Meanwhile, back on the topic. Someone told me yesterday that there is a web site to discover just how many particular models of your car are currently registered.
Not much interest to the casual onlooker, but I'd like to check my little racer out. Anyone know of the address? Can't find owt on google. ::)

.  Citroen BX 1.6 TurboDiesel

No. Either 1.7 or 1.9. IIRC they were the only two diesel units available for the BX, and IIRC again, it was only the 1.7 that was offered with a turbo. rubschin:


How you finding the Grand Picasso C4?

Citroen XM Estate TurboDiesel

Lovely motor when they weren' t bust...especially the petrol version.

Bloody hell Bouncer, Renault Fuego!


From this site.


I'd forgotten all about them. Had a mate who had one years ago, he reckoned it was the 'Goat's Gonads' - best car he'd had to that date!

I knew a guy had one of those ~ he was a special effects cameraman.
He swore he's never driven anything better.
