It's fairly local, I've had them before (a porous blocked CX25DTR turbo2) so know what they're about but I'm going through the rose tinted spectacle phase with it. Please talk sense to me (apart from junk man, obviously. I know what you're going to say)

[Junkman]

I say you should have bought the HR Giger Edition.

[fred]

It a CX - I cant possibly talk you out of it, its a French high tempered woman - which will crush you 99% of the time, but you love her because on that 1 percent of occasions you will squee and scream and smile like a manic serial killer on acid

[Fabergé Greggs]

Flippin eck that needs bought! Some cars just defy rationalisation,.

[Inspector Morose]

If, and I do mean if, I go for it a certain Autoshite bike BX estate will become available for its next custodian.

Then you'll get even less discouragement!

[Ghosty]

Get on with it!

[Bear]

Flared arch S1 Athena... DIRAVI or not? I can't remember. I know non-DIRAVI CXs are like trifle without jelly or sprinkles. Or cream. Actually they're just custard with lumps of foam in.

 

Other than that, god, yes, buy it. I'll swap you a really practical Mercedes estate* for it when you get bored.

[Inspector Morose]

I think the Athena was at the bottom end of the range so non DIRAVI. Red wine consumed so I'll sleep on it till tomorrow. I'm sure* it'd make an ideal everyday car and is just the sporty type grand tourer that I was looking for.

FPB7 WY U NO POST COLLECSIAN TRED  YET?

[skattrd]

Please buy it so it can become another Autoshite bike and I can have a shot of ownership of a cx.

[purplebargeken]

So whats it like to drive then?

 

Buy it.

 

If you don't you will get an automatic ban from this forum for one week for each cc of the Citroen.

 

Will there be a raffle?

[Taff]

hasn't got THAT dashboard. Ahm oot

[billyboy406v6]

One of my dream cars, so buy it and post loads of pics, please,please !

[Angry Sheep]

[J-Rod]

DO NOT not buy it. 

[Lacquer Peel]

A similar predicament, I've seen an old French car in the classifieds, local and cheap, that suits my needs perfectly.

I will be killed if I buy it.

[fordperv]

You've come to the wrong place to get talked out of something that lovely.

[Jim Bell]

It hasn't got a Bosch pump.

 

Buy it.

[phil_lihp]

The only question is, have you bought it yet?  

[The Moog]

Buy it then lend it out to the single members of AS as the modern version of that pheromone spray.

 

What lady/gent could resist such magnificence? 

[Sloth in a bowl]

The question you should be asking is.

Is it comfortable enough to live in when SHMBO kicks me out the house for having bought it?

 

Personally I would finish the P4 and get that earning you some cash first.

[Inspector Morose]

Yes, but that's the sensible answer and the P4 is booked in for work come the closed season anyway. Fired an email to go and have a look at it at least. It's only Telford.

[Felly Magic]

When's the Kollekshun Fred? LOL

[babydriver]

It is more than comfortable to live in, I had a 2.2cx semi auto in the 80s and they are brill, Sleeping policemen had just come out then and I used to take them at 40 mph..............What bump? infact if I had the money I would pick an argument with SWMBO so I could sleep in it. Good luck.

 

Ps mine melted in a few short years so this one must be well looked after.

[Asimo]

Don't bother, hold out for a GS instead.

[Inspector Morose]

Just got an email back. It looks like it's already sold. BOO! HISS!

[Ghosty]

That's fine, there are cheaper ones around if you don't mid travelling.

[Six-cylinder]

CXs are great cars, find another one......

[Guest Breadvan72]

Buy that silver dizzer auto XM instead.
