Well back to normality, well kinda, in my new house that is, which is at least twice as big as the last one, BX's fit down the drive (just) but the garage is wider than before so no worries of damaging door edges, plus the loft is boarded out and has a inbuilt ladder and lighting!!!
Cars are parked up now really until new year, mind you Ive got LOTS of DIY to do as the last guy made a real hash of it!

Heres the other.
I just noticed that the BX police car I bought a few weeks back (from a VW show) is actually a Mk1!.
PS I'm not showing off with the bx awards, thats where they always live.

Re: TIMS BX BLOG
Said display cabinet has now been moved to the "BX Office" aka the small bedroom complete with posters, brochures etc, when my internet is working at home (sometime over xmas im told) I will be writing my bxclusives from there (apologies for the lack of content in Decembers, I did write it but the editor says he never received it, which is twice now and very frustrating!)
Theres certainly room in the loft for an interior or two....

Re: TIMS BX BLOG
Mended, I now have lights, a new comfy bed, keys to enter said house but as yet ive not had a night in to relax and enjoy my new surroundings!
I have next week off to start decorating and getting the place as I want it, new oven to fit and get some blinds that fit!
BX's are tucked away until new year, off to Skeggy Sunday to strip the red shed and then off to Andy "mothmans" a week today to deliver his bits! Not much of a holiday then!
