ErikBM - TZD - new member - new car

Post by Erikbm »

Hi All,
I am a new member, from OZ. Although we have our own great website in aussiefrogs, there aren't many BXs on there and certainly very few of the one that I have just bought from Trevor Lampre.

It has done 260,000 km and is in very good condition. The wheels are off a 16v. The paint is nice, but faded on the spoiler (our sun does that) and Trevor only got half way through installing the air-con before his back gave out.

The ride is lovely and soft and the engine is running nicely. It only cried a few green tears on Trevor's behalf recently, but I fixed them yesterday (low pressure return - old repair had split again).

The other oil stains on the paving (now added to by the BX) are from a Discovery, a Peugeot Mi16 (sold to buy the BX) and a Sirion.

Regards, ErikBM - Adelaide, South Australia

Welcome to the Club! Nice combination of model, colour and of course, Speedlines. Will you be looking to complete the a/c installation? 8)

Hello Erik and welcome! Your BX is looking good. Who actually imported it as I know that any form of diesel was rare in Oz? I should also think that A/C is quite necessary with your climate - especially if you get another summer like the recent one!

Thanks for the welcome. I will indeed be completing the air-con, although it will probably wait a few months before the urgency spurs me into action, as winter is now approaching here.

I don't know for sure, but I think it might be Brian Ross who did the importing. I believe it was around 97, but Trevor would know more, as I actually haven't met him.

Regards, Erik
