spotted on the A38 by J13 M5

Post by citsncycles »

Red BX (valver I think) with yellow headlights at about 5:40 tonight. I was on the motorbike being blown round the roundabout!

Was that Doc I saw?

that would have been me again yes, it's not actually a valver though! The clouds of smoke should give it away! ;)
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...

Ah yes, I has at Adrian's Thursday (finally picked up that wing, thanks very much), and he told me all about that car - the smoke must have been blown away by the same gust I was fighting.

welcome on the wing front, I'd never have used it, sadly it does have a slight find in the front edge, but I reckon it'll tap out.
It was rather windy yes, didn't notice a motorbike, but you're a braver man than I!

I saw 2 BX's yesterday in Stroud. One a 19TGD estate, and the other a beige break heading for the M5. Aint seen any around for ages, and then 2 on the same day, failed to see either you or TMB though!

Stroud seems a strong area for BX. I have bought several from there and seen more. Probably a good dealer around there. Round here all is Pugs due to Fish's Garage in town. Out of touch now but always tried to give good service. Citroen meant travelling and several folk were not complimentary about the Swindon dealer. There are several Xantias locally but not much else on the road. I will probably be so surprised on seeing a BX I will miss reacting.

Long established dealer in Stroud means lots of Citroens, then with the Westons keeping most of the older models on the road for those owners without the time or skills means they last a bit longer round here too.
