Mally Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Nothing to do with me and I can't help, But I suggest @Ghosty clears this at home before you start organising anything. I've seen his house and neighbours. strangeangel, Ghosty and loserone 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghosty Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 BTW if anyone can keep the BX for longer than a month, please take it on. I don't want to know what'll happen if it outstays its welcome here. It'll either shaft me or the car somehow. strangeangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to know what'll happen if it outstays its welcome here. It'll either shaft me or the car somehow. Just as I said to Strangeangel if things get sticky I'm happy to step in - though I really *shouldn't* as I haven't the space or the time and we're *trying* to keep the spending down right now. You guys need to save me from myself as I'm starting to talk myself into it. At least it looks like we might have a plan in place for shifting one of the fleet off site temporarily if needed, which makes things a bit easier... though another project *really* wasn't on the radar! We really don't have room for an additional car here long term. Because it would be a project... I'm itching to give that car a good valet, reckon she'd look fantastic with a good polish and wax and the interior given a good scrub up. The elusive misfire has me intrigued too and I want to try to get to the bottom of it. Have a friend locally who's into Citroens as well who I'm sure would be happy to lend a hand with some of the bigger jobs - steering rack is the only thing which worries me to be honest. Is there a replacement with the car or does one still need to be bought...or more to the point be *found?* As I expect finding it will be the hard part. Could be an interesting lockdown/spring project though... mk2_craig, strangeangel, LightBulbFun and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strangeangel Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Great news... the car's future is assured. It's off to Chez @Zelandeth on Wednesday. There's still a few quid in the pot from last time, as @KruJoe very kindly moved the car for fish and chips last time, but it's going a good bit further on this latest excursion. I'm still holding about £40, and I will add a few quid to that... any donations will be gratefully received - drop me a PM for details.

Zelandeth Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Yep...as said above despite me being threatened with mild maiming by the family, it'll be appearing here in a few days. There's no *need* to chip in to covering the transport costs as it's coming either way - but anything is really appreciated as the timing really isn't great and as a household are currently out an income (fixed term contracts suck... especially when they end in the middle of a pandemic) and I'd just spent quite a bit on the rest of the fleet. The next couple of months were meant to be ones where I was keeping the costs down! Unless I get really stuck with something I'd hope to be able to get things going forward sorted off my own back, but anything towards the initial transport cost is really appreciated. It's a bit hard to set out a long term plan when I've not even seen the car (I don't think I've ever even seen a photograph of the nearside!)...Though I really don't have room for another permeant resident...so in all likelihood it will be up for grabs again later in the year/next year. Albeit without an axe hanging over its head and *hopefully* with a current MOT. Bottom line though, it's heading here and has a safe haven here as long as necessary. I did have a bit of a moment of "oh god is this fate telling me something?" Moment when I saw the Sterling Motor Group stickers on the BX. I draw your attention to the shadows of a sticker that obviously was on my Activa at some point... Small world isn't it! Edited February 13, 2021 by Zelandeth bloody autocorrect...

Tomtation Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Always good to see some beige BX action! A reg rarity etc too! 😎 Well done that man. I gotta say though, that rear bumper is really bothering me, although in fairly decent nick it is a MK2 jobbie. Sacrilege! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta say though, that rear bumper is really bothering me, although in fairly decent nick it is a MK2 jobbie. Sacrilege! It's already on my list! At the very least it will need to be painted the right colour until such point as I can track down the proper part...which will be "fun" I'm sure. At least if it's colour matched to the front one it will stick out far less like a sore thumb. For the sake of anyone reading through this thread in the future, the next chapter in this car's story will begin Over here in my Fleet Blog... adw1977, Burnside and LightBulbFun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatfoolish Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 For Mk1 plastics a request to one of AS's french contingent might be a better bet than looking in the UK; it was hard enough for Bournite to find an early Sierra rear bumper and they sold rather better than the BX.
