Yup! In the last 3 years it\'s probably happened about 3 times in total, meaning it\'s pink 93.6% of the time, but I took the BX to the first show in ages yesterday on the seafront along with a mate\'s recently acquired Alfa 75:
I didn\'t actually get to drive it down there, I had the black thing on the end (promotion for work believe it or not!)
Good day though, will probably bring it to Stratford before I retire it for a while.
Not so good is the latest purchase:
Still....we need the room, it was cheap and to be fair it does the job pretty bloody well!

My cousin had one when they were quite old, quick yes, but awful torque steer and not good to drive.
Myparents had the MG Montego EFi, which cross country was actually quicker than the Turbo version due to the latter's lag. It was reliable enough but bits fell off on a regular basis, and the insurance eventually got ridiculous.
Later a mate bought a Maestro 2.0 Turbo, which was a real rocket, out dragging anything short of a supercar so long as you didn't want to go round corners! It fell apart too eventually

A year passes - same show again. I have actually polished once before this year for the wedding, so that's twice for 2012. Gets worse each time!
Happily my mate Si applied some of that Autoglym HD wax as he was bored so hopefully it'll last longer than 3 weeks this time!
And now for some beading:
Yes....beading on the 16v!! Enjoy it while it lasts car:
Still have Picarshole too. Remapped the HDi beast though - no dyno results yet, but with the EGR removed, decat and remap it's sound more like a locomotive and less like a Picasso, so happy days!

He won best in class. I forgot to circle the 'no' on the "do you wish to enter judging?" section and was also judged. I came runner up. There were only us two in the class.
