the bidding appeared to be started by low feedbackers, most likely all mates trying to bump up the price a bit and the questions are a bit of the usual tw#tish behavoir!!![:0]
anyways, full credit to him for taking on the bx as a challenge but why o why has he chosen an auto??? i supose one things for sure, when he's with the lads who are boasting about how much there hydraulic conversion cost he can say 'mine was standard'[:)]!

Don't call it sick!! The "kids" in Coventry seem to treat this word as the new "wicked." Russ Swift was at the grand opening of the facelifted Coventry Transport Museum and he was chucking a Mitsubishi Evo around in his usual brilliant manner but it was ruined for me by all the chavs shouting "Sick man!" Has a totally different meaning in my book!

Shame because that was a nice BX three months ago.

Hang on guys, a bit cruel I think... Citroens aren't all growing beards and caravanning !! There are a fair amount of silly extras there, but the car looks clean. Give a bit of credit for choosing something other than a Nova or Saxo to play with. How many here can remember their early cars without cringing a little ?

True, he has shown courage....shall we admit him to the brotherhood? how strong is the force in this one?

True, its better choice than the usual Nova/Fiesta.....definatly not into caravaning and don't have a beard either......just p*sses me off when people advertise cars on net either dirty or with comments like; 'needs new wiper blades', 'interior needs hoover' etc. If they can't be assed with basic, easy jobs like that then really doubt they've looked afer it mechanically either.

I think this one illustrates your point perfectly Owen..........

Doesn't it just!! All it needed was a bucket of warm water, car shampoo and hose down and would have looked quite smart.

Well the original "Maxy Pants" car listed at the beginning of this thread:-
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... eName=WDVW
Should have "SORTED" the badges out properly !
It was a BX, now it should have OLLO, inserted between the B and the X, because that's what it now is ! [:D]

Just noticed, its got a ZX steering wheel.

Dave Bamber · Post by **Dave Bamber** » 12 Mar 2005, 23:51

ZX it is, I prefer the original 4 spoke though.
This one caught my eye...

Only because I thought it was my old TXD from 5 years ago! It isn't though as I added orange marker lights on the front and rear corner bumpers and HUGE Citroen badges on the "C" panels.

Well David at least the car, in your above post looks presentable. [:)]
Unlike the other one that you posted a link on:-

How someone expects to sell something without even cleaning it amazes me. Even if the car is in need of repair, it should still be made presentable, instead of being left to look like a dirty turd.

I emailed the guy about the milage, as it isn't listed.
About 170,000! Hmmm, might leave that one then.
