Humph. Don't know what's worse - the ridiculous BX or the hateful comments about BXs by numpties.

Re: errr....very odd
I did always think the Bx would make a good amphibious motor !!! Not sure about the colour though a bit to much thunderbirds are go.

Re: errr....very odd
Could lead neatly to a discussion about the 'AmphiBX' (as suggested by certain fellows on the Challenge
) How would you do it? There's no doubting it would look the part - there's always been something boaty about the BX IMHO.

What on earth are 'Barry Boys'? I've heard about (from a friend) ladyboys. Anything similar?

No Mark. Not similar at all.mds141 wrote:What on earth are 'Barry Boys'? I've heard about (from a friend) ladyboys. Anything similar?
Let's be perfectly honest . . . it's truly hideous. Having said that it does have a sort of eccentric charm and a 'f*** you' attitude that I feel quite sympathetic to.
As to the poor old 'Barry Boys'; come on chaps it's rude to mock the afflicted . . . not big and not clever. Anyway, when the authorities discover they've been breaking the terms and conditions of their ASBOs by fooling around on the internet - they're gonna' be in BIG trouble.

Re: errr....very odd
Is it actually meant to be amphibious? I can only assume they are bespoke parts or off the shelf units made to fit? It beggars belief! Although, there is a hint of DS about it on the front end...............

Re: errr....very odd
I have to say I love the colour, but then I've always had a thing about really bright yellow cars. As for all that bumper stuff going on, it does look hideous but it might save that lovely paint from a few scratches, unless it was parked outside my house and the local toerags would just key it for looking anything other than "normal".
