The Citroen BX is 30...

[messerschmitt owner]

yep - the standard tct pushes 147bhp and with a boost control thingie will push 180-90 without even trying!

Arty photo of my one venture into BX ownership; the first car that I ever bought new, and still fairly newish at the time of the photo:

Definitely the most comfortable car that I 've ever had

Saw this one today in Preston, clearly earning its living

Is that beige or dirty white?

 

HOW DARE YOU!! It's called IVORY, some people! Actually since the police the parking attendants and a plethora of MOT men can't get it right, i guess you can be let off this once.

 

 

Not the best picture, but yes, even the valver was Diesel!

 

 

2.1TD engine is crap. Your better of with a 1.7TD over boost, revvy, quick pick up, oodles of power, light engine. Unlike the 2.1td which is heavy, inefficiently and boring to drive. The 2.0TCT won't fit, well not without some serious work to the fire wall. I helped mock one up a long time ago (albeit we where looking at putting a 2.0TCT into a 4x4 GTi BX. Obviously it's not impossible, but it would be easier and quicker to turbo the Mi16 (soft turbo mind).

 

There is a nutter in the UK most of the way through putting a rotrex super charger on a valver, should be interesting!

Had a relative with a C-plate poverty spec one, and a neighbour who had a BX Leader. Cracking car, love these things

I loved driving both my BXs - but I was young, stupid and eventually skint so didn't keep either of them long.

 

B319YKO was a gold(ish...) mk1 16RS with the funky instruments, bought in the rain, in the dark, for cash, from a bloke in a pub car park near Crawley. Yeah, I know... A deserted M40 saw 120 on the fish's fart one early morning in 1990.

 

The exhaust fell off on the Chiswick flyover not long after, so it was part-exed (plus finance...) for D135BLT, a light blue 8v 19GTi which took a mate and me from Barnes to the Isle of Skye non-stop except for piss & petrol. It was bloody rapid and is the car in which I would undoubtedly have been spectacularly killed, had redundancy not forced me to sell at a huge loss after only six months and replace it with an eight-year-old Dyane.

 

Which I still have...

Neither Citroen nor Peugoet, this car is the perfect example of the mongrel. Peugeot could have never made such a happy-feeling or capable car, Citroen was heading off to places only populated by the mega-intelligensia by the time grey-suited Peugeot share holders were persuaded to buy their rival. I thoroughly enjoyed all of mine, yet usually hate Pugs quite passionately, unless they're a 305 diesel van.

In the olden days, Peugeot used to make some fine cars- stylish, capable and ultra-reliable (you see far more 504s/505s than old Mercs in Africa). However, they seem to have lost the plot in the last 15 years or so and they'd probably be bankrupt by now had it not been for their massive operations in China.
