How not to recover a BX

Post by jonathan_dyane » 08 May 2010

Last year the father decided he wanted another BX, and we had to fetch it from London. The lad videoed us 'loading up' so for your viewing enjoyment I may now furnish you with the evidence.

It would have been better if the Transit had a longer bed :oops:

That last shot is comical! It's like a scene out of a modern day Steptoe and Sons! Erm...........why not drive the fucker home?!

Does he still have it? Looks a tidy motor
....There he goes, one of God's own prototypes, a high powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production......too weird too live.....and too rare to die

We got all the way home without it falling off, and I'm pleased to report it also worked well as an anti-tailgating device :D

Father does still have it, and it's not a bad motor. We didn't drive it due to no T&T, a fucked alternator and a sizable LHM leak.

I would be most surprised indeed to hear of anything falling of the back of the Transit and getting damaged... :wink:

And now I know who fallensyncronicity is!

I'm not stalking you, just that you'd previously commented on one of my videos and I didn't know who you were!

Well, you only had to ask... :roll: :wink:

Actually, that reminds me of when I was at school, I fancied a girl for about 5 years but did nothing about it. Nothing apart from following her home from time to time and daydreaming of what could be. Probably slightly creepy for her had she realised!
Anyway, just recently she tracked me down via Facebook and I confessed to stalking her all those years ago. Turned out she rather liked me too. Ho hum, such is life...

Ah, but in this case we did meet up again, and to be honest she's gone to seed somewhat after our school days (two kids doesn't do the female figure any favours).
Whereas of course us men look better and better with every passing year... :oops:
