.....driving a BX I mean!
Ours had been off the road for a while, courtesy of a local Brit who took forever to fit a replacement pinion on the steering rack, and then could not get it to work. Got fed up waiting, got a replacement rack from a steering supplier over here, and fitted it myself.
Car back on the road, tracking checked, replaced the back three parts of the exhaust, and indicator stalk, and its now sporting a fresh CT for another 2 years.
Done about 150 km in the last two days, and on Friday my mate and I are treating it to a new cambelt, water pump, and crankshaft seal to stop some of the oil leaks.
Realised we had bought this car over 6 years ago, cannot remember the last car we owned for this long.
