Hi guys i thought i would try and post some pictures of our bx's

this was my first bx when it was a few weeks old in 1988.

it was a bit misty but we had just driven up this.

This is the txd turbo we have had for the last 10 years a every day runabout

this one was given to us last year

and as it is now still a every day car

Thats some lovely shots of the GTi. I love piccies like that, they could be straight from a catalog!
Nice work dude, and look! It's THAT white P2 valver behind your car at the national. Owned a dude who was clearly too good to talk to us mere mortals....

Those alloys are very nice. What are they? Really suit the car.

Yes saw the dark one at the National.

sorry i dont know what make the alloys are ,they were on a written off gti i had a few years ago. they could do with a bit of a tidy up due to some curb damage! maybe i have them done over the winter, then i will have to stop the wife from driving her own car to save them

Is pic 6 taken at the the service carpark at Slip End?
I have seen that scene many times - we've had 7 citroens (5 BX, 1 Visa and 1 Xantia) in the last 20 years, all maintained there until xmas eve last year! (when I was told not to come back ..... )
Think I have also seen the blue BX there and at Limbury Meads,

They are genuine BX alloys made by speedline as fitted to hurricane and 16vs (in different rim widths) and were optional on GTi's 8vs.

Whereabouts were the first 3 photos taken? They remind me of somewhere in Ireland but I can't put my finger on it...

Hi matt they were taken in north wales . cant remember where abouts it was, somewhere in the snowdon area. it was 20 years ago and the old brain is a bit fuzzy

In that case I should recognise them as that's where I'm living at the moment

- my wife reckons that it's Dinorwig reservoir (where they pump the water up to a reservoir high up during the night, then release it when needed).

YOU could well be right i remember visting a hydroelectric power station which they drove you inside the mountain on a coach .with the reservior at the top
