. I was telling him about cars which I thought were going to be good but turned out to be anything but . First up it's 1993 and I'd had a couple of Bx16v's but for some crazy reason wanted a change so I thought I'd give an MG montego turbo a try , I found one locally and went over in the Bx to have a look and a test drive , the seller was saying how good they were and how quick it was so I took it out for a drive . Well all I can say is NAFF , there's not even one good point about the MG , plenty of bad points yes , I didn't get it obviously and kept the Bx . Next up another car which I thought would be good but turned out to be rubbish was Sunderlands finest a Nissan bluebird 1.8 Zx turbo with a full bodykit , very eyecatching at the time . I went to see one near where I worked at the time and wanted it SO bad so I took it out for a spin and found out what a pile of crap they are , not particulary quick and just plain boring to drive , the Bmw E30 323i I had at the time would have destroyed it , the Bx valver wouldn't have had to draw sweat . The only rivals which I have drove which came close and in some ways bettered the Bx were the Renault 21 Turbo , I drove a friends at the time and I was speechless , WHAT a car but sadly I never got chance to own one . The next was the Bx16v's cousin the Peugeot 405 Mi16 , this was that nice I bought it , a 1990 G reg in silver , a real beauty , quick , sleek and superb handling with a fantastic ride too , I ran this for a few months but I missed the rawness of the Bx so sold it on and guess what , I got another Bx16v in silver , well that's my remenicing over for today , does anybody else have any stories to tell of cars they were expecting to be great and turned out to be dogs ?Mark
