Mr Lobster Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Just needs a big red stripe to look like a half arsed A Team van. Nice pictures, Honda is nice, bet the guy at the BX house is popular with the neighbours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrogeezer Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Honda Z is an unbelievable spot....shame it is outside in the elements.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicsmith Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Honda Z is an unbelievable spot....shame it is outside in the elements..Seconded. Only time I`ve ever seen a picture of one on english plates.How come whenever you see a collection of dead examples of the same car it`s nearly always Citroen BXs? Rather than a half arsed A-team van, I think the CF should be made into a spectacularily half-arsed Only fools and horses van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Awesome stuff! Used to be at least one (but I think two) Honda Z models up someone's drive in Shrewsbury, Shropshire a few years back.CF needs a 'muriel' painting on it to complete the look. Probably some sort of spazzy white horse thing rearing up on it's back legs whilst being struck by lightning and some badly paint, long haired, dizzy blonde bint next to it.Whose are the BX's then, Jonkw's at a guess?

r.welfare Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 That is someone who belongs on here-give him a card Station Road, Thatcham, perchance? You beat me to them if it is! Although there is an even bigger, more secretive cache of old BXs in Kingsclere, must stick my camera over the fence and capture it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 On my commute I used to see a BX inside a decaying wooden garage. After a while the garage collapsed sideways in the wind so that the BX was holding it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratdat Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 There's a collosal hoard of BX's near me. I'd guess there's over 40 in there. There's a handful of GS and CX's too. From the air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
155V6 Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 CF needs a 'muriel' painting on it to complete the look.The CF looks as though it's got some sort of custom paint under the black,& it's just been sprayed over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Nice spottage.Im very much liking that white GS with the black vynl roof in amongst the huge BX hoard.Similar place near me, except its Volvo's, and another place, its Renaults.

Here's a hoard of BXs near me, totalled nearly 50 cars at one time, they've all been bailed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratdat Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Qwality pic! Where is that place and is that a Dodge 50 recovery truck I spy there?It's behind a place called Bullwinkles Garage at Baumber just west of Horncastle on the A158 in Lincolnshire. I just remembered another place which is just off a roundabout on the A17 heading down to Kings Lynn. This place is also full of dead BX's and as I recall a curiously high proportion of old Renault Master vans.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Cheers Rat. I'll have to make a beeline for that next time I go to Lincoln to visit the 'rents.Father Ted, is this a known one on BXC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompo Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Interesting that the Honda has it's number plate partly obscured?..I thought it could have been for some pics for a for sale advert, but the fact that it's got something cable-tied to it makes it look quite permanent?

Richard Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Maybe they covered the number for trailering to avoid getting hit by an ANPR camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
