2006, BXTD Hybrid, P2 16v, FG ambulance (only the one trip this year), and several thousand miles in various buses!

I wish I was your age again bex, so many things I'd do differently!......and some I'd never have done :shock:

At the youthfull age of 27 now (? I think) it werent much different to now except that a gas powered berlingo figured quite highly, as did an LDV minibus, and about 4 land Rovers :lol: The loss of parking space by marrying girlfriend helped me decide to sell a few of the above!

I had a heavily modified MG Metro with a 1380 Racing engine in which continually blew up!

I sold it for silly money and bought a 1990 BX 16TZS in white, which I loved but it went wrong all the time as usual so I sold it a year later for a New AX which I hated and kept for 2 months!

That was my first of 11 bxs ive owned so far!

Hey Tim was it a minisport or was it minispares engine by any chance they were truly dreadfull things - I remembr speaking to MED about them and I said the best thing in their kit was the crank and MED said "we know we machine the cranks" :D
MED was minisprt engine developments Ltd IIRC and were very good back then.

Cheers

ha ha ha ha ha, bar myself Bex and Tim , your all old! :D

I can however almost guarantee that by the time i reach as old an age as 26 (way over half way to 50) i'll still be driving a BX, can't see it going anywhere, but might by that time develop a friend :D

Does it count that I died twice last year (only for brief periods you understand) and therefore I could get away with saying I'm only 15months old, therefore making all of you seem very old?!?!? :D
