So, I've lurked long enough and its time to finally post


Recommended Posts

Hello all shiters,

 

As per title, I've lurked long enough. I thought I didn't want or need another forum in my life, but as I've pretty much stopped posting anywhere else, it seems this place is the one stop cover all for the stuff I am interested in.

 

Some of you may know me from other places as either stinkwheel or indeed even as just matt.

I am a chod-a-holic and so's my (much) better half.

By way of example, our current daily fleet is... 1996 escort 1.6 LX, 1997 Shitroen XM 16v, a little AX 1.0i 4 speed and a slightly broken Xantia 1.9TD, with the mighty XUD and a Peugeot expert van. That's just whats sort of on the road, we actually own about 16 or so cars between us. Most of them Citroens (I know, glutton for punishment) 

 

I've added a few pics (assuming it works) to hopefully illustrate how bad the madness actually is.

Feel free to marvel / abuse as you may see fit.

Quite a lot of rubbish French cars there. Just goes to show, some people never learn. I quite fancied a taste of how bad it could get, though, so went out and bought an even more hopeless Ami than yours. It didn't disappoint.

Good to see you, there are a few BXClub folks on here! Did I buy a black GSA from you once?

Jeeprs, there's a blast from the past! Good to see you on here, Mr Wheel.

Welcome.

Is that Spanners changing the GS wheel ?

He should be on here too.

Welcome along Mr Wheel! Is your other half on here too? I think she'd fit in equally well...

Zut Alors! What a fantastic collection of old Cits. :-D

Welcome....

 

When I sold my last 2cv, I honestly thought i'd done with them for life. Just recently however i've found myself typing '2CV' into ebay and car and classic most days.

 

I suspect the same thing will happen with BXs one day in the future.

It is.  I took the photo!

OOOOH a man after my own heart. Welcome from the far side.

I remember selling the GSA to Spanner’s, for the Scally Rally. I think I sold it for £100 for the car and £300 for the stereo. I may have under charged him for the stereo. My Mrs cried when I sold it, as it was brought to tow the trailer tent, when she had been assaulted at work and had her arm broken. I wish I still had it.

It lives on, in a big shed in Northants somewhere.

Blimey, first off a catch all post........im amazed at the many replies, also even more amazed as it said the post had failed to work and my post count is still at zero??  Is it me?

 

I will reply to some of the posts with specific questions etc separately shortly (after I have eaten my sarnies)

 

Have another pic for good measure in the meantime

It may even be moving soon to my driveway so I can weld it in idle moments.

Well Ian, If you wanted to talk, I probably have both a 2CV and BX projects for sale......
