Well done matt for getting it in print.

Nice one... I totally forgot about that.

Anything that raises the profile of the BX in the classic scene is a good thing, is it not?

I will do a scan at some point for all to see

Regards,
Matt

Great to see ANY mention of Citroen in the classic mags rather than the usual
fare! If I see another red MG or Triumph...

Something about 2CVs in the same issue too!

And an MGB, and a Stag.........

Damn!

I made the previous posting only to see the red Triumph and it was purely
by coincidence - I looked at Matt's BX and my internal filter blacked out the
other cars... until I saw the page refresh!!

Proves the point though. Or an E-Type or other random Jag...

Worth trying Classic & Sportscar. I worked at Haymarket Group last year, and sat right near the C & SC editorial team. David Evans (chief sub) runs a GSA (what were the chances??), Graeme Hurst is restoring a Traction Big Six and previously owned a Light 15, and they were recently lent an SM by SeMantics as a pool car and they all loved it. Shame I didn't get to blag a ride in it before I left in Feb

Mark.

Keith Adams of PC runs / owns a 1400cc BX - never seen it in the mag, never got the club a mention either

Keith Adams left PC last month Marty to go to a "rival" magazine.

Did he indeed... What is the rival then? Classics Monthly? Car mechanics? (Honestly, I dont know why Peter Simpson has to diss PC like he does - its in someone elses hands now Peter, deal with it - if you dont like the content dont buy it)

On the www.aronline.co.uk forum for sad people like me who like old BL stuff he mentioned that he was escorted off the premises the day he handed in his notice. Classic Cars is PC's sister publication so it must have been somewhere else?

This is probably going to sound quite funny, but the reason you never saw Keith Adams' BX in PC, is because it is actually mine... Keith Adams is my Dad

If you look at the top picture of my car in the Gallery page you can actually see half of PC's staff

This might also help you all understand how I got my car in the mag

If you ever want to get any of your cars in PC, your best bet is writing to Neil... Although probably not another BX for a little while after just having one in.

His new job will be working for Octane... Which to be fair isn't really a rival to Practical is it.

Thanks for all the comments.

Regards,
Matt

Well it IS a small world isnt it!

And of course he ticks all the right boxes for me -

BX - check
ADO16 - check
Probably drinks beer (needs to come down the Anchor one Friday they has good old fashioned lock ins) - check
