timmyteapot Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Finally joined up, though it was about time with the plethora of old shit that keeps me poor most months, mostly old Citroens and a V8 SD1 , recently sold a pimped up Mk2 Golf. Cant seem to resist old unwanted french tat, 'specially if its interesting or quirky. Will post some pics up when im not blocked from photobucket at work, some of you may know my motors anyway as I get about a bit (dont I dollywobbler), a certain hearing aid beige BX GT is one of mine.....

Have you still got pcitures of the Sierra you sold?That'll keep some of em really happy on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmyteapot Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Christ on a bike Marty , do you ever do any work or do you spend all day on car forums like me. Nah that sierra is long gone, I would have kept it if had been an earlier one and not poo to drive without pas, went to the emerald isle in march 09, apparently the guy liked rwd cars to go racing with so its probably bean cans by now.

Father Ted Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Back doing proper nursing now (so on shifts, like today Im doing a 1pm to 10pm).Cant get on anything interesting at work as this place is blocked due to the language.For instance "Pimhohe" earns a blocking, yet Fcuk doesnt.Weird.

timmyteapot Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 THe early shape was like that Michel. Welcome to the site Timmy, The BX GT sounds interesting. Michel you are correct that the Series 1 Sd1 did have recessed headlamps but on my car they are further back still as it has headlamp wash/wipe (they still work ) so well spotted. The BX GT is rare and very tidy but hearing aid beige which is very 80s I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete-M Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Bloody hell, working headlamp wash/wipe on an S1? That's unheard of. The headlight washers work on mine, but I think that's just a fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUNO Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Howdie to you, problem though. I cannot see any tat in your photos. however if you want tat I have an Sd1 with crappy blue paint and at present an ever-increasing pool of oil (p/s fliud) underneath, but I still love it! And it has had the front susp rebuilt recently too! Your whole fleet is want for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmyteapot Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 There nowt wrong with 205's! Great cars, but nearly all BXs 16vs (and 405mi16) have been sent to an early grave as engine donors, ive lost count of the amount advertised on ebay as a "rolling shell" which is worth nowt. Same with MG Metro Turbos, all cut up to make fast Minis (I like minis too). The Gold wheels are the originals on the SD1 and yes they were Gold from new!

barrett Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Welcome, excellent tat collection!The beige BX is fantastic, as is the SD1. Series 1s were such a clean design, but I honestly can't remember the last time I saw one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brammy777 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Fantastic cars, I remember being amazed (like many children at the time, no doubt) by my uncles BX lowering when he parked it up. I always did like that car. And the SD1 is lovely! Last time I saw an early one in the wild, it had travelled all the way from Holland! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmyteapot Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Brammy thats what did me, we had a Black (with twin gold side stripes!!) Mk1 BX in '85, complete with rotating drum speedo, fingertrip pod controls ala CX, electric windows!!! a tudor webasto sunroof and central locking, which to an 11 year old car fanatic was mesmorising! It was a diesel too which added to its "difference" compared to the Montego 1.3 Base it replaced (I like montegos btw but that one was shite) and as you say once that height leaver came in to play that was it, I was hooked, 25 years later................Ive owned 26 of them (and no montegos yet). Sadly it died in 1991 aged just 7 (it was a company hack and changed in 1987 with 120000 miles on the clock for a NEW Sierra 2.3DL Sapphire) but the early BX's were a bit fragile.
