Seen it, full of many many pimped Saxos and 206's with very large wheels and more speakers than a branch of halfrauds, hence why the bxc only went to the french car show once......chavtastic!!

Welcome to my world! When you're with a proper pro (rather than me...) you end up driving back and forth for ages.

Very interested, but it's never going to happen. Magazines rely on advertising and I don't think there are enough specialists or readers to make the sums work. An online, blog-like website on the other hand...

Yes, in a word! Todd I think the BX has finally come of age and is starting to attract the recognition it deserves. Vive le BX. ^^bx>

That LNA looks lovely. Especially the period alloys. Almost as nice as the 104 at the campsite on the Challenge.

But naturally everyone should still buy it in the shops! ;)

Mickey - that LNA is my mate's car. He's just bought a gorgeous Reynard metallic Allegro. He was also my co-driver on the BXagon Challenge so is quite mad.
