Red is bad. Red fades.

I've scrapped two olymic blue BX's..
And sold one a few weeks back.

I like the red,or in my case pink.

Black's good too, as is Triton Green.
Aw to hell with it, all the colours of the rainbow are good!

I spotted an Olympic Blue BX14 ( power that throws you back in the seat) here at a garage in very good condition, some special edition. So hop on a flight Tim, have yourself a holiday and crooze at high speed across the continent.

Red, does fade beautifully to all manner of pinks. I had a rat 2CV in several shade of dusty pink. When are we going to see the first rat BX - looking as though it's just risen up out of a field and hammering down the autobahn with lumps of moss flying off it?

Doc if you get another olympic blue one and its a half decent one please let me know!

Ive owned a 14 toddao and as a good a car as they are I prefer bx with gizmos on!

Mine looked pretty much like that when I picked it up but it up, instead the clumps of moss were clumps of mud from the farm it had lived at for he past year...poor thing.

Mine is a bit like that. It still has gaffer-tape glue around the sunroof, a fair bit of the paint is peeling from the bumpers, the body is various shades of dirty white, and it's usually got several layers of road grime on it.

Still drives fine, and just passed an MOT so can't be all bad!

Too late mate, I've already sold it to a friend of Chris Salter's!

Why do I ALWAYS mistype that as Christ?

Great find! A waste though, maybe it should be put on a plinth?

It'd be better still put on the back of my truck and weighed in!

Billy are you coming this saturday now to fetch it?

cavmad · Post by **cavmad** » Mon Jan 07, 2008 6:48 pm

All being well, yes. However as said Tim if someone else wants it then please let them take it as problems at home are not getting much better and don't want to make you false promises ref. collection.

Ok no worries then, right so does anyone want a FREE perfectly serviceable, quiet reliable BX? Surely someone must find a use for it

Still available!
