My new TZD Turbo! - Update 09/03/07: New Wheels!

Post by capri »

Hi guys,

Well, after a month's searching, I've finally picked up my new BX. I've taken a few photos to celebrate the occasion!

I have to say to Gareth - thank you for a magnificent car, for all the spare parts, and for your unending hospitality. I got home safely (although it took me 8 hours thanks to roadworks on the A34), and the car performed faultlessly all the way. It really is a cracking example. Thanks so much; she will be treasured!

Anyway, to the pics!

I should be seeing this in the flesh shortly :D

Where did you go for the pics mate, the ones by the water? Looks like it must be near Hamble Swanwick or something?

Diggin' the racing sunstrip too :lol:

Ironic number plate, it gives the car a name.....URJ= Urge 8)

You just had an urge to get one

One thing I HAVE to get my oar in on.....we HAVE to find you some new wheeltrims :lol: They look like they belong on an Escort

Cracking looking car matey. Agree with Kitch though, forget wheeltrims, Speedline alloys!

I'm honoured, I just had a go in it.

Drives well, very quiet and tight. About as good as tizzydee's get really.

It looks like Thunderbird 2 though; the front end heigh corrector needs adjusting :lol: Rides well but sticks up at the front and blinds people coming the other way at night!

Lovely colour though, very straight car. Except the spoiler, which looks like a fat lass has sat on it.

NEWSFLASH: Outbrakes Lexus IS200's too.

Overall, a big thumbs up! :D

That looks very nice Capri...rekon thats the same colour as my 16v! I do agree on the wheel trim issue...go for originals or as Doc says a set of speedlines. When you coming over then? :wink:

Wheres the aerial? If its snapped off get a new base and mast from GSF, there a easy fit but you have to remove the sunroof control panel and need a I think a 10mml long reach socket

BX aerial bases are nearly all 8mm nuts..
Although long reach is indeed required.. Missus!! :lol:

Nice car. Wonderful views of the New Forest, and the Hamble oil terminal which is where your supermarket fuel is landed.
