What's this BX rod? Any pics?

 

 

 

 

For some reason, I expected batman and robin to get out...

Holy muthafuckin crapoly...

 

That's badass!

 

But somehow the knowledge that it's just got a four-banger under the bonnet would let it down for me... I think I'd rather get me a real Bel Air or Eldorado instead.

Yeah, because that makes sense, taking a four-door FWD car and turning it into a pickup... gimme a Holden Maloo HSV any day. Or this:

Surely a FWD pickup with self levelling suspension is better than an RWD one without.

Now to be fair the Xantia pick up idea saved that car from scrap. It had roof damage so instead of scrapping a good running useable vehicle - it was converted to the pick up style vehicle.

Nope, better rear-end traction in RWD w/o self-levelling, not to mention the fact that FWD automatically sucks (torque steer, endless understeer, harder to work on). Plus I think that M5 ute HAS got self-levelling (from the 5 Touring) to save space. Plus, if there's no load in the back, plus 450bhp and a V8 pressing over the front wheels, you'll get less understeer and more of this:

Meh. Don't like Xantias anyway. At least not beat-up ones. It ought at least be done smarter than that (and not on a diesel model either).

I saw a Rat-look Xantia pickup conversion in Leicester a few weeks ago. Wouldn't be suprised if its the same owner.
