New* Car Day!

[Timewaster]

Nissan and Renault not in the Car adverts though.

 

I'm going for a 405 Sri.

 

Not that I have actually seen one for a decade.

 

Edit: I remember that group test (I used to have a Mi16) and I think that is a 16v Bx therfore a Bx Gti is still a possibility.

[Jim Bell]

Spoiler. It's a car with a spoiler.

[JohnK]

Have a safe journey Gary!

 

[garycox]

60 miles in, fine so far! (Except that the bastard radio doesn't work)

 

Plenty more to go...

 

 

[BorniteIdentity]

Handsome devil.

[EssDeeWon]

Essex registered BX in black = Win.

[trigger]

Handsome devil.

And thats just Gary.

[barrett]

Why does everyone assume I have something to do with this sick scheme? As far as I remember I barely even encouraged him to buy it... oh, wait

[Angrydicky]

Essex registered BX in black = Win.

It's an Eastwood Motor Co car that lived locally until about five years ago. It was looked after by Steptoes in Shoebury.

[Captain Furious]

That's some epic collection mission

 

Good effort, my last was 170 miles each way and people I know thought that was slightly unhinged.

[skattrd]

Damn you Barrett, if it wasn't for you that BX would have been mine.

[Sealtainn]

That looks fantastic, cap doffed. Having also done a collection mission that involved 12hrs on a coach, I'll just say 'Never again'

23:27 - Cobham Services achieved.

 

Going well still (apart from starting/idling which is a bastard). Are all BX headlights really shit?

All BX headlights are indeed shit.

I would have developed an enduring and meaningful relationship with my BX 14 RE (bought from Dunsdale garage in JohnK's locale) if I hadn't broke it.  Being 22 at the time and therefore a twat, I blamed the car.

I'd love another one.

[garycox]

And so, a mere seventeen and a half hours after leaving, I have arrived back home.

 

This BX is pretty good. It has many issues of course, but each of them seem fairly minor.

 

[nigel bickle]

Nice buy old son. Miss mine still.

[Skizzer]

Well done for 1. surviving that long on a coach and 2. buying the BX.  I bet a sorted BX GTI is a properly fine cruiser.  

 

I can see this one becoming another AS bike.

[barrett]

rear height adjusters are set up incorrectly, it won't idle properly and various bits of the interior are loose/missing. Otherwise I reckon it's a good 'un and it actually looks pretty good on the bare steels. 8.5/10 BXing.
