Don't loose the Citroen!!

The BX has got to be the last French whacky cars, full of idiosyncrasies
and styled by Italian superhero Gandini (of Lambo Miura fame), and in
this current age of Euro/Jap boxes that all look the same it is good to
drive something a little more individual. I drive a Ford Mondeo :-| as
my 2nd car (after the Stag that is!)

Funny how the BX doesn't look as dated as a lot of other cars that were
designed around the same time.

My brother is now on his third, he unfortunately treats his cars like
rubbish and drives them hard but unlike his Fiat Panda, Allagro, BMC
1100 and Peugeot 405 he cannot beat the BX.

Oh I guess I must be out of the closet now.

	Sorry to hear about your problem and this is not a stag answer
and probably
	one which you do not want to hear, but frankly I would dispose
of the Citroen.

	Maybe remove the accelerator pedal for posterity sake,

	keep staggering  brian
