Linky linky

EDIT: Dammit! Why didn't that work? You'll just have to copy and paste.

SECOND EDIT: Nope. That didn't work either

pikey, i'm glad you like it i saw the flicker of doom aswell and thought the same never thought a bx could go sideways.

centre exhuasts on the green one is bit different.

stuart, thanks for adding the links i tried to copy and paste but obviously you have the knack

I would vote but I have no idea where the video is. Can anyone help by putting a link that works on here?

try this Phil
type in google video, then type in citroen BX, top video I think. 4 mins long. For some reason the link won't paste fully.

Thanks. I like to see a bunch of BXs doing that

Even though the guy in the red takes the wrong line all the time.

Makes me think again what a laff it would be to have a stripped out GTi as a track day road car...

There you go. If you type google in lower case that bloody stupid icon comes up and screws up the link.

Strange to go to the bother of taking your rear-view mirror off, then leave your windscreen wiper bang in the middle of the windscreen...

That yellow/green BX with the black bonnet is as barry as hell. Looks hideous IMO. The red one is either running with rubbish rear tyres, or half-flat rear tyres, as a BX should NEVER oversteer like that, no matter how hard you provoke it.

A bit of a laugh I guess, but none of them appear to be giving it some proper beans.

yeah didn't the sport look tight round them bends looked better than the green one. i didn't think bx's where supposed to oversteer like that probably cheap european tyres made in china

The link I posted never worked from my work PC but it does at home! Most likely a result of Jon's fiddling.

Apropos of that, Jon, can we please kill that google smiley? It's a word that's very likely to screw up posted links.

I've also noted a tendency for the troll one to appear in innocent words...
