BX legends
OK, we have experienced a lot in our BXs and some are remembered amongst us.
I suggest maybe a 'rogues gallery' of 'known/infamous' BXs.
Obviously I count ones that I have had (as they're the ones I know most about) but here are a few to get the ball rolling:
The Green Hornet.
'RLO'
Todd's yellow estate
Team 'Green Tiger's' estate
Tim's GT
'ELF'
The 'Ascot Valver'

I'm not sure my TRS Auto is a legend, but I think it's certainly passed though a few member's hands...
(sounds wrong, but I can't think how to make it sound better, so I'll leave it... )

It\'s touchedRoverman wrote:Kitch\'s 16v is a well documented car on here.
Suppose it has been through a fair bit over the years what with the blow-up, TV show, rebuilds etc.
I\'m probably one of the longer running 16v owners with the same car. It\'ll be 7 years this year. I must be mental!
I\'d nominate the estate. It hasn\'t been on the road for years now, but it packed more into a couple of years than most cars do in a lifetime

Seconded! A frozen example of the 80s. I love it.Dollywobbler wrote:Todd's TRD Mk1 is pretty legendary in my book, especially with the lovely accessories it wears.
