Whats a BX (working) like? I have a ZX I`d like to get rid of, but I`m

intrigued by the odder Citroens. The ZX is a great workhorse, but if I`m

forced to stay with budget cars ATM, I would be interested in one with a

bit of character. A BX sounds like more fun than a ZX. Has to be the

estate as it would be my camping car towing a trailer. Non pink camping

that is. I`ve always used Volvo 740 estates before, but can`t afford the

petrol these days. ZX is a diesel, I hope there is a diesel BX?

Now you`ve lost it - Maserati biturbo indeed...(wait till it rusts then use

the oily bits for the Sylva)



Regarding the E class cabriolet, it appears not. Although I`m seeing one

fairly local for 7 grand.

To be honest, the sheer ordinaryness of the golf is possibly a good point.

Any repair I could think of (with the exception of the hood) would involve

nothing more than nipping into GSF or euro for the bits and doing it. I

don`t see that as being the case with the Benz.



Other than that, life would an endless series of balmy evenings driving

through the Dukes pass to Loch Katrine with the top down and some obscure

Jazz on the CD player...

I might have been joking. Maybe...

Hmmm, if that`s in budget, I think it would be worth a look, especially

if it`s six cylinders and automatic. Very classy indeed, rare, and well

built.

Of course it`s the case with the Benz. Apart from the hood, it`s a W124.

They do loads of W124 bits. Hell, some of the W124 parts are cheap from

Mercedes themselves!

Very nice :)

Title: Home.

Decided to go home today.  Found my camera that I’ve been meaning to either put on Craigslist or find a friend to buy it off of me.  Money is a bit tight these days.

Went home today to see that there is a deck being built.  I thought it was something super simple, but man was I wrong.

Pretty gnarly.

Title: Tuning: Mansory CYRUS based on Aston Martin DBS or DB9
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:15:13 +0000
Author: Trance4you

Mansory tuning house presents the Cyrus aerodynamic kit for the the Aston Martin DBS or the DB9. The Cyrus emphasises masculinity and power with the carbon fibre wing extensions, newly designed rear skirt with the integrated diffuser and provides space for four stainless steel and pipes of the sonorous sport exhaust system.

The two slotted right domes on the carbon fibre bonnet send extra air into the 12 cylinder engine. The car squats on large 9×20 front and 10.5×21 rear specially-insincere striking rims wrapped in 255/30ZR20 front and 295/25ZR21 rear Dunlop Sport Maxx tyres. The coilover suspension has been adjusted to lower the centre of gravity and upgrade street property for providing the best road holding.

Mansory’s definition of luxury extends to the interior where tailor-made carbon fibre parts are found. They involve some bits from the console, the centre console and the re-designed steering controls. Foot gearshift was made of aluminium while the door sills and head rests feature embroidered CYRUS logos. Hand-stitched leather covers the seats, parts of the dashboard and inside the door panels.
