the south-west of France, in the Gers to be precise. I have always loved driving! I used to be an ambulance driver and now I am a delivery driver.

When I was a child, our family car was the 607. I still remember its comfort, style and elegance. I loved this big luxury saloon car "à la française". I think my attachment and interest in Peugeot comes from that time.

My Instagram account

 

As a 607 lover, I created my Instagram account to share my passion and meet other fans of the 607 but also of other Peugeot models, all over the world. My followers comment on my photos, we also exchange advice or remarks on all Peugeot models.

My photo tips for a successful post on Instagram

 

To be successful in my Instagram photos, I try to choose the best possible angle. With experience, I think you should take the car from 3/4 rear or front. For me, that's the best way to get the best look because you can see the whole car.

I don't have any particular anecdote to tell but simply a real pleasure to exchange with my subscribers.
