Nice Rather have the Mi16 though... but the BX is noticably quicker, because it's alot more plasticy

Nice car, no doubt about it. The BX Sport (forerunner to the 16v) used the same carbs as my car.

cheers

Plasticy = lighter = quicker = good! Plus the BX looks sooo much cooler!

Havent had a reply from the bloke so doesnt look like I'll be getting it though

James - wasnt the Sport the forerunner to the GTi, rather than the later introduced 16v (which was the successor to the GTi-16valve)?

I test drove an Mi16... and I love that engine, I was naturally thinking I needed to change up at 6k.. oh no.. BX 16v Gtis are quite rare now and therefore pretty expensive unfortunately!

Indeed. My old housemate had a 309Mi16 then a 405Mi16. Man I loved that 309. Probably about the same sort of performance as the BX 16v.

I'm trying to swap my Swift GTi for the BX, which is also a fairly rare car so I was hoping that would work in my favour!

That'd be the one...

A mate has a couple of GSAs...now they're pretty damn rare these days.

Sorry, I'm a bit of a Citroen/Peugeot geek

Well here's my history and they are all Volvos.

1988 I bought a 1979 343DL with manual gearbox.
1989 sold the old donkey and bought me a 1985 360GLS(I hate Solex CISAK).
1991 found a beautiful white 1986 360GLT at only 40000Km sunroof, leather and powerwindows(sp?).

1993 I stepped in to my Volvo dealer and saw an amazing black 1987 480ES, only 30000Km and practically untouched both inside and out.
1994 I stepped in again and found me a Blackmetallic 1988 480Turbo with leather, AC and 3000€ poorer(got 4000€ for the ES).
1999 I bought a 1984 "Volvo special delivery" 360GLT, don't know what was so special.......well ok....it looked like new, even after 160000Km.

2000 I found a white 1989 480Turbo that now have a broken gearbox(unusual ).
So now I drive a 1987 360GL with B200F, and yesterday I bought me a 1988 360GL kat.
350000Km on the 88 the car looks like new and only 100€.

I take no responsibility concerning spelling and grammar

The cs doesn't stand for Carrol Shelby, does it?

All the GTs are good, but a Shelby....

Is yours 350 or 500?

I'm quite surprised to see so many 2CV nuts here. My Mrs' dad is a regular on the UK scene, and is usually seen behind the scenes at the meets....and when I say meet....how does over 3000 cars grab you?

Rupert saw something funny a day after the world meet this summer...a sign on the M1 saying "Debris ahead", and 50 yds ahead, a rollled upturned bathtub...sorry...2cv. Ruth nearly got a 2cv, but I...sorry...Nessy managed to save the day.

Hmm last year when travelling to Scotland on the A74 I saw a couple of 2CV's heading north (one was a very early one). Let's just say they weren't breaking any speed records
