BX now on ebay

That's more like it!!

I had a BX GTi 8v many years ago, and I quite liked it.

Seems to be a lot of love for the car. Even Lordy likes it :)

Feel free to start bidding - I need money to pay for the fixing of the other one :)

In news: snipped-for-privacy@mid.individual.net, Carl Gibbs wittered on forthwith;

I've got my lovely Golfs, the Merc is undergoing reconstructive surgery, I've got a Jensen Interceptor convertible I need to fix (not mine, but I can use it), use of an MX5 and Bentley Turbo R along with a multitude of other insane projects [1] either lurking about or on the way. I don't need a bleedin' BX as well - but if I did I'd be bidding.

Oh, is anyone here interested possibly in my gorgeous Mk1 Golf GTi? Y reg, black, 1.8, restored, 170k miles, completely original spec, only VW bits used, will have 12 months MOT, £1750 o.n.o?

I'll get some pics up when I take it for the MOT later this week (probably)

[1] Barkas B1000 should be in the UK late May, and a Tatra T603 around August.

Groan... I think everyone here has missed my point.

You had one?

You're right, everyone did, especially me it would appear.

Do you think that the misunderstanding is everyone else's problem, or a problem with how you tried to make the point?

What's the point of having a Cossie if you don't...

I nearly bought one off a guy at work, about 8 years ago I think. It looked ok in the carpark but when you started to look properly it was a real shitbox :(

We've discussed this. news:erutgj$i2m$ snipped-for-privacy@registered.motzarella.org

Shame you're in Southampton, I wouldn't mind those Mi16 alloys...

Unfortunately for you, the car fits into the "it was nice to own then, wouldn't want one now" category.

Nice seats BTW.

Everything after the comma is superfluous.

Damn! For me it fits in the "not old enough to drive then, so I'll have one (or 2) now" catergory ;)

Thanks

Heh, I have no problem with the BX, I am a child of the 90's after all.

One of my mates worked at a Citro=EBn main dealer, he was always bringing= =20 home a different piece of plastic fantastic every night, AX's, BX's,=20 Xantias, XMs, etc, etc. I was driving a Metro 1.0 at the time, so stuff=20 like the newly launched Xantia seemed pretty 'exotic' back then. We used=20 to rag the f*ck out of them at night then drop them back at the dealer=20 ready for the customers to pick them up.

Would you like to borrow mine & Dan's shovel ?

Hey pete - want another 190?

You're right, I should have been more clear, I would class the BX (which I love) in the same mould as the Sierra, Cavalier, Audi 80 and BMW 5 series, basicly I see it as a saloon car with a hatch :-)

Not really. The one I've got is a nice one, other than the knackered head gasket. That should be sorted this week - maybe next, then I'll be flogging it anyway.

Need wedge for a few things, like setting up in another country..
