Talking B____X

Lol!

Well, it drives well, is extremely practical and not (in my view) bad looking for a van.

BUT a BX Diesel estate has proved too hard to resist...

So it'll be up for sale soon. If anyone fancies an 2 to 8-seat bus for less than a grand, let me know.

I should be running a sweepstake on how long you keep your cars for, sorry mate, i just find it really funny....

I can't say anything except: what would you rather have? A Synergie.... or a BX diesel estate?

But I admit. It's crazy. And I'm picking up a GS next Saturday!

Oh, and sweepsatake? Good idea, because I keep my cars for an average of 11 months. The current GTi has survived 31 months....

A sad, hopeless, case.

This is the BX as it was a while back. It's been thoroughly well kept since but used very little, so it's pretty much like this apparently. I'll report back in a couple of weeks when I drive it away

PS Arm bearings OK... (I think the pic suggests lean, but there isn't).

And no promises, but I'd be mad not to keep this one for more than a few months, Mulley

Anyway, each to their own; indulge my eccentricities

Looks nice. I can't say anything about keeping cars for a short time. My Land Rover has lasted two months!

Thanks. I think you need to update your signature Ian?....

They're both still here at the moment. Give me a week and it'll all be very different!

and there was me thinking BX's didn't come along til 84 in England!

That's a plate from a dead GSA apparently... the BX will be on a 'K' plate...

If you ever want to sell those alloys bear me in mind,

Now, Tim, why would want to sell them? They look groovy. (But you know me... you've got first dibs

)

Erm, are those alloys the friendly size or the barsteward variety? Does look nice in those piccies....
