How long have you owned yours.....?

Post by CoolCarbon »

After posting that I'm selling my phase I after two-ish years of ownership, it occured to me that my phase II is the car that I have owned the longest.....ever... :shock:

Out of all my past wheels, the Black Beast has been giving me pleasure (and some grief) since Feb. 93, coming up for 14 years....nearly a lifetime.... :wink:

For the last 4 years I've felt that it was always going to fall under the MOT Testers Axe, but so far, it's always managed to pulled off that stay of execution... :)

The last time it was in, the tester commented that it was better than a lot of younger stuff he gets in.....

How long have you owned your 16valver(s).... :?:

I've owned mine about 2 and a half years now. I don't intend on selling it though, even if I am tempted to torch it occasionally....I can't sell it anyway, its been on telly. Its more famous than me :lol:

You can see pictures in the garage....but there are no more to be coming until it has completed its new look. What will 2007 bring :?:

:lol:

I have collected many pics of bx's over the years, I cannot really say where or when I got this pic. I was just scouring through my Archos and came across it.
