Some BXs

[vulgalour]

Spotted this a little while ago in Chesterfield. First one I'd seen out in the wild in a few years, the last one being a graphite one in Folkingham.



You can see my Princess lurking in the background too.

Actually, I tell a lie. I did see a couple others since seeing the Folkingham car. They were both heading down the M1 at a fair old clip. Have to take my word for it that the first one was a red one.


The second was a silver one.


Couldn't keep up with them in my housemate's little 3 cylinder Peugeot

Two vey well known Members cars there

The white TXD is owned by Matthew Mullen aka mulley and the Silver 17TGD by Paul Handley aka paul296!

That would be me! Where was the pic taken? It must have been taken quite a while ago as I've now removed the tow-bar ( or rather Mr. Matthew Mullen of Chesterfield has! ) and the TGD trims have been replaced with alloys. . .



(P.S. thanks for providing me with an excuse to post another a pic of my car - like I needed one! )

edit; the red one might have been Tim in his TZD - I can't remember convoying with any other red BX and it would explain why I was driving unreasonably quickly: to keep up with bloody 'gas happy'

A 17TGD is renowned for its powerful presence on the UK's highways and byways!!

Indeed it is Mark, indeed it is. Infact shortly after that pic was taken I remember I encountered an example of that well known lawn mower on wheels; the Bugatti Veyron . . . left it for dust (obviously )

The TXD will be mine, must have been sometime last year, i hardly ever park at that spot.

I'm impressed with the picture of the 17TGD actually in the middle lane doing some overtaking, haha

[Paul296]

^ Shut your fat gob you cheeky get (tbh, ha ha) . . . as we say in Newark.

Ah yes! Thats the day we collected the TGD from Ken's over a year ago!

It certainly was. That was the very first time I drove that car; saved from the crusher by 48 hours (and me of course!). Then it was still a 'death trap' with a (very) rusty inner wing and the pedal box was an accident waiting to happen. How things have changed; that car got lucky when I turned up at Kens with 300 quid in my pocket.

AND the lack of power steering has turned me from a nine stone ( ) weakling to a man with arms like Popeye on steroids!
