Hole in the boot floor might worry some. How big?

Oh, by the way, if your other half doesn't like it what can you do?

Maybe it's too much of a man's car?

Drive past her when she`s in the bus stop in the p*ssing rain, that`s what

Same thing here, My sisters kids wanted dropping off at school but their dad was working away, but they didn't want to be seen getting out of my mums old BX. Fair do's I suppose.

By Wednesday the old BX looked really good.

Going off topic. My daughter was ashamed being seen in a BX I'm sure. And the boys in her class did take the micky. Do I care? Does she care now? No, I've nutured a healthy disrespect in her for the £40,000 4x4 monsters that infest our streets and she has learned a perfectly understandable defiant attitude - proudly extolling the virtues of a 'classic old car' (well 'banger' if truth be told!)...

Hole in the boot floor is probably in fact the back floor - hatch shut face seem which seems to be a rust point. Bit fiddly to do nicely as it probably needs fitting back on to the'chassis' underneath and really means draining fuel and removing small tank.

Wonderful thing - snobbery - its what the car trade thrives on and why there's a good supply of chap BX for us.

I like the slip of the keystroke - 'chap' BX. True. A chap's car.

I must be the opposite then? My kids (and my U13`s football team) think my car rocks as the suspension is `pimped` apparantly
