You dont have to be THAT careful, just sensible really.
Our little (well, expanding) group have taken deckers all over the country without sat nav's and forward planning.
Infact, if you're a bloody good driver you'd be amazed where you actually can get a bus!

Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!
Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

What if the BX had been given the GSX treatment? Black 'Sports' interior. Lightweight, with a small, perky engine. Avant-garde colour. Cheeky advertising...
The St. Tropez? The Sport? The GT?
Not quite the same.
So, given it might cost £3800+ to get a neat GSX why not buy a black (easier to re-colour) 14TGE/16Meteor/GTi, pay to have it fixed up, resprayed in orange, ruby red, yellow whatever, and have some fun! And although (VITALLY) it's not original or indeed authentic it's still a laff. And an homage to what might've been...
Car £325. Work £425. Paint £1100. Stuff £100. Total: £1950. Still 'pricey' but for a unique 'statement' BX with a bit of a 'attitude', it'd be a more useable day-to-day ride than a precious (sacrosanct) 35-year old GSX...
Just a thought!

If I could indulge myself to that extent (a bit like taking a good chunk of annual salary, and leaving it in a bag in a lock up), I would've kept my Ph. 2 16v. Which incidentally was over 50% cheaper even after all the work I did.
No, it's really for someone with much deeper pockets and a suitable garage to keep it in. As well as someone with the time to enjoy it.
It doesn't help that I've just forked out £3.5k on a new Mac etc.
Head ruling heart, this time. (Unless something like a windfall crops up!)
