BXProject

Got a log journey planned tomorrow afternoon, from Basingstoke to Kings Lynn...

Anyone along this route got any severe weather issues / road problems? :

A1 (hatfield - stevenage), A505 (baldock - royston - cambridge), A10 thru Ely to Kings Lynn.

(Double posted to BXC for extra bodies)

hatfield will be shite, its always shite.

snow apparently mate. You getting that pikey van?
serious here dude, a mate of my dad's got into trouble towing a van with a bx. Your van looks fairly big and the bx is light as a feather, so take it easy mate

see posts on facebook and bxc,

take it easy mate and if you want a rest stop at MK give us a shout

It`s been snöing all day here, we now have another foot of it ontop of the 3 foot already down and we have it forecast for the next 3 out of 4 days.
At least it`s come up from -25 to -5.
Sme disruption to the trains but everything else is working as normal

Bristol's improving, slowly, more fucking snow on Monday though, not that the weather in Brizzle helps you at all..
But yes, take it easy mucker.

Not looking forward to the -9ºc forcast on saturday...

Well, it's all back in one piece, and very impressed with what we got for our money!

FYI, we didn't take the BX (it failed the MOT), i borrowed a mates Nissan Cabstar but even so, i'm not worried about towing it to cornwall with the BX... It drags lurvely (for a tin shack with tyres).

I'll be back...! Aren't YOU a lucky lot...

Bah! Mintysweet!

Well done mate, hope it opens up a great 2011 for you.

Snö still at it here and we have another 24 hrs of it yet, then sun and -17!!!
Snow plough has just cleared our track to the main road, once again.
I kid you not. There is over a meter of lying snö now and it`s six ft deep at the side of the roads where the plough has been.
Hej ho!!!Jägermeister here I come.

Ironically, after all the major components i replaced, it failed on the washer jets & number plate lamps...

My own fault really, i told my tester i was gonna be relying on it heavily for the next 6 months so don't do me any favours (like he normally would). He gave it a proper good going over from top to bottom & found absolutely NO issues with it.

Got a good 'un there me thinks!

ace, not bad at all then!
You keeping it now then?

Yup, it's towing the pikey mobile!

No sense of getting rid of a good car for the unknown!

good call! Excellent news!

I think you should keep it jay, it's a ruddy goodun I phink!

Didn't even know you had doubts about it .... a good 'un is worth keeping. I deeply regret getting rid of mine (though it was unavoidable as i couldn't afford to keep any car going at the time).

Are things improving for you now then mate? I do hope so.

Never had doubts about the car, it was just the question of whether we were going to: 1) Buy a Motorhome and get shot of the BX. 2) Tow a caravan with the BX. 3) Need something a bit meatier to tow a caravan & get rid of the BX.

Fortunately, the caravan comes well within the legal limits for BX towing so it's staying (just need to weight the fucking car down a bit now)

Idid wonder about your caravan to tow car weight percentage , glad its ok , last thing I towed with a bx was a little 1986 avondale pearl argos
