It is surprisingly comfortable in the rear of a BX I have been informed by several members of the female sex. My last Athena certainly saw some use by ...... no complaints....

I'd hate to think what types of people are attracted to owners of a BX, haha....Its not exactly a beautiful looking car. My nephew commented recently that my TXD was from the sixties because he thought that a car made in 1992 was old, he's 7 by the way, haha....

I've found driving a BX makes me absolutely irresistible to women - could be just me though. Thinking about it, it probably is.

I gave a lift to 3 young lady work colleagues two weeks ago and they just loved my car. They were blown away by the single wiper blade and loved the way the radio was ticked away out of view. They also appreciated the spacious boot and the big sunroof. The suspension was already at full height when they got in so I missed out on the "oooooohs" and "aaaaaahs" that would have brought forth.

Speaking as a member of the so-called fairer sex myself, I would be mightily attracted to a man with a BX, but only if he'd let me drive it.

You need to fix the spray bar then. Mine works fine.


...actually that's a lie. My car's on a hoist five feet in the air. Only Olympic-standard high jumpers and pole vaulters are likely to be successful, so that narrows the field significantly.

I think any ladies being given Timex to drive would rather run a mile!

As for attracting the ladies, the only vehicle I had any success with that way was the H van, but she turned out to be married (the lady, not the van!).

Since then, I've given up even trying :-({|=

When M and I got together I did explain my rather strange taste in french cars (and it was a case as they come as part of the deal), and that I had 5 of them (at that time), inroads have been made and last night we spent the evening swopping wheels round....of which was mentioned "I quite enjoyed that" even the rear wheels were a pain to get on in the half light
