thats the best looking red BX i've seen in a while maybe bar Richard's 16 pilot he recently sold. Which i could have bought and saved myself a whole bunch of money getting mine up to scratch. Gotta fund the cause though right? That's why we're here.

I'm surprised that one of your sons hasn't taken on that BX Neil....

"the old CX"

I trust it will be gracing the National Rally again this year

I'm hoping so. Despite only living 10 minutes away, I've yet to see CGAT (or Neil) in the flesh... weird eh?

If you blink you would probably miss it!

Anyway that TGD looks lovely, pop those bumper inserts off, bit of wet and dry and some satin black would do wonders!

That CX is something else. A few modifications!

I've seen that a few times, i'm looking forward to the day that Neil offers to take me for a spin, i want to know how quick she is
