Re: BX GT Classic Road Test
That LNA looks lovely. Especially the period alloys. Almost as nice as the 104 at the campsite on the Challenge.

Re: BX GT Classic Road Test
But naturally everyone should still buy it in the shops! 
Mickey - that LNA is my mate's car. He's just bought a gorgeous Reynard metallic Allegro. He was also my co-driver on the BXagon Challenge so is quite mad.

Re: BX GT Classic Road Test
or, it might encourage people to buy it? I'm more tempted now, same with music and books, I prefer to have an actual hardcopy rather than downloaded versions you cant ever really "own"..
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!
Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

I think I can speak for the international crowd when I say thanks for uploading, I probably wouldn't have seen it any other way!

Re: BX GT Classic Road Test
I think it's highly unlikely that CCM is going to have to face receivership as a result of my posting the article up. I bought two copies (one for my old man) and some of my classic car mates have been press ganged into buying it on the promise that they won't have to listen to my, 'you are SO wrong about BXs' speech ever again (I lied about that!
).

Re: BX GT Classic Road Test
I'm glad you posted it up, as I haven't found anywhere near me that sells it. In fact the only classic car magazine I can find for sale in the nearest town is Classic & Sports Car, which for some reason, just isn't 'me'. Come to think of it, it doesn't really fit the general population in a mining town with high unemployment!

I'd mind a lot less if any where in the West Midlands actually stocked the magazine!Dollywobbler wrote:Oh and I hope Vanny doesn't mind that his 16v sneaks into the full feature.
As it is I've had to order back issues

Re: BX GT Classic Road Test
Bought mine the other day, GT looks fantastic Tim, interesting to compare it visually to Vanny's lovely 16v. It really does look 'anaemic' as Ian put it!
