It was going towards Bromsgrove on the A38. Unfortunately I was in the Hyundai company car so I couldnt wave! Looked very nice.

HAHA. No seriosly, it is built like Lego actually. Its always so refreshing to get back in a BX. Its the Coupe one. For some reason its got masive orange indicators. The reveiws I see are all positive, but its not a patch on a BX. The power steering is the real killer. Its almost a fixed centering force right from 5MPH to top speed, no matter how fast you are going round a corner. Technically, it corners faster than anything else ive ever driven, but its no fun, and on high speed slip roads, it goes round so fast that you just think, "I shouldnt be able to do this". The silly thing is, it would just take fractions more force to turn the wheel even more, which makes it feel a little dodgy. At least with a BX or a 2CV you run out of mussle before it starts to go beyond its limits.

*Anorak alert* Here`s something you may not have known (and probably couldn`t care less about either!): the Hy-and-dry Coupe is (or was) the best selling coupe in the world.
