Spotting a BX is getting a very rare thing.

I hardly see as many as I used to. I would say that I see 1 on my drive to work, about 1 in 20 times that I drive to work, and its sometimes the same one. One thing that gets me is that you hardly ever see them on the motorway.

Mike your right too, you dont see many cars on the same plate as BX's are anyway. Its amzing how quickly the Mk1 Mondeo populated our roads in the mid 90's, and now you rarely see them.

It would be interesting to know what car is mostly represented on the uk roads from the BX era.
One car that remains in good numbers on the road is the pug 205, a car similar in age and price to the BX at the time.

What about some jap cars of that age? nissan sunnys and honda accords seem to plod on forever.

Yes agree, even see a few Nissan Bluebirds now and again.

Can't believe it, seen a BX today. ON THE ROAD

a TZD estate heading east on the M62 near Ferrybridge.

It must be Christmas.

I still see a few around, I followed a K reg white tizzydee hatch back down the main road near my house yesterday and someone in the ind est next door runs around in a red version of the same car.

And theres still that awesome looking F reg GTi on my rounds in Waterlooville. Very clean car that, and a rare colour.

I saw my first BX in ages at ASDA Eastleigh this afternoon. It was a dark gray 14TGE reg G155 xxx . Anyone on here ?

Think I've seen that one there before, a youngish lad drives it IIRC

I thought the driver looked middle aged but I didn't really get a good look. I felt sure it must have been someone from the forum. I was delighted to see one, I just don't seem to see them much any more.

Drive through Boyatt Wood, you'll see three and they're all quite rare ones too

You're much closer to me than I realised. Boyatt Wood is my nearest B&Q and Halfords. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled in future.

I could probably throw a stone from my house and hit B&Q

Mind you, none of them are on the road at the moment, the 16v is under a cover, the GT is in the garage and the estate is sometimes here, sometimes in Winchester, which it is currently.

Oh and the black 16v is in Bitterne

and there is a decent estate in Bitterne Park

I'm afraid mine looks a bit weather-beaten these days but it's still just as reliable as ever even after 14 years of ownership. It was around this time of year just before Christmas in 1992 when I bought it. I thought I would just have her for a few years but she just seems to go on and on. It was the first car I ever owned so it's got a certain sentimental value for me.
