Lovely looking car featured and nice to hear the complimentary Australian take on the BX.

Yes, I thought it was a reasonable read. Interestingly, I found it because on the same site, there is an equally good right ho for the 16v, the writer seemed to know what they were talking about.

If you type Citroen in the search box, there's quite a lot of cars that come up.

Summer is coming so no doubt you will be out and about showing your BX off 😀. I've just been too busy get mine out and I don't forsee it being any different. I have just bought 5L premium @ £7.50 for its exercises though.

Yes DKK will soon be hitting the tarmac, why only the other day I painted the wheel nuts to compliment the shiny alloys :D

An enjoyable read. It told me nothing that I don't already know but nevertheless I am a sucker for any BX porn.
Reliant three wheelers were plentiful when I was a lad and I always admired the Scimitar with its 3 litre engine. There were several fibreglass manufacturers at the time. The Gordon-Keeble was my favourite or maybe the Jensen-Healey
The Joy of BX with just one Citroën BX to my name now. Will I sing Bye Bye to my GTI or will it be Till death us do part.

The most menacing looking car I ever saw. It screams "Get out of my fx way!" in the rear view mirror like nothing else.
