Re: bought myself a Citroen BX!
Gosh
Did I read correctly that he originally started the bidding at £9,999?
Even a £1,999 start is way OTT even for two of them..
Still the Q and A section was good for a giggle...

Re: bought myself a Citroen BX!
Oh gosh Paul, he'll be absolutely over the moon...
Are you a member of the BXC? A PM there might be seen sooner. If not, I am and will be happy to send him a PM on your behalf sir...
Tim's not been on the FCF much since we all suggested he get himself a nice XM... He was not very receptive to that idea and I can't think why. A BX is only a baby XM after all...

Paul, consider it done. It'll direct Tim to the FCF and you and he can carry on the dialogue from there...citroenxm wrote: That would be good Jim if you could. Thankyou!
You know, I've never had a BX and never even driven one. Nearest is a short trip in one at Stratford.

Re: bought myself a Citroen BX!
The bx is a million times lighter than a xm. They are great cars, and the XM and xantia have as lot to thank the bx for, but there has been some progress since. The bx feels very light and flimsy compared to the following XM, zx and xantia.
