BX!!!!!

is that the turbo??? my best mate had a great GSA pallas which was a great car! so smooth but my french tat was a rapid 205 Mi16 :twisted:


now that was a car! i reckon my 335i would beat it but not by much and round the corners that french tat was MEGA!!! :D i only sold it as i wanted some rear drive fun.

as for dates i have no idea as i cant plan that far ahead. to thick.
but i will talk to my girlfriend tonight and see what we are doing.

The BX 16v has the Mi16 engine.

My mate has a GSA, and he had a GS for a while too. Very rare beasties!

cheers

This is a thread about organising a meet - can we keep this on topic please!

If i wanted to read about the BX 16v, I would visit a related forum.... I like the 16v myself, but imo this isn't the place for discussion, within a completely unrelated thread

I'd like to give SteveP a bit of support here ... That's what a mod is for IMO, keeping threads on topic and using their editing rights wisely if necessary.

Not that I've got anything against 80's french hot hatches mind ;-) more the opposite ...

Agreed.

Without a bit of control then the threads will all end up going completely off topic, and so 6 months down the line when I want to find information about an odd symptom I'd seen recently I know where to look, and wont be accosted by pictures of boring, FWD, froggy trash on every page!

*David doesn't like french cars, as they are badly made, smelly, and surrender whenever they see anything german!*

That said, there are other forums that are far too heavily moderated (barryboys springs instantly to mind) and so you end up with the first page of every forum with 8 stickies, 4 topics with 200 pages of replies and then 38 locked threads, and we don't want to end up in that situation.

To prevent that, it's easy. Stick to the topic, if there's something that arises from a discussion that's going to have some length to it, either do it somewhere else (citroenBXmania.com or something) or make a new thread in the general discussion forum!

Oh, and I probably wont be free between Christmas and New Year, but if it's possible, I'll definitely come!

Posting pics might have been a step too far, but let's not get too carried away. Perhaps we should have a forum 'suggestion' (rule seems a bit harsh) that if you want to thread-jack with pics, you do so with a link to a thread (assuming it's worthy of a thread)?

Either way, let's not get ourselves too wound up over it. Back to the meet discussion!

cheers

hi

any sunday is good for me

*prepares to be shouted down* but the UK C30 chap are provisionally planning a meet in the North West. would a joint meet be a good or bad idea.

at least the 300 chaps have an idea of where to meet... C30 chaps are still "shall we meet?" stage.... :)
Enjoy your 300s

also.... as some chaps from here frequent the 480 club (popular trubo conversions, parts swaps etc) their last meet was in August so how about I suggest the meet to them too?

I know this is a 300 meet but we all like volvos and might as well get as many people I think. Just my thoughts....

If I can make the meet (sunday please!) I'll be coming in the 850 or 440 diesel so..... :)
Enjoy your 300s

Is it technicaly possible for 1 car to be considered a meet.........?

I'm free 1/2/8/9/24-31 of Dec.
I've got some provisional ideas for a route through the Peak District and some possible meeting places/eateries. What sort of length drive are we after 1hr or 4hr or something inbetween?
