Wicked Red Metallic... Queens heads are good currency where i be from

Don't know about the strips, but i am tempted to dump my C5 on your drive for a polish! How much do ye charge?

That's a lurverly motor! The car passed me just outside Newquay, he looked just as surprised to see the BX as i did the DS!

Swapsies? Nah, didn't think so!

I know people tend to slate them but I had no problems with my Xantia TD, it was in essence a good, soli, reliable car...

Mind you, i've just gone to a C5 so fingers crossed reliability's still there!

T'was definitely SILVER with black rear numberplate "surround" hence 16V, GTi or TZD...

That's the 3rd BX i've seen in 6 months down here... more than i saw in the previous 3 years up country!

Only caught a glimpse of it in my RVM, was either a P1 16v (Bob Hughes???) or a Gti/TZD

Anyways, it was Silver and going the other way somewhere between Hayle and Chivvy... my head is full of cold atm...

Well, if anyone comes across a "cat" (DFW engine) motor on it's last legs (or just the engine), i'm still looking for one cheapish...

I don't *believe* the Xantia arms are a direct replacement but if they do widen the track i'd be surprised if you'd get your current wheels back on.

Machining of the arms is seldolm needed....

The best handling one I persoanlly have driven was a 16v on a set of old and flat spheres in otherwise standard spec! The less gas is in them the stiffer the spring rate (and the bouncier it is) - less gas to compress, the gas is the spring, the holes arre the dampers. Flat spheres are simply NO sp...

There are two factors to consider here:- The pressure: This is the pressure of the nitrogen surrounding the bladder of the sphere. The higher the gas pressure, the less the LHM filled bladder is able to intrude into the gas half of the sphere, therefore stiffening the ride as the bladder is not able...

Bargain. Not too dissimilar to my TGD - my daily hack.

Yes EWT (blanc meije) is also a 16V colour, both my 16v and my TGD are this colour.

We REALLY need a smiley with a boner!

Twas spotted earlier by the Leeches (pun intended) over on BXClub...

As the vultures started to circle I did point out where i recognised it from and that it was a good motor!

I really wish i had the cash too dude!

ANPR doesn't work like that. It will only flash up if the car isn't on the insurance database, it knows no other details. So providing the car is insured the old bill will be none-the-wiser. Other than the actual existence of MOT & Insurance (TAX is civil and not covered by police ANPR only DVLA...
