Yeah, it's a whole different world for those filthy rich. About 10 years ago the original company folded, so someone who was having a motorhome built thought "Sod it, I'll just buy the company and get it finished". So he did but kept it going. However for some reason there doesn't seem to be enough people willing to blow stupid sums of money on a motorhome so they're branching out into other stuff - making two mobile chemotherapy units at the moment, which makes a lot of sense in rural areas.

Back to CXs, I wonder how many of us have a BX because a decent CX is out of reach? I do, although indirectly. My Dad wanted a CX when I was growing up, but couldn't afford it so settled for a BX. So for me it's a way to relive my childhood (not that I've ever really grown up).

I only got my cx because the 19 TRS was too small when Jemma
(number 4 ) was due.
lovely car only issues were the throttle pedal snapped and after a couple of years the coils started playing up

If there's a DS-Basis I bet they're loaded :)

That looks great - nice 'shopping :)

All you've got to do is remove that bit of wheel arch dangling between the rear wheels and tidy that top edge up, and that'd be very convincing.

I'd love a Loadrunner - totally impractical, but great otherwise :)

I rather like that! Infact I think the roof looks cool as beans as is!
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...
